I think just about every tractor collector would love to add a shaw into the mix IDK, there are at least 3 or more "turquoise" Panzers and that many more Speedex sitting either in the open or half a$$ shed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't say ever came across any R9 in my travels, didn't know they made one. The R9 model was a very short lived. From what I've read, Shaw only made a total of (51) R9 models before replacing it with the more common 2 cylinder powered R12T. I currently know of only 3 others. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love my panzers but compared to that shaw they are common. Cool part about this topic is that shaw model is "rarer" than a senior Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Ranger 10,968 #32 Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) Shaw Du-Al, R-8 Model tractor. I took these piuctures several years ago at a very nice small tractor show held in Owen County, Indiana near the Town of Gosport, Indiana. I only attended one year but it was a nice show. The Shw Du-Al is an inportant tractor in the history of Wheel Horse as Harold Pond, Elmer Pond's older brother worked at Shw-Du -Al in Galesburg, Kansas before starting Speed-Ex Tractor in Alliance and laterr Ravinnia, Oho. Elmer worked for Harold assembling and selling Speed-Ex Tractors. However, around 1946 or 1947 Elmer and son Cecil decided that they wanted to improve upon the Speed-Ex Tractor and make their own two wheel garden tractor. Harold was not happy aboput that decision and as a result did not speak to Elmer or Cecil ever again. But the Shw-Du-Al is an interesting tractor. The R-8 is one of the finest and rarest examples and the one shown is very original. https://www.farmcollector.com/tractors/shaw-du-all-good-bargain Edited March 13, 2021 by Lane Ranger 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
