Most recent update: March 2, 2021.

Moore Equipment Company was founded in 1929 by Stanley S. Moore and his father, in Stockton CA: it was primarily engaged in the manufacture and repair of farm machines, road machines and tools.  To support the WWII demand for ships, they built a shipyard and produced landing craft and barges for the Navy.  When the war ended, the yard closed and the business was sold to International Harvester.
