Keck-Gonnerman 12-24: A Robust Workhorse from 1917!

Step back in time with the Keck-Gonnerman 12-24, a true testament to early 20th-century agricultural engineering. Manufactured between 1917 and 1918, this tractor is more than just a machine; it's a piece of history ready to tackle the toughest farm jobs with its enduring power and solid construction.

Heart of the Beast: The Kerosene Engine

At its core, the Keck-Gonnerman 12-24 is powered by a robust 2-cylinder liquid-cooled kerosene engine. With a substantial displacement of 531 cubic inches (8.7 L) and a convenient hand-crank starter, this engine was built for reliability and sustained performance in demanding agricultural environments. It produced a claimed 24 horsepower at the drawbar and 12 horsepower at the belt, making it a versatile powerhouse.

Built for Work: Transmission and Drivetrain

This tractor features a straightforward gear transmission offering 2 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, allowing farmers to select the optimal speed for various tasks. The final drives utilize a durable spur gear system, ensuring efficient power transfer to the rear wheels. Combined with its two-wheel drive configuration and manual steering, the Keck-Gonnerman 12-24 provides a direct and responsive connection to the land.

Ready to Plow: Power and Capability

Don't let its vintage charm fool you; the 12-24 is a capable machine. With a drawbar horsepower of 24 hp (17.9 kW), it was designed to pull three 14-inch plows, a significant feat for its era. This tractor was engineered to get the job done, offering the muscle needed for primary tillage operations.

Solid Construction: Dimensions and Weight

The Keck-Gonnerman 12-24 is built on a solid foundation, measuring 150 inches (381 cm) in length and 78 inches (198 cm) in width. Its imposing height of 96 inches (243 cm) and a substantial weight of 6500 lbs (2948 kg) speak to its robust construction and stability in the field. The rear agricultural tires are sized at 61x12, equipped with steel for maximum durability.
