Thanks for any information.

If you have access to a fair public library these're also mentioned in the Standard Catalog of Farm Tractors, I&T's Vol 1 and Wendels Ency'p'dia of Am'can Farm tractors...
As usual, these reference books don't exactly agree, and/or the history may be tangled (not unusual!!).
In 1917? Killen-Strait apparently became Killen-Walsh Co. of Appleton, WI. The Strait is sometimes confused with the Strite out of Minn MN. If you don't have access to those ref's I can email what I have in my notes, but I'm sure they're out of chronological order.

Killen Strait tractors were made between 1913 and 1917. Originally called Straight's tractor. 2 models were built. first was a 30-50 model and then a 15-30 model. Was a tracked tractor with 2 main rear driving tracks and a single front steering track.
Company was also known as Killen_Walsh Mfg. Co.... Gene
