Let's talk about the Agrimotor Tractor Company out of Wichita, Kansas and their Mid-West 9-18 tractor!

"Resembling a cross between a Waterloo Boy and a Hart· Parr, the Mid-West 9-18 tractor was listed in 1921. It used a Gile two-cylinder 5 x 6½ inch motor. The opposed cylinders gave the engine inherent balance for a smooth running outfit. Kingston carburetor, Bennett air cleaner, and Atwater-Kent ignition system were all standard equipment. Agrimotor remained in the directory listings through 1924."
