My Elec-Traks - The New Idea Models


G.E. convinced the New Idea Company of Coldwater, OH to allow them to run a line of OEM tractors for them at the same time G.E. would continue to run their own tractors down the assembly line. They sported the New Idea signature two-toned "Bittersweet" and "Buff" color scheme. All together, only 3,168 total New Idea Tractors of all models were produced. Surprisedly, many must still be around as you can find them pretty readily. Most of these pictures here are not my personal tractors but are here for reference purposes for now until I get time for another photo shoot!
