About 1915 Weeks were asked by Mr. Dungey a local fruit and hop grower to build a tractor. The first Weeks-Dungey tractors were fitted with a four-cylinder engine at the front and a large cylindrical water tank (hopper) at the rear next to the driver's seat. In about 1918 they built the Weeks-Dungey New Simplex model. This had a Waukesha Engines from Wisconsin and a 3 speed gear box from the Detroit Gear Engineering Co. of Michigan, imported from the USA. The exact number built is unknown, but some quote 220, with production ended in 1925.
