We are looking for anyone with infomation on the Elgin Tractor. We have one built in 1913, but would like to talk to anyone having info on them and, or owning one. We have not found another.
 
G.H. Wendel's "Standard Catalog of Farm Tractors", States the Elgintractor was originally a Waite tractor from 1913 to 1916. In 1916 Waite was reorganized as Elgin Tractor in Elgin, Illinois and in 1917 was moved to Piqua, Ohio and ceased production in 1920.

Elgin was first produced as a 9-18 Hp tractor and rerated to 10-20 and later as a 12-25 Hp tractor.

Company used Buda,Rutenber and Erd engines.

If your tractor has the Elgin name, it was built between 1916 and 1920.

The tractor ref books often have different info, not unusual when looking for 50-80 year old data...
The original Waite (about 1913-1916) had a Wauk 31/2x51/4 (per I&T's 1916-25 history; specs but no power rating);
The Elgin 9-18 a Buda 33/4x51/8;
The Elgin 10-20, (oddly listed as a 17-27 by I&T) the Rutenbur 41/8x51/2. Per most references, Rutenburs were pretty rare in tractors; don't know much about other early gasoline engined Ag eqpmt.
the Elgin 12-25, possibly AKA the "New Elgin", the Erd 4x6.
Std Cat has no real spec info on Waite; the Ency's already gone back to library.
We'd all greatly appreciate knowing what info you have re' yours being a 1913 Elgin, if any painting is left which company name/adds is shown and which engine you have. Many thxx!! Bud
 
Here is a picture of one on Smokstak. Don't know what more info there is on this one.
