This is a correct tractor to be a 22-42 Greyhound Thresherman Special. It has Purolator oil system on dash. I have original literature scanned to post.... |

Ok, Please forgive me, but I've never heard of the Grayhound company. At least one involved in Agriculture. Can some one give me a little history? Whats the relation between Grayhound, Banting, and AC? Was this the same Banting company that made cranes? If its a different Banting company, anyone have any info on them?

The Greyhound tractor came from The Banting Mfg Co. of Toledo, Ohio. It never called Greyhound Company. Banting Mfg Co incorporate January 1915 until late 1929. Banting Machine Company began using the name after 1930 as a distributor/warehousing of AC. Later in some years they called Banting Company until it ceased in 1954. Banting passed away in 1954. Banting was a largest AC sales in United States. The two salesmen have worked for Banting moved up to AC corporation management. Banting sold mostly standard AC farm equipments when fewer was a Thresherman's Special tractor. The Special tractor was redone in machine shop in Toledo, Ohio for twice the money for 2475.00 new. I have 100's of Banting archives dating back in 1876. Banting made threshers, tractor, steam traction, sugar beet harvester, hay press and cotton picker. Banting called it "The Greyhound Line Farm Machinery Light Strong Durable". Here is a photo of my 1929 serial number 22499 Greyhound tractor. The same Greyhound radiator cast as a Banting Machine Co. The motor on Banting machine is different than mine. It has oversize bore, factory cab and optional road wheel weights I know at least dozen Greyhound exist and three Banting Machine. I know two older 1925-1926 AC/Greyhound 22-42. The other two 1926 identified a AC but owner doesn't even know it was a Greyhound. No raised letters on radiator casting. Just Greyhound painting on front radiator and inside fender. You can verify my history in another site http://www.smokstak.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52900  Banting-Greyhound mobile Museum will be available to display summer show at National Threshers Association of Wauseon Ohio last weekend of June. |

| There was a company called "Bantam Mfg" that made cranes and hyd excavators. They were later bought out by "Koehring" in about the late 1970's. |

 We are trying to find literature on a Greyhound sugar beet harvester. We have factory style photos of the harvester in the field. The harvester is mounted on a Fordson tractor. The harvester directly elevates beets into the wagon.

I do have two different original literatures Greyhound sugar beet harvester in my collections. I have one that was preprinting instruction manual made of special litho papers was used in given to patent pending. They were in joint with two companies before it completely redesigned then Greyhound named in 1924 and on. I found a glass negatives photos originally taken on October 23 1921 The first sucessfully invented self propelled single row sugar beet harvester was harvest at Delphos, Ohio farm. greyhound did sell pull type and self propelled sugar beet harvester. I also has 9 years of newspaper clippings of greyhound harvester came from Canada. Banting/Greyhound historian and collections Craig |
