ESKA made several varieties of John Deere pedal tractors and trailers. When Ertl discontinued the production of large sand-cast riding, or pedal, tractors, ESKA gained another product. The acquisition allowed Carter Tru-Scale to expand its farm toy production under the Carter Tru-Scale and ESKA brands. In 1950-51, Carter Tu-Scale took over the ESKA manufacturing operation and moved it from Dubuque to Rockford, Illinois. The agreement continued until 1948 when ESKA began producing steel-stamped farm implements in its factory at 32nd and White. Another agreement was that Ertl made tractors and ESKA manufactured implements, but not tractors. Under an agreement of the three men, Ertl products were delivered to ESKA which then shipped them. ESKA sold these to the toy industry as well as to farm implement dealers. In these early years, ESKA manufactured the first die cast pedal tractors.ĮSKA planned to provide Ertl farm toys to companies with the ordering company’s original equipment manufacturer’s logo. He bought a small, used die-casting machine, which he installed in his garage on Asbury Road and made the small die cast parts for model tractor toys (not the riding pedal versions that came later) for ESKA.
Until the mid-1950s, Frederick ERTL worked in the die-cast department of the JOHN DEERE DUBUQUE WORKS. The name of the company was created from the first two letters of Essman and the first two letters of Kasel. Lavern Kascel and Bud Essman formed the ESKA Company in 1945. This was a common inconvenience especially during low speed operation such as trolling. More from Like most air cooled outboard motors lacking engine running temperature regulation, they required almost constant adjustment of the fuel mixture jets to run smoothly. Thus, many tune-up parts remained available long after the model’s obsolescence. Many older outboards used common Ignition and Carburetor vendors for that period. Hard core parts for these outboards are getting more difficult to find as time goes on. Most all of the Eska outboards had water cooled exhaust columns using “ram tubes” just aft of the propellers (small engines) or rubber impeller pumps (larger engines). These Power Heads were all Air Cooled, except the 9.9 through 15 horsepower Twin Cylinders. The Power Heads were all manufactured by Tecumseh (Tec) Engines. Some were sold under the Eska name and some under a private brand. Most all Department Stores, Hardware Stores and some Auto Parts Stores sold these outboards, at one time or another. Motors were sold under numerous brand names. ⇒ Comments: Submit To ⇒ Comments♥ (Replace "♥" with Eska Outboard motor was manufactured from 1961 to 1987 in Dubuque, Iowa. ⇒ Become an Academy Member and gain access to additional pages and programs! ⇒ Members must SIGN IN to gain access to Members Only areas of this website. ⇒ What our nonprofit Anchors Aweigh Academy and its EAB website have accomplished. ⇒ Layout of the Website's Pages: Page Types, Page Contents,+. ⇒ This Month's Top 20 Most Popular Articles on our EAB website. ⇒ Related Resources: Topics, Directories, Vendors, Products, Media,+. ⇒ ^ ^ Documentation: Catalogs, Brochures, SpecSheets, Manuals, Parts Lists. ⇒ ^ Offerings: Product Specifications, Years, Ratings,+. ⇒ Vendor's Profile, Contact Information,+.
