Linn Tractor model numbers EXAMPLE-----6H-33-DUR
(as I understand it)
The first number in a Linn tractor model number is the number of cylinders.
4 = 4 cylinder
6 = 6 cylinder
The following letter designates engine make.
H = Hercules
W = Waukesha
C = Cummins
The two numbers in the middle are the year of manufacture. This may not always coincide with the model year of the tractor. Similar to buying a 2009 pick up truck in September of 2008.
The above example was built in 1933.
The letters at the end designate the type of tractor and other features.
D = Dump body
P = Platform body
B = Ballast box
E = Log bunks
U = Underbody hydraulic hoist for dump
F = 3 way dump body (also could mean farm tractor for a few early models)
R = Reversing transmission
S = Factory rebuilt tractor
The Example above is a 6 cyl. Hercules powered 1933 with a dump body that has a underbody hoist and reversing transmission.

Linn tractors used in tandem to push through drifts in upstate new York.
As a tandem operation they could bust through any snowdrift.
This is a promotional photo for Champion snowplow in 1920.
Photo taken near Oneonta N.Y.

12' Linn-Frink V-plow with Double 16' wings
Owned and Restored by Daryl Gushee, New Gloucester, Maine
Photo taken at the Syracuse, N.Y. ATHS show
Original owner: Town of Auburn, Maine
Frink rated their wings by the longest dimension, the diagonal from leading point to the tip. The wings on this Linn are 16', as advertised, by that measurement. Ferrology and I confirmed this. Bshoesey

Supposedly donated to a electric utility museum up in Potsdam, NY but the Mac Noble place in Redfield (Harvestors Mill Rd) has been sold and it must be moved, they are talking it might get junked, I stuck my neck out and told Portner I would pay to have it moved first (the daughters still have to move Noble's old 1920's Brockway and 1950ish Ford tractor/forklift out as well). Portner has the 6 cyl. chassis and possibly 6 cyl Waukesha engine that the Byers Bearcat unit sat on, Noble got the Byers, and the remains had gone to Wendel Still, where Portner got them (the tracks were used for reinforcement in a barn floor). It also has the shovel front laying there I believe. If someone else is interested in a neat old Byers crane (the whole unit, it's mounted on a 1946 Chevy truck I believe) please call up Portner at 315-336-4242, if I buy it and they don't want it at the Constableville engine show I will have to take it to Portner's anyways. (My father says I should buy a daily driver truck first).

Pretty accurate quotes of sources like the Oneonta newspaper, some of it is downright comical, no mention of the NSA units my father and others were waiting for in AK which were held up by the IAM strike, such strikes endangering the war effort is what made people suspect communist sympathies within the organized labor movement. Nothing I wrote is cited as a source, just a few sources that consulted me, which is how it usually goes. I was told the coachbuilt site is the only place online that discusses Linn tractors at all. |
