1950s

The extreme streamlined look of the 1930s had, for the most part, been abandoned during the 1950s. Tractors again received a boxier look but still retained the smooth, rounded corners introduced in the 1930s. The working parts were compact inside the casing, but many tractors grew much larger. Large rear wheels or increased height often characterized the tractors of this period.
