Laurens IA Twin-draulics Inc (manufactured, company, sold)

[mmguy23119]

I recently purchased an old hydraulic tractor loader. The plate on it says manufactured by Twin-Draulics Inc, Laurens Iowa. I am wondering if that company is still in exsistance, or if parts are still available. I have not come up with anything in other searches. Thanks

You wont find a plate from twin-draulics becuase it has been sold to mefferd industries which was also sold to American Handling systems. My great Uncle owed twin-draulics a long time ago and it has since been sold to American Handling Systems. Hope that helps in finding the plate you need. You can google mefferd industries or American handling systems out of Laurens, IA.

My husband is a part of the American Handling/Positech team. While you won't find a plate for you Twin Draulics equipment just laying around in any store, there are quite a few colectors out there that can probalby help you out. We have been members of this great corporation for 26 + years and feel very fortunate to have been hired by Tom and Bonnie Mefferd. Tom is the son of the founder of Mefferd Industries and also Twin Draulics (Paul Meffer). Paul Mefferd also was instrumental in bringing Iowa Industrial to this area. So, you see your product comes from a varied and diverse group. I hope is is something you enjoy. Several of my father's family were employed at T.D. over the years so I appreciate every one of you that still remember it.
