Around 1936 the Brockway family formed the All American Tractor Company. When they started mass producing their tractors they changed the moniker to Brockway Tractor Company around 1937. They did not build very many tractors but those that were featured a Chevrolet engine, transmission, and final drives. Popularity of these tractors grew and and they Brockway Truck Company asked the Brockway family to change the firm’s name in 1939 this lead to the Leader Tractor Company and Leader tractor in 1940.
After changing to the Leader Tractor Company in 1940 they experienced a lot of difficulties around 1943 due to WW II which stopped the tractor business. Around 1945 they were able to purchase steel again and the Brockway family got back to building tractors, these tractors were now powered by a Hercules IXB-5 engine. By 1948 Walter Schott controlled most of the production of the Leader tractors and other farm equipment manufactured by the Brockways. Leader Tractor Company closed in the mid 1950’s under Walter Schott’s control.
