1936-1945

During the 1930s, Thieman designed an economy tractor that consisted of a $185 tractor frame, less the motor itself. Options included a governor, drawbar, air cleaner, and rubber or steel wheels. Designed specifically for the Model A Ford, this outfit was also available for use with a 1928 Chevrolet or a Dodge Four engine. The motor, driveshaft, and rear axle were then adapted to the Thieman frame. It was also arranged so that any two-row horse cultivator could be adapted to the tractor. The idea, of course, was to salvage the engines from used or junked automobiles and create inexpensive tractors from otherwise scrap components. The idea had quite a bit of merit during the depression years, and thus Thieman had a readily salable item right up until World War II curtailed production.
