1917-1924

The Model H, 16-30 tractor appeared in 1919, replacing the 14-28. Engine size and speed remained the same as before. In May, 1920, Nebraska Test No. 9 was conducted on the 16-30. It used a Bosch D2 magneto, as did the 12-20 and 20-40 models. Minor mechanical problems arose during the tests, but after being corrected, the test was completed without difficulty. On the maximum drawbar test, the 16-30 developed a 4,674 pound drawbar pull, and went on to crank out 33.52 brake horsepower at its rated speed of 530 RPM. Production ended in 1924. Well known in the construction industry for its ability to pull equipment for general maintenance and repair work. This tractor was ideal for a medium sized farm and was able to pull a 14-inch moldboard plow under ordinary conditions. It could successfully handle a variety of drawbar and belt jobs as well.
