1924 Waterloo Boy Threshing

- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- A rare demonstration of a Model N Waterloo Boy working hard on a threshing machine. Built in 1924 and producing 25hp at the flywheel and 12 at the drawbar, this fine tractor is in it's ninetieth year operating and still runs like the day she was built. The Waterloo Boy tractor was originally built by the Waterloo Gasoline Traction Engine Company of Waterloo, Iowa, they where the first commercially produced gasoline tractors available on the mass market. Despite their name, they all ran on kerosene. The Model R, Waterloo`s first tractor, was introduced in 1914. The Model N seen here was first produced in 1916 and cost a princely sum of $890. Following the sale of the Waterloo company to Deer & Company in 1918, the new merger formed what is now known as the John Deere Tractor Company. Production of the N in Waterloo Boy livery lasted until 1924, one year after the introduction of Deere`s first original design that incorporated many of the Waterloo Boy`s features: the legendary John Deere Model D. For many John Deere fans, this is the beginning, this is genesis. Pioneer Acres Museum, Irricana, Alberta.
The iconic sound that went into the 60s. Love the two cylinder tractors. It sorta reminds me of the JohnDeere B as far as what it actually sounds like. Good to see people actually care enough to restore a tractor from that era.
This is one of my favorite tractors, ever. Great video!
nice Video
it was great 2 see that tractor 🚜 😊 working most of them U see arent and they are setting there its good that the old tractors can still work even though they cant do the work of 2 days tractors alot of the old tractors done flat belt work 4 many years then in the 194OS they had PTO shafts and PTO driven equipment and then even still in the 195OS they were still using flat belt equipment woodsaw corn choppers water pumps hammer mills and others most of all the sawmills 😊😊 they went from steam engines 2 tractors and then 2 power units 😊😊 thats the way things changed over time and through the years and the days of the old 2 man cross cut saws were gone and the chainsaws were made and U could get alot more wood cut in a days time 😊😊 this new technology be 4 WW2 ended and afterwards then 2 tractors went 2 live PTO and power steering alot better than be 4 when the old tractors were moving it was easier 2 drive and even the cars and trucks 2 went 2 power steering 😊😅🎉😂❤😊 OMG 12 5 2O23
Hi,thanks for a great video.Just for information the Waterloo Boy was the first tractor to undergo the Nebraska tractor test and developed 25hp at the belt and 12hp at the drawbar.
Congrats on your hundredth video! That's a nice tractor, very well kept. Also, cool thresher. I love the old threshing machines.
Well thanks, I will get more detailed views of them in the future.
A very neat video where was this filmed? Thanks for sharing.
Fabulous video very well done😄😄😄
Thanks so much.
I did not even know of the Waterloo Boy till I saw a die cast model of it! Is there a reason why the belt is so long?
I believe it harkened back to the steam era when you wanted a fair distance between the engine and thresher. The longer belts also tends to smooth out any uneven engine impulses that the large slower moving engines tended to develop.
A longer belt is also more forgiving if you are not lined up quite straight.
nice video, did you get any footage of the B rumely next to it?
I should have some in the archive somewhere... If not I will get some as they are out and about fairly often.
congratulations on your 100th video.
Well thank you, and here's to one hundred more.
***** I'm looking forward to them.
Dose this tractor have a oil sump like the JD D or did it have drip lube? - BOB
They used a simple sump based oil pumping system, you can see the flow indicator bulbs at 1:18. They provided a visual indication that the pump was operating and the critical engine points where getting lubrication oil. This system carried over (with improvements) into most every JD two cylinder tractor for the next half century or so.
Where was the video taken? Brad
