‘I was reading in your magazine an article about an Empire
tractor owned by Ernest L. Pease. I own one just like it. 1948
model 90, serial number 6541, engine number 1146614. My name is
Clifford J. Pease and my tractor runs great. I use mine almost
every day. ‘Clifford Pease’ tractor is pictured in two
views below. He lives at 373 144 Street, Caledonia, Michigan
49316.
Above is a recently completed restoration by Dave P. Lambrecht,
P.O. Box 33, Custer, Montana 59024. Lambrecht is a john Deere
collector, who is about to take on a 1937 BW. ‘I silk screen
all the lettering for an original look and try to do a good job of
paint for a showroom look.’ Lambrecht has been restoring
tractors since 1965, when he started with a 1930 model GP
standard.
This Imperial Super Diesel No. 501J, 8-10 HP was built by A. H.
McDonald, Melbourne, Victoria, in 1923. The engine is compression
ignition with a ‘Brons’ type injector and starts on
kerosene and runs on distillate. Ray Ryan, of R.M.B. 4299,
Numurkah, Victoria 3636, Australia sent the photo, and notes that
we don’t see many Australian engines in GEM!
1935 John Deere G.P.O. Lindeman Crawler, serial number 0-15704.

Washington. This tractor is owned and restored by Lester, Ken and

This picture was submitted by Rusty Brizendine of 3296 Garden
Valley Rd., Roseburg, Oregon 97470, who writes: ‘Enclosed is a
picture of a 1906 Master Workman made by Temple Pump Company.
It’s a two cylinder, 5 HP inverted make and break type engine.
Each cylinder has its own make and break ignitor. I understand this
is a very rare engine.’
Here is a sample of Don Winkler’s fine collection of
perfectly restored Lauson gas engines. Lauson, a local
manufacturer, was a fairly common name in this area, and Don has
built a good reputation for their expert restoration.
Fred Reckelberg, club president, always puts on a great show
with his 65 HP 1924 Case steam traction engine and Meadows portable
saw mill.
Don Bender’s 1916 Avery is a rare and unusual tractor. Here
Don has stopped to shift gears, accomplished by sliding the whole
engine along the frame!
