I'm in the process of restoring a 1959 D-17 black bar grill diesel grove tractor. The price books lists the grove equipment as being shipped F.O.B. Owosso Michigian. Was there a manufacturer of grove and orchard fenders and shields in Owosso who sold to most of the tractor manufacturers?

My guess would be that it was Gladden-Haas Manufacturing, they built forklift conversions, rear platforms, and some other miscellaneous orchard equipment. They went out of business in the late seventies, if I recall correctly.
