That is the only advertising Dale has found for the Unit. The ad makes mention of a catalog, but neither of us have found anyone who has one. It is only listed under the index of manufacturers in C.H. Wendel's book, American Gasoline Engines. Dale doesn't know of any other Unit motors, and hasn't had much luck finding information about the company. If any of you have any information on Unit engines and/or literature, and would like to share it, contact me at Farm Collector Magazine, 1503 SW 42nd Street, Topeka, KS 66609; or Dale Wetzel, RR 1, Box 33, Offerle, Kan., 67563.

The last word: In September's 'Vintage Iron,' we were looking for information on an old tractor rear end found on a farm in southeast Kansas. Gary Oechsner, Fond du Lac, Wis., called to identify the parts as coming from a National-GO tractor. He said that photographs of the parts matched illustrations in a company catalog he has. Thanks for the help, Gary!

Do you have a photo of a rare find, or a mystery piece? Send it to Wayne Walker Jr. at Farm Collector, 1503 SW 42nd Street, Topeka, Kan., 66609, and we'll include it in an upcoming 'Vintage Iron' column. All photos submitted will be returned. A 25-year collector, Wayne Walker is the marketing director and a columnist for Farm Collector. FC
