Lindeman – Serial Numbers

Lindeman – Serial Numbers

First and last serial numbers also the numbers of the
Lindeman BO Crawlers that we have located.

Chassis Shipped
Note: If you notice “BO 326109” the very first Lindeman is not shown and was shipped on May 2, 1936 and wasn’t until a year later that more chassis were ordered also note there were no chassis shipped in 1942. The war was going and the government stopped all tractor manufacturing. Jesse had to go to the war board and get permission for JD to make the chassis so he could build the Lindeman Crawlers to help farm and grow food for the troops. JD could not start the production line for a small amount so LPE Co. had to order 500 chassis. JD would build all 500 then ship as needed.  See freeze order below.

    previous owner of my Lindeman was Al Joe Sterneker. A number of years but
    I don’t know how many. He had a Cunningham, Ks. address.
