Just wanted to give everyone an update.
So the good news is that I found out that A&G Mercury owns what remains of the Mercury Industrial Truck tow tractor product line. Furthermore, I was able to contact them and while they didn't have anything useful on the maintenance documentation front, they were able to give me some information on the serial numbers for both our tugs. Now, I write "serial numbers" because apparently something strange occurred. At some point during tug #3's lifetime, a different data plate was attached to it. This was revealed when the contact at A&G Mercury told me that the tug the data plate was attached to looked nothing like what the model number says it should. (As a matter of fact, apparently all their 4xx series tugs look roughly the same - meaning that tug #3 should look nearly identical to tug #2.)
According to the information they have on hand, tug #2, serial number 64077 was sold to "Goodyear Atomic Corp." of "Piketon, Ohio".
Whatever the original serial number 8785 was, it was sold to the "United States Navy Department".
So, tug #3 is now completely unidentified. In doing a quick online search, I came across a post that describes the restoration of a tug that looks very similar to ours. That tug was made by Clark, so I have sent the company an e-mail to see if they can identify it.
Once again, any help or information would be appreciated.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
