John A. Johnson, Morris Fuller and several others bought out the Madison Plow Works and started
the manufacture of farm machinery. In 1882 John A. Johnson and Morris Fuller were elected directors
and the company was then called the Fuller & Johnson Company.
From this time on it was a steady growth for F & J. They built
plows, corn planters, wagons, mowers, cultivators, harrows, sulky
rakes, feed mills and tobacco machinery, to name a few.
They produced them as such until 1903, when the engine division
was sold to F & J. Mr. Winkley went to work for F&J, also.
He went on to invent and patent the air-cooled farm pump engine,
for which he received $1 per engine from F&J.
In about 1906 F&J came out with a vertical and horizontal
hopper-cooled engine to sell along with their oil-cooled engine.
The air-cooled farm pump engine came out in 1910- many thousands of
these were built and sold.
