The tractor
is a six room, two-story office building with 2,400 square feet of space,
housing United Equipment, a heavy equipment company. It is 2.5 times the size of
the Caterpillar D6 tractor, after which it is modeled. "The owner saw a scale
model of a tractor on top of a 25-story building in Tokyo, and got the idea for
his own tractor-shaped building," Brenda Schmidt, secretary/bookkeeper and
daughter of Harold Logsdon, who owned the building, told the Los Angeles Times
back in 1987. Built mostly of plywood, the Tractor was constructed in 1976.
