[AT] Heider Tractor

[Gene Dotson]

    Herb;
    Yes, there are still a few of them around. Have seen 3 or 4 in shows 
this past year. They usually show up at shows featuring Case tractors.
    Heider was sold to Rock Island Plow Co. and renamed Rock Island. Rock 
Island was then bought by the J.I. Case Plow Co. for the manufacturing 
facilities. and the tractor was dropped after Case designed their own from 
other tractor purchases.
    The Rock island plant remained in use till all tractor production was 
moved to Racine in 1963.
