  Ted Adams (me) giving a test run on a restored Lindeman the only BI Lindeman Crawler built.  The BI was built to try for a contract with the military.  Sadly they were unsuccessful in getting the contract. I was privileged that Bob Smythe let me take it for a run.

Lindeman Proto-Type GPO
Wheel Tractor


A real need for the Yakima area was a low to the ground tractor like the Cletrac to work in the orchards, so they took a John Deere GP Standard and modified it to work.
John Deere took notice and eventually it became their GPO Model tractor.
