Nichols-Shepard Farm tractors by series

Nichols-Shepard was a manufacturer of farm equipment in the late 19th and early 20th century. The company was formed out of John Nichols blacksmith shop in Battle Creek, Michigan. The primary product line was threshing machines and steam engines. Nichols-Shepard merged with Hart-Parr and Oliver Chilled Plow to become the Oliver Farm Equipment company in 1929. Combines and corn pickers continued to be built in the Battle Creek factory until 1962, after White purchased Oliver and closed the factory.
