Twin City 21-32: The Enduring Workhorse of the 1930s

Step back in time and discover the Twin City 21-32, a tractor that defined reliability and power for farmers between 1928 and 1938. This robust machine, built in the heart of America's agricultural machinery hub, Minneapolis, Minnesota, is more than just a piece of history; it's a testament to enduring engineering and practical design, ready to tackle the demands of the farm.

Heart of Power: The Kerosene Engine

Under the hood, the Twin City 21-32 boasts a formidable liquid-cooled, inline 4-cylinder engine. Designed to run on kerosene, this powerhouse delivers a steady 35 hp at a rated 1075 RPM. With a substantial displacement of 381.7 cubic inches (6.3 L) and a bore/stroke of 4.50x6.00 inches (114 x 152 mm), this engine was built for endurance and efficiency, supported by a generous coolant capacity of 36 quarts (34.1 L).

Transmission: Tailored for the Task

Adaptability was key in farming, and the 21-32 offered just that with its dependable gear transmission. Choose between a practical 2-speed gearbox featuring 2 forward and 1 reverse gear, or opt for the more versatile 3-speed option with 3 forward and 1 reverse gear. Both configurations are paired with a reliable dry disc clutch, ensuring smooth power delivery and control in various field conditions.

Built to Last: Sturdy Construction and Dimensions

This standard-tread tractor is a picture of stability, weighing in at a solid 5880 lbs (2667 kg). Its substantial wheelbase of 84 inches (213 cm) contributes to its sure-footed performance. Measuring 137 inches (347 cm) in length and 66 inches (167 cm) in height, the Twin City 21-32 is a commanding presence. It features a two-wheel drive system and manual steering for a direct and responsive operator experience, complemented by an open operator station for clear visibility.

A Legacy of 7,229 Units

From 1928 to 1938, a total of 7,229 Twin City 21-32 tractors rolled off the production line in Minneapolis. This number speaks volumes about its popularity and the trust farmers placed in its capabilities. Its robust steel wheels, with agricultural front tires of 34x5.75 and rear tires of 50x12, were designed to handle the toughest terrain, solidifying its role as a true agricultural workhorse.
