A rare tractor

jd2cyl1943 · Oct 29, 2023

So I've been researching Coleman tractors built by the Coleman Tractor Corp. of Kansas City, Missouri around 1920. I asked Gary Biewer about them and he sent me these pictures of his. Their are only 5 known to exist and he has 2 of them.

This phot w taken in 2017 of his gray Coleman. It's seat is set behind the tractor, which I imagine hampers visibility.

This photo (taken 2019) is of his green Coleman with Gary Biewer and his daughter Coleman in front of it. This one has the seat set higher so you can see over the hood

No problem. I didn't know their was such existed until this year when I met the Biewer family. I thought I would share it here because i figured people would be interested in their story. I found the Nebraska tractor test report for them a well. I believe Coleman only made one model, the B 16-30. They were made from 1918 to 1920 with a sale price of $1,750 in 1919. They weighed 4,925 pounds and had a four cylinder Climax L-head engine.

The link to the test.
