emptypockets: Information I was able to find is a bit fuzzy at best. Seems as though this company had it's beginnings at Cleveland Ohio in 1902. Their first tractor was called the Wallis Bear. They produced some quite large tractors 20-50 and 40-80 to name a couple. Then a Wallis Cub, doesn't say size of that one. In 1919 Wallis merged with J.I. Case Plow Works. This changed little as both companies were owned by the same interests. That being the J.I. Case Threshing Machine Company. They sold it to Massey Harris around 1928, with the sale of J.I. Case Plow Works to Massey. To quote you a sentence from Wendel's Encylopedia of American Farm Tractors, "Finally, M-H got into the tractor business in 1928 with their purchase of J.I. Case Plow Works of Racine
Wisconsin. These Wallis tractors became the basis of the first Massey Pacemaker tractors. I can't find anything on numbers. I can tell you the Wallis tractors built by both Case and Massey have a very strong resembelance to one another. The Wallis name stayed on M-H tractors through most of the 30s. I expect there are serial and production numbers in the YT Reasearch and Info section on left of screen.
