The guy probably doesn't even realize what he has.  I think just about every tractor collector would love to add a shaw into the mix

IDK, there are at least 3 or more "turquoise" Panzers and that many more Speedex sitting either in the open or half a$$ shed.

It did look larger then the AEN in the R8 and thats why was kinda thinking a HY8 but slightly different also.  I can't say ever came across any R9 in my travels, didn't know they made one.

 

The R9 model was a very short lived. From what I've read, Shaw only made a total of (51) R9 models before replacing it with the more common 2 cylinder powered R12T. I currently know of only 3 others.

I love my panzers but compared to that shaw they are common.  Cool part about this topic is that shaw model is "rarer" than a senior

I second this. Ive been lucky enough to spend some tine around a few shaw tractors and they are alot of fun and very unique in there own manner.

Shaw Du-Al, R-8  Model tractor.

 

I took these piuctures several years ago at a very nice small tractor show held in Owen County, Indiana near the Town of Gosport, Indiana.  I only attended one year but it was a nice show.

 

The Shw Du-Al  is an inportant tractor in the history of Wheel Horse as Harold Pond, Elmer Pond's older brother worked at Shw-Du -Al in Galesburg, Kansas before starting Speed-Ex Tractor in Alliance and laterr Ravinnia, Oho.  Elmer worked for Harold assembling and selling Speed-Ex Tractors.   However, around 1946 or 1947 Elmer and son Cecil decided that they wanted to improve upon the Speed-Ex Tractor and make their own two wheel garden tractor.  Harold was not happy aboput that decision and as a result did not speak to Elmer or Cecil ever again.

 

But the Shw-Du-Al is an interesting tractor.  The R-8  is one of the finest and rarest examples and the one shown is very original.

@Lane Ranger, thanks for that, if I get the nerve to stop again and actually get out , I will try to get a look at all of his collection even if it isn't for sale.
