They were located in Elwood IL. (Joliet area) Actually they were a small welding shop. I believe Dick Pettigrew was the primary Owner, Had the money, retired farmer if I remember correctly, Don Jones was the brains, retired Cat eng. They made axles to fit everything from M's to 560's, and were the OEM supplier during the late '80's on the 86 series. I have pictures of their axles and ALL their sales brochures & manuals. Last thing I heard was they closed up shop about 5-10 yrs ago. IH also offered the Am. Coleman axle during the X06 series. Elwood used a DANA axle, made their own driveshafts, mounting brakets and gearboxes, mostly from purchased components. I even sent them a pair of wheels & tires to make a H186 Hi-Clear 4WD. It had 16.9X38's on the frt and 18.8X38's on the back. The frt wheels were the dual wheels for a 1586. They played with the axle ratio and driven gear ratio in their gearbox to get it to work. Don't look for the tractor, they took the axle off, sent the tractor back to the Hinsdale proving grounds & returned the tires to me at FARMALL. They were one of the suppliers I dealt with supplying parts to FARMALL.
