THE tractor industry is getting set
i tied. The tractor manufacture
ers having found out pretty well what
ought to be made are working toward
the betterment of their product.
Among the biggest thoughts COM
ing out of the Fifth Annual National
Tractor Show at Kansas City last
week is the one that the industry
has attained its full growth and bids
fair to run parallel, before many
years, with the motor car and motor
truck industry.
By attaining its full growth we

mean the tractor and its many allied
industries are no longer looked upon
as weaklings or visions of the future
Power farming is here to stay. True,
many details still have to be dealt
with. Many problems have to be de-
cided in the next few years, but the
men connected with the perpetuation
of farm power equipment have the
experience of the motor car and
truck men to guide them.
Less Time to Perfect Tractor
1t, therefore, is logical to conclude
that the perfecting of the tractor or
farm power equipment will not re-
quire half the time it took to perfect
other automotive apparatus. The
problem resolves itself into one of
adapting time-tried and accepted
ideas to new field.

links. Chains and cables for steering
are far in the minority on present
day two and three-plow machines, al
tho they remain a necessity on the
extremely large tractors capable of
pulling twenty-four plows.
Parts Makers Influential in Tractor
Designs
The destiny of tractor designs is
being effected by the parts makers.
Today it is possible to build tractor
from units afforded by the market,
just as it is possible to build passen-
ger cars from standard units. We
can assemble tractors from the units
at hand, because the allied industries
have given us engines, transmissions,
axles, wheels, radiators, steering
gears and so on down to the smallest
units that go to make up the tractor.
That in itself is significant of the
fact that the industry is getting set
tied. When the parts makers see fit
to go to the expense of tooling up
their factories for bringing out trac-
tor parts, it stands to reason that
much thought has gone into those
parts and that the tractor makers as
a whole know pretty well along what
lines tractors ought to be built. In
addition it makes possible quality
production and Standardization of the
product. The coordination of the
efforts of the parts makers with the
tractor manufacturers is doing much
to help the tractor find its place in the
automotive industry.
Along with the development of the
tractor will come the perfecting of
implements and machinery that must
necessarily go with it. The tractor
is useless if the implement it pulls is
of inferior construction. Horse
drawn equipment long has passed
that period where it was thought suit
able for tractors. Belt-driven mach
inery, too, has come in for improve
ments. Where crude castings suf-
feed in hte old days, we see the light
er forgings today and open forms Of
driving mechanisms are giving way
to inclosed types, We are witnessing
today general polishing up turnout
the realm Of farm power equipment.
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1920-03-11

/ There will be fewer freaks each
year, as in the automobile period of
development. We are past the ex-
perimental stage in bringing out trac-
tors. 1t no longer is a question of
three or four wheels, or whether the
four-cylinder vertical type of auto
mobile engine or the two-cylinder
horizontal type of engine is going to
dominate the field. There will be
both types and present indications
are they will go along side by side
for some time to come.
The show this year brought home
one idea that necessarily must be &C
cepted by everyone connected in any
way with the tractor industry and
that is that we are going to have
three types of machines probably for
a good long time to come. These
three are the unit type of tractor,
the cawler and the tractor belonging
to what might be called the old school
of designers, wherein two-cylinder
horizontal engine and exposed gear
ing for final drive is used.
Unit Type Popular
At present the unit type Nof ma
chine, embodying a four-cylinder en-
CINE, with unit transmission and in
closed final drive dominates the field
in the number Of designs. The craw-
Ter type of tractor is gaining favor
and this year there were more trac-
tors of this design at Kansas City.
The persistency of the old line max
ers serves to show that their products
still are in demand, although it is
probably quite certain that good sell
ing organizations are doing much to
keep these machines on the market
year after year without material
change in design. Probably another
reason for the persistncy of the hori-
zontal-engine propelled tractor is
that this type of engine seems to be
handling kerosene quite satisfac-
torily.
One Of the greatest strides made
in the industry has been directed to-
wards better bearing layouts. The
motor car and truck industry have
been helpful and the vast amount of
data obtained after years of expert
ment is being adopted body and soul
in the tractor. Plain bearings are
the exception on present day trac-
tors. We have seen in the last few
years the Transformation in bearing
layouts on tractors from crude plain
bearings to anti-friction bearings of
both the roller and ball types.
This would have been brought |
tbout much earlier in the tractor in |
dustry had not the war came on. In
war days it was difficult to get ball
and roller bearings and the tractor
makers had to be content with what
ever the market afforded.
Makeshift steering arrangements
are giving way to more advanced |
types of steering gears patterned
after those used on trucks, using |
worm and gear, worm and travelling
nut, etc., in connection with drag
