42cady Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Hi, I have a tire test tank that has on it "Big 4 Studebaker Division". I would like to know what years did Studebaker make equipment with the Big 4 name on it? I do have it for sale on Ebay and the item number is 292986787562. If I could date it I would be able to advertise it correctly. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studeq Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) Big Four was not purchased during Studebaker's car building days that ended in March 1966. The Division was purchased in August 1966 and sold in 1969. They produced tire changing equipment, hydraulic jacks and other automotive repair items. I believe they even made some battery chargers. Many tire changers have survived. For a short time this division also made tungsten carbide tire studs when merged with another division called StudeGrip. Therefore your test tank would date from the 1966-69 period. Edited March 3, 2019 by studeq (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
