That would be a Bullock Creeping Grip tractor they merged with Franklin Felxable Tractor Co. and became Franklin-Bulloch Tractor Co.

Interesting that this would come up now as last Sunday, I got a call from a guy that just bought a bunch of Patent and Company records on the Bulloch at an Auction. Seems they were manufactured in Wisconsin. He is looking for more info on the Bulloch as he hadn't had any luck doing Google searches.

The Bullock I have is apparently later than the one pictured, but many things look the same. On mine the sprockets and the front idlers are identical except for shafts. Mine has a four cylinder Waukashaw with the engine date of 1919. The flywheel end of the engine is to the front of the tractor with a large bevel gear housing with steering clutches to each side. There must have been a long pintel or roller chain clear to the rear to drive the sprockets. The crank is under the seat. I don't have the tracks or three roller bogey or the channels that pivot on a large thru shaft which carries both complete track assemblies. I need to find someone with parts to sell or to copy. Would like to see it put together, it is to unusual to lose. Would sell or trade what I have to someone with the required parts.

Sounds like you have the Bullock Babt Creeper They were made in Davenport Iowa, Greenville Ohio and Chicago. They started in 1911 Bullock applied for patents in 1915. Creeping Grip was first made by Western Impliment&MotorCo. til 1913 when they went broke taken over by H.E.Bullock in 1920 they merged with Frnklin Baby Creeper,12-20,20-30,30-40,45-60 & 55-75

Considering the time period of the Bullock tractor, how did it ever get by the Lombard patents? The Lombard tracks were a bone of contention up to the time that they were needed for tank tracks in WWI. Any lawyers in our group?

Lombard never bothered anybody over patents only 2 Companies ever fought over the Lomard patent and that was Holt and Best
