Bob M said: (quoted from post at 00:12:46 12/20/08) GM made tractors for a few years in the late teens/early 1920's with their acquisition of Samson Tractor Co. Samson tractors were mostly "odd balls" however. Examples:
Samson Iron Horse This had no seat or steering wheel - instead the driver walked behind/controlled it via reins, ala a horse.
The "Sieve Grip" - a more conventional tractor but with odd, open steel tread wheels that somewhat resembled sieves.
The Samson name (and tractors) was discontinued by GM in 1922 or '23.
While not complete tractors, in the 50's thru early 70's GM provided Detroit diesel engines for Oliver (99 GM, 1900 and 1950 GM), Case (371), John Deere (435, 8010), M-F (55?), Wagner (WA-2) and I'm sure several others.
