Eagle Manufacturing Company
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eagle Manufacturing Company of Appleton, Wisconsin first entered the farm equipment market in 1906 with a 32 horsepower tractor. They returned to the marketplace several years later, in 1929 offering a 20-35 Model E. Based on a two-cylinder traction engine design, the engine measured 8.00x9.00 inches in bore and stroke. A truly massive affair, it was rated at 20 drawbar horsepower and 35 belt-pulley horsepower. Eagle also built it's Model H alongside the Model E from 1926-1930. With an identical 8.00 inch bore to the Model E, but a 1.00 inch longer stroke at 10.00 inches, the Model H created a brawny 40 horsepower at the drawbar. Eagle was one of the first tractor manufacturers to use a 6 cylinder engine. It switched from 2 cylinders to 6 cylinders in 1930.[1] Eagle built tractors from 1906, but halted production during World War II never to start it's assembly lines again.[2][3]
