WHX?? 48,815 #7 Posted September 28, 2021 Elmer Ponds brother.... Harold worked/owned for Shaw/Speedex. When Elmer went on his own circa 19?? ..I'd have to look that one up....He took a few of Harold's/Speedex ideas. Love was not lost between Harold and Elmer as Harold moved to Iowa and became a corn farmer. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Ranger 10,968 #9 Posted September 29, 2021 Harold and Elmer had a falling out over making tractors and did not speak to each other for over fifty years - dying not having reconciled! Mike Martino recounts this fact in his Wheel Horse book 📕 " Straight from the Horses Mouth". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,815 #11 Posted September 29, 2021 It is a good read Greg but not 225 good. Most of us that have a copy paid around 50. They do crop up here in classifieds reasonable. Some of the addicts here have all three editions! Sometimes those evilbay sellers must think us collectors/restorers are complete idiots not the partial idiots we are! 1 hour ago, Lane Ranger said: Harold and Elmer had a falling out over making tractors and did not speak to each other for over fifty years Yeah that's what I meant Lane. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
