[AT] GO Tractor Manufacturing

[jahaze at aol.com]

A few months ago, there was a picture of a GO tractor on the YT mag website, you can do a search on that site and find it.? It's a nice tractor in original condition owned by someone from SD.? I don't know if it's the one your looking for, but it a pretty neat tractor anyway.

Enjoy, Joe

Ken, there is a small section on it in Wendel's book Encyclopedia of 
American Farm tractors. It was built by the General Ordnance Co of Cedar 
Rapids Iowa in the early 20s. They bought out the Denning Tractor co. It 
shows them making a 14-28 and a 12-22. Wendel claims the 14-28 used a 
Waukesha but it doesn't say what the 12-22 used. They were just a short 
lived deal. I know I've seen ads for them in some of my old magazines.
