[SEL] Hercules tractor

[Glenn A Karch]

Andy,

Hercules did form a tractor compay.  They made a couple of prototypes.
There were two wheels in front and one rear drive wheel.  I think the Graham
Bros were also involed.  It was demonstrated at some state fairs and orders
were taken, but it was never produced.  It is said that it was demonstrated
in a field at Old Green River Road and Weinbach Ave.  I have never seen a
good picture of it.
