The Empire Tractor Club Owners
Listed below is a numerical listing of Empire Tractors that have been located from around the world in the last few years. The numbers listed are taken from the brass tag located on the dash in front of the steering wheel of each Empire. The engine number on the dash tag should match the number on the Willys motor unless a new engine has been installed. Most tractors, unless real early or real late, show both a model #88 and #90 on the dash tag. The manufacturing date shown does not, in most cases, correspond to the serial number. What this says is hard to determine. The earliest Empire known to exist is # 4 owned by Mr. Stan Jerling who resides in South Africa. The latest tractor known at this time is #6801, which appears to be a proto-type unit being built on 11-7-47 and owned by Mr. Robert Brell.
