Early tracked vehicles



Fowler traction engine, tracks both ends. date unknown.


Built by Charles Stratton of Moscow, Pennsylvania, 1893


Western Implement and Motor Co. Creeping Grip tractor. 1913


Bullock Lombard artillery tractor WW1.  Lombard was out of Waterville Maine, Bullock appears to have been out of Davenport Iowa.  I'm not sure of the connection. 
Lombard had registered a patent on the track system in 1901. The machines were all steam powered, the first gasoline version was built in 1908.
