My family recently found out in our shed a Shaw Du-all tractor. The plate on it says thats its a HY8, but I have not been able to find out much about this tractor. Is this worth anything? Any information on it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! ~Kate

I found the HY8 in my Shaw factory papers. It's a pre-WWII 8 horse tractor.

There are many Shaw collectors out there. I've got two - not sure if that's enough to qualify as a collector though. I was told that there is a Shaw tractor meet and celebration every year in Galesburg. I was invited last year, but that's too long a haul for me in New York. You didn't mention if your's is a four wheel tractor, two-wheel tractor, rider mower, or something else? Shaw also made conversion kits to make tractors out of Ford Model Ts and maybe As. I've got an R8 and a R12T, both four wheel tractors, one with a one cylinder Briggs engine and the other with a two cylinder Wisconsin. I also have about 3/4 of a D4T four wheeler.

Kate, about halfway down on the left side is the "Galleries" section. There are at least a couple of "Shaw" tractors on there. Once at the gallery just do a search for Shaw. I've given a link to one of them.

You can also search for "Shaw" at the top right of the page you are on. It will take you to topics about Shaw tractors.

Galesburg, Kansas - Neosho County (http://www.lasr.net/leisure/kansas/neosho/galesburg.html)
An historical tidbit that some "seasoned farmers" may recognize recalls Galesburg's tie to a national agricultural implement - the Du-All Tractor. In 1908, Stanley Shaw commenced manufacturing "motor bicycles" in this small Neosho County town. Shaw's genius and rare mechanical ability allowed him to combine the many components needed to create a motorized bicycle. The Shaw Bike thrilled and amazed people who previously had to depend on horses for personal transport.

In the 1920s when technology upstaged the Shaw Bike, Stanley came up with a concept of a small multipurpose farm tractor he called the Du-All. Various concepts of the original Du-All we marketed until the plant was sold to the Bush-Hog corporation in 1961. Bush-Hog expanded the work force and used the facility to manufacture rotary mowers and tillage equipment. The Du-Alls were the workhorse of the small farms and were shipped as far as the state of Vermont, where a collector currently runs a newsletter on restoring old Du-Alls.

The site where Shaw built farm tractors is now the location of a large metal fabrication plant. Men are still making history with steel in Galesburg.
