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. They would build to suit however if you brought your car to the factory in Albert City. My grandfather looked into having a buick done and bought a 39 JD B instead. You are right in that they were crude but they were better that riding behind a horse and you had electric start. I had one of the V8's. Never really liked it. Not real controlable. Have most of the stuff to put together a late "A" if I ever get the itch again. Fairly easy tractors to restore. 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
