Graham-Bradley

Prior to the outbreak of World War II, the Graham-Bradley tractor emerged from the workshops of the Graham-Paige Motors Corporation, located in Detroit, Michigan. These robust machines were retailed through the expansive Sears-Roebuck catalog, a company that also held ownership of the Bradley manufacturing plant and specialized in agricultural implements. Marketing materials heralded the tractors as "crafted by Graham, outfitted by Bradley, and backed by the Sears guarantee." A single core model was presented to consumers, available in both conventional and row-crop variations to suit different farming needs. Unfortunately, production spanned a mere two years, as Graham transitioned its focus to supporting the war effort. Following the conflict, Graham evolved into Kaiser Motors, eventually gaining control of and becoming synonymous with the iconic Jeep brand before ultimately being acquired by AMC.
