Theiman's were manufactured about 15 miles from me. WW II steel shortages shut tractor production down. They were realy built for the model A ford car drive train. They listed in their brochure that they could be built for the Model A, 1929 Chevrolet, Dodge four and the V8 ford.

Only five or six casting's and a frame and just about every thing else is car parts or something that can be made in a blacksmith shop. JM2CW jt
