OHIO MADE FARM TRACTORS

In the past there have been several tractors built in Ohio including the Silver King manufactured by the Fate-Root-Heath Company of Plymouth, the Cletrac made by the Cleveland Tractor Company, and the pioneer Huber of Marion, Ohio which was in business for 40 years.


This little tractor was built in Chagrin Falls. It's a 1949 Leader Model D made by the Leader Tractor Mfg. Co. It is owned by Regina Dotson of West Mansfield, Ohio. She has named it "Princess Lea".


The 2,500 pound tractor had a 35 horsepower, 4 cylinder, Hercules engine rated to pull two 12 inch plows. Other features included hydraulic lift, PTO, and a belt pulley. RMB
