| TEXT | Two men, Record and Briggs, founded the Minneapolis Steel and Machinery Company with a capitalization of about one-half million dollars. Merging with Minneapolis Steel and Machinery Company was The Twin City Iron Works Company. By 1902, the newly formed company was set to manufacture bridges, tanks, steam engines, and similar contract manufacturing for other companies. The factory was located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Within a few years, Minneapolis Steel and Machinery Company contracted to build the 30-60 Case tractor. Reeves and Company of Columbia, Ind., was also to contract with Minneapolis Steel and Machinery Company. The agreement was to build a 13 HP horizontal two-cylinder steam engine. One of the largest orders was from the Bull Tractor Company, also of Minneapolis. Minneapolis Steel and Machinery built their tractor until 1917, when the contract was cancelled. The agreement called for 4,600 Bull tractors. Minneapolis Steel and Machinery began building their own tractor about 1911. Two years later, they offered the Twin-City 60-90 gas tractor. It was the largest and most powerful gasoline powered tractor in the United States for almost seven years, or from 1913 until 1920. The tractor weighed more than 28,000 lbs. and sold for about $6,000. The tractor was powered by a six-cylinder engine with a 7 1/4- by 9-inch bore and stroke with a rated 535 RPM. One of the features of this tractor was that it was cranked from the operator's platform at the rear of the tractor. Likewise, it was guaranteed to produce its rated power on both the drawbar and belt. The radiator capacity was 116 gallons. After 1929, when the company became Minneapolis-Moline Power Company, it continued to be identified as a company manufacturing large tractors. |
