Introduction
Eagle Manufacturing D 16-30 Standard-Tread Tractor
The Eagle Manufacturing D 16-30 is a standard-tread agricultural tractor produced between 1913 and 1916 in Appleton, Wisconsin, USA. This two-wheel drive machine represents the early era of motorized farming, designed for primary tillage and stationary belt work.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by an Eagle Manufacturing 2-cylinder, 4-valve engine with a displacement of 804 cubic inches (13.2 liters). It utilizes a liquid-cooling system and operates on kerosene, managed by a Linga carburetor. The engine is rated at 425 RPM and requires a manual hand-crank to start. In terms of performance, the D 16-30 provides 16 drawbar horsepower and 30 belt horsepower, allowing it to pull a 4-5 bottom 14-inch plow configuration.
Transmission and Mechanical Layout
The drivetrain features a gear-type transmission offering two forward speeds and one reverse gear. Power is delivered to the ground through spur gear final drives. The operator controls the machine via a manual steering system from an open operator station. The tractor is configured as a two-wheel drive unit, utilizing 52x12 steel wheels for traction in field conditions.
Dimensions and Specifications
The D 16-30 measures 141 inches (358 cm) in length, 70 inches (177 cm) in width, and stands 78 inches (198 cm) high. Its bore and stroke dimensions are 8.00 by 8.00 inches (203 x 203 mm), reflecting the large-displacement, low-speed engine architecture common to tractors of this period.
Conclusion
With its significant displacement and belt-power capacity, the Eagle Manufacturing D 16-30 was engineered for heavy-duty field work and powering stationary machinery. It remains a representative example of early 20th-century standard-tread tractor design.
