The Albaugh-Dover Co. was an American manufacturer of farm implements, tractors, and automobiles based in Chicago, Illinois.
Automobiles
The Aldo was a simply-constructed, high-wheeled, two-passenger motor buggy sold from 1910 until early 1911.[1] It featured an air-cooled, opposed two-cylinder engine[2] with 12 hp (N.A.C.C. rating) of Script error: No such module "convert". displacement.[3] The vehicle used a planetary transmission with double chain drive, and tiller steering.[2] Wheelbase measured Script error: No such module "convert"., and the large carriage wheels 36 × 1.5 in. It had a right hand drive configuration.[3]
The price was $395, but very few were sold.[1] Albaugh-Dover then concentrated on their farm implement (cream separators)[1][4] and gear cutting[1] business.
Tractors
In December 1917, the company moved into the production of tractors by buying the ailing Kennell-Colwell Co. of Norfolk, Nebraska.[5] It was renamed the Square Turn Tractor Company and operated as a subsidiary. The tractor was sold as the Albaugh-Dover "Square Turn" from Chicago.[5][6]
It was a curious looking vehicle in a motorized tricycle layout. Its four-cylinder engine was mounted on a rear axle with large iron wheels. The driver sat behind a small, steerable iron front wheel, and directly in front of the grille.[6] The engine was a Climax[5] Model K with a bore of Script error: No such module "convert". and a stroke of Script error: No such module "convert"., resulting in a displacement of Script error: No such module "convert"..[7] Power output measured 18 hp at the draw bar and 35 hp on the pulley. This engine ran on either gasoline or kerosene.[6]
The transmission was called Giant Grip Drive, with "no clutch to slip" and "no gear to strip".[6] This indicates a friction drive.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Base price was $1,875, which included an Oliver plow. The complete vehicle weight was Script error: No such module "convert"..[5] Albaugh-Dover mentioned that the tractor could be used by only one operator.[6]
In 1924, Albaugh-Dover was bought out by a group of former shareholders. After investing $200,000, it was reorganized as the Albaugh-Dover Manufacturing Company, and returned solely to farm implement production and gear cutting.[1] The Square Turn Tractor Company was sold by sheriff's order in 1925.[5]
