They made stationary and marine engines before they built tractors. They had a marketing push to install their engines in tractors of that era, such as F-30's, and produced a conversion kit to install a diesel engine in an "M". I have an F-30 with a Sheppard engine. Their website has a history section for both tractors and engines. I believe it is now called "RH Sheppard Company" and they make power steering parts for other manufacturers. Their website has a neat, but brief, history of the company. It is my understanding their tractors were very innovative and well built, but expensive.
