It's not a tractor company, but the Cadillac Motor Car Company built M24 light tanks, supplied countless engines for other vehicles, and made artillery elivating mechanisms for all types of weapons. ( Geared and hydraulic mechanisms ) When I started at Cadillac in the 70's, a lot of toolroom maintenance equipment still had war production board tags, in addition to the usual GM asset tags. The plant also did a lot of tooling and stamping work for other war stuff. No cars were built from 1942 - 1945. 1946 was the 1st year of production after the war. No 45's. The cars were almost excactly like the 41/42 model years. Everything came to a halt to beat the enemy. My grandfather and others told of working 20 + hours, sleeping on the floor, getting up and running machines for
another double shift, for weeks on end. But in the end, they all pulled together and won!!
