Mini Steam Tractor Is Replica Of Rumley Advance Steam Engine
I worked on my mini steam tractor for three years. It's an exact scale replica of a 40 hp. Rumley Advance steam engine originally manufactured in 1912. It was a 225 hp., 2 cylinder tractor. My model has no castings in it. It's all hand made, machined or fabricated as needed in my machine shop. The boiler holds 100 lbs. of steam, which is all the state will allow. The tractor is 87 in. long and 42 in. wide. The rear wheels are 26 in. dia. and 10 in. wide. (Merrel Haakenson, 415 3rd Ave., Dickey, N.Dak. 58431)
