I have an old horse drawn one row potato planted with "Champion Hammond Ill" painted on both sides of the potatoe hopper. Does anyone know anything about this company. I know there was a "Champion" that was part of the original International Harvester Co., is this the same one?

it shouldn't read hammond ill, but IND. This was a small independent mfg. co. that did a good job competeing with the hoovers and harvester companies. After 1900 it was called the OK Champion Co., with no connection to IH. They're still in business, building vac trucks and such, no ag stuff, sold ag division to new holland i think. I collect lake county Ind. stuff to take to our tractor show. Would your planter be for sale?

I just looked through potato planters and diggers in book 150 Years of IH. No mention of the name Champion. This book did omit some items.

I went to chapter on Champion Co. that became part of IH. Their main product line seems to be binders and mowers. I will have a closer look later, if I find anything I will repost.
