Introduction
Keck-Gonnerman 12-24 Tractor
The Keck-Gonnerman 12-24 is a standard-tread agricultural tractor produced between 1917 and 1918 in Mount Vernon, Indiana, USA. Designed for the farming requirements of the early 20th century, this model represents a period of transition in mechanized agriculture.
Engine and Power
The tractor is powered by a Keck-Gonnerman 2-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a displacement of 531 cubic inches (8.7 liters). It operates on kerosene and is started manually using a hand-crank mechanism. The engine delivers a claimed drawbar power of 24 hp (17.9 kW) and belt power of 12 hp (8.9 kW), providing sufficient force to pull a 3-bottom 14-inch plow configuration.
Transmission and Mechanical Layout
The drivetrain features a gear-type transmission providing 2 forward speeds and 1 reverse gear. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via spur gear final drives in a two-wheel drive configuration. The operator station is of an open design, and steering is handled through a manual system, reflecting the standard technical approach of the era.
Dimensions and Construction
Built with a focus on durability, the machine has a total length of 150 inches (381 cm), a width of 78 inches (198 cm), and a height of 96 inches (243 cm). It weighs approximately 6,500 lbs (2,948 kg). The tractor is equipped with 61x12 steel rear wheels, which were typical for traction requirements in fields during that period.
Conclusion
The Keck-Gonnerman 12-24 was a mid-range tractor suited for primary tillage and belt-driven stationary tasks on farms of the late 1910s. Its robust construction and kerosene-fueled powerplant made it a functional tool for the agricultural operations of its time.
