Mark, Yes, I believe that garin moving equipment was one of their primay products. They were in business in Geneva, IL for many years then moved to Batavia,IL (my hometown) for the last years of their existance as an independent company. At the end they were purchased by another company and all operations were moved out of state. To the best of my knowledge, the aquiring company is still building and selling vacuaters. My Farmall M was owned by the same farmer from it's build date to the present time. It went thru two intermediaries before my purchase, a few weeks ago. I'm guessing that the original owner had the unit installed shortly after his purchase. The only information I have been able to find is a reference a 16mm B&W film produced on 8/21/50 by the National Assoc. of Manufacturers entitled "Power Steering for the Tractor - Mfg. Power Steering for Tractors Dunbar Kapple, Geneva IL." I have not tried to view the film since I believe it requires going to the Smithsonian in Washington, DC
