[AT] 1949 Leroi tractor with loader for sale

[charlie hill]

Well you might be on to something there.  The early B's had Waukesha engines 
in them.   I've got several books on AC history.  I don't remember anything 
about Leroi but that doesn't mean there is no connection.  I'll look again 
in the books and see what I find.

I'm not real sure what the connection is, Charlie. I may even have the
model wrong. I've been told by more than one person that one of the A/C
engines are close to the same. Seems like the front main bearing was the
only thing different. On the tractair website he mentions a deal between
Leroi and A/C to build engines for each other. Some of the history info
there was mine but I don't know where he got that from. I know the
engine side of Leroi went to Waukesha when they sold out. I only live
about 4 miles from the old Centaur factory and have been chasing them
for over 32 years. I'm still turning up stuff I've never seen before so
I doubt I'll ever get it all figured out. Doug T
