Here's some info from a book I have. Central Tractor Company first appeared in the 1921 directory listings. The original product was the Centaur Garden Tractor. In 1928 the name was changed to Centaur Tractor Corp. The tractor shown in the book weighed 1590 pounds and sold for $515.00. Known as the 6-10 "G", it used a LeRoi four cyl. Tractors such as these found their greatest application in orchards and truck farms. One of Centaur's last models was the KV[Klear Veiw} 22, weighing 2200 pounds.this outfit was available with steel wheels or low pressure plneumatic tires. The LeRoi engine was complemented with an Auto-Lite starter, Zenith Carb, and Eisemann magneto. A standard automotive transmission terminated in roller chain final drives. This company was in Greenwich, Ohio.
