(Scotland??!!) There was a considerable tractor export business in those days, and most Tioga production may well've been exported. The brochure says Tioga was then a Division of the Steinmetz Electric Motor Car Cptn, which was in financial trouble in 1924 and died (along with Steinmetz) in 26 or so, per Std Cat Am'can Cars. That Steinmetz was the electric development Steinmetz; neither the Std Cat nor Mroz's truck book mentions Tioga Tractor, but they seldom mentioned other ventures of the listed builders.   [Reply]   [Send Email]

Only one model listed: a "3", shown originally as a 15-27 or 15-30 with a Wisc 41/2x6 (my only parts catalog listing shows the model as "T3" with a Wisc VAU, which that same catalog says is a 41/2x6. I believe many (all?) of the water-cooled Wisconsins were OHV). That model was apparently later upgraded/re-rated to an 18-32 with a Midwest engine, cast in pairs, same b/s; that same parts catalog shows a Midwest 400 as having that b/s, but none of these old parts catalogs are complete. I would guess Googling would bring up more info.   [Reply]   [Send Email]
