1923 Eagle Model H 20-40 Tractor


 This Eagle "Regular" Model H 20-40 tractor (serial #1200) was manufactured by the Eagle Manufacturing Company in Appleton, Wisconsin. Eagle produced the Model H from 1923 to 1929, making several adjustments to the tractor over those years. As a result of the changes, the Model H acquired different designations: Eagle built the "Regular" Model H from 1923 to 1925, the "Improved" from 1925 to 1928, and the "Special" in 1929. Stuhr Museum's Model H was reportedly purchased in Langham, Saskatchewan, Canada, a town northwest of Saskatoon.
 A maker of ensilage and fodder cutters, feed grinders, cob crushers, gas engines, and many other products, the Eagle Manufacturing Company was one of the first commercially successful gas tractor companies in the U.S., building its first two-cylinder tractors in 1906.
