The Parrett Tractor Co. was founded by Dent and Henry Parrett in 1913 at Chicago, Illinois. Parrett tractors featured a cross-mounted engine and could be distinguished by their large front wheels and sideways-mounted radiator. The first successful production model was the 10-20, which appeared in 1915, and this was redesigned to become the 12-25 Model E and Model H tractors. A more powerful model, the 15-30 Model K, was also offered. In 1918 the Canadian Massey-Harris company transferred the Parrett plant to Weston, Ontario, where the Parrett 12-25 became the Massey-Harris No.1 and No.2.
