The Sawyer Massey company of Hamilton, Ontario produced road-building equipment, reapers, mowers, separators, horse powers, and beginning in the early 1880s, steam traction engines. Prior to 1892, the company was known as the L.D. Sawyer Co. In 1892, the Massey brothers acquired an interest in the company and it was renamed the Sawyer & Massey Company. In 1910, the Masseys divested their holding and the company then became known as Sawyer-Massey. Sawyer-Massey continued to produce threshers and steam traction engines, and later manufactured gasoline-powered tractors.
