Introduction
Eagle Manufacturing D 8-16 Tractor
The Eagle Manufacturing D 8-16 is a standard-tread tractor produced between 1913 and 1916 in Appleton, Wisconsin, USA. It represents early 20th-century agricultural mechanization, designed to provide steady mechanical power for farm operations.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 2-cylinder, 4-valve liquid-cooled engine with a 452 cubic inch (7.4 L) displacement. Operating on kerosene, the engine features a bore and stroke of 6.00 by 8.00 inches and reaches a rated speed of 400 RPM. The engine is initiated via a hand-crank starting system.
Transmission and Power Output
The D 8-16 utilizes a gear-type transmission to manage its power. It provides a claimed drawbar power of 8 hp (6.0 kW) for pulling implements and a belt power of 16 hp (11.9 kW), which was essential for driving stationary farm equipment such as threshers or mills during this era.
Mechanical Configuration
This model is built with a two-wheel drive chassis and manual steering. The operator interface consists of an open station, providing the driver with a direct, unobstructed view of the surrounding field and equipment.
Conclusion
The Eagle Manufacturing D 8-16 is a representative example of early American tractor design. With its focus on belt power and basic mechanical simplicity, it was primarily utilized for light traction work and powering stationary machinery on farms of the 1910s.
