abstract	The Australian firm of A. H. McDonald & Company of Melbourne was founded by Alfred Henry McDonald in 1908. McDonald built a 20 hp 2-cylinder tractor which he called the Imperial EA Type All-Steel Oil Tractor These were built from 1909 till the early 1920s when cheaper imports mad it uneconomical to build them. From 1920 to 1929 McDonald imported American Emmerson-Brantingham and Swedish Avance tractors. By 1930 they started building tractors based on a Rumley OilPull gearbox and their own engine of 35 hp. They build over 600 before WWII stopped production. After the War they built a more powerfull version with a 40 hp engine, 6-speed gearbox and live Power Take Off. However, only 20 of these were made before production ceased in 1955.
