The Case and Emerson bring back more memories, because my Dad was a fan of old-time farm equipment shows. There still is a show in Rushville, Indiana (https://pioneerengineers.com/default.html (https://pioneerengineers.com/default.html)), and the old equipment featured prominently at the Indiana State Fair in late summer. Both shows had a number of steam-powered tractors, too!

Post by: Subversive_plot on August 15, 2022, 20:55: You can consider this either an "O", or an "R", or possibly even an "A"?.

It's Rumely Oil Pull. When I saw the old tractor shows with my Dad, we always just called them "Oil Pull" tractors, though the company was called Rumely, or sometimes "Advance-Rumely" later on. The company started with threshers, branched out into steam engines. I liked these tractors the best at the old tractors shows, in part due to the unique appearance, but also because they were made in Indiana, where I grew up.

The "Oil Pull" tractors had "infernal combustion" engines that ran on kerosene.

Post by: Growster... on August 19, 2022, 06:28: B is for Bolens!

When my dad was Engineer for Guinness Hop Farms, he bought two with front mower attachments, as they experimented on grassing in between the bines to try and control verticillium wilt! There were over 600 acres in Bodiam back then!

When they weren't being used, one of them (somehow) used to turn up at the family Turrets, and a very young Growster used to mow the acre of grass at home about every half hour of every day...
