1927 Huber Super Four 20-40 Tractor

 This Huber tractor (engine #273039 and chassis #8571) was built by the Huber Manufacturing Company in Marion, Ohio. The Huber company was started by Edward Huber, the son of wagon maker, who was born in Dearborn, Indiana. Eventually settling in Marion, Ohio, Huber patented a hay rake in 1865 with a design much like the design of the "flop over" rake here in Stuhr's exhibit. He went on to develop other tools for the hay industry, and his company would continue to develop a wide variety of agricultural tools after his death in 1904. If you get to Marion, Ohio, you might stop at the Huber Machinery Museum which houses a wide assortment of items from the Huber company.
 The Huber tractor that you see here was reportedly used near Lincoln, Nebraska. It was made with a 4 cylinder engine and a 5 1/8" x 6 1/2" bore and stroke, and was rated at 1100 RPM. It weighs about 9,336 pounds.
