This first truck that Lester made had features like rear-wheel steering, equal high-speed reverse and forward gears, hydraulic lifting and tilting, and under-the-load front wheel drive. This model was so inventive that it was used for 30 years before newer technology was finally utilized and took over. Although the "Model-L" has altered significantly since it was first created, it was full of new ideas that are still used today. During the mid-, Lester Sears sold Towmotor, his business, to Caterpillar.
