Allwork

The Electric Wheel Company of Quincy, Illinois was founded in 1890 to build steel wheels for agricultural machinery. They built their first tractor in 1904, but it was several years before they had a tractor on the market - a heavyweight machine known as the Model O "Quincy" All-Purpose Tractor. The "Allwork" series of tractors, for which the company is best known, appeared in 1915. These had four-cylinder cross-mounted engines and were available in a range of different sizes, from the 14-29 Allwork Light to the big 22-40 tractor. In 1920 the company produced a tractor with an in-line engine for use in California's orchards, the so-called Allwork II. This was initially rated as a 12-25, but later uprated to a 14-28. Allwork tractors were also sold in Canada through Geo. White & Sons of London, Ontario.
