- A quick look at Kerosene Annie the Rumely Oil Pull prototype tractor built in 1909 on display at the 2022 Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion. Shows the first plowing she's done in probably over 100 years! Advance Rumely was acquired by Allis Chalmers in 1931.
How could you not love that old school machinery with exposed belts spinning around everywhere and everything done by pulling on levers
I love the sound of the Rumely's so much
They're Floating The Plow... Put them down further and make that thing "Chug and Puff"!... Haha!.... Wow it that an awesome tractor!...
I have heard of this OilPull for Yrs. It is Awesome to see it Running.
the thrasher and Rumely on the train was cool, and seeing that one plowing was great, great video
Loved it! Thanks for posting
I never knew that A-C bought out Rumley.
I ol Annie could talk, she'd probably say "I don't know what all the excitement is about, it's not like I haven't plowed before" lol!
Cool, she's not too far from me normally. I should throw a team together and head east. Heh.
Now that would have been a big day on the tractor
Great video. What’s the horsepower? Why didn’t they put all plow bottoms in the ground all the time? How did they start it when they didn’t have another tractor around?
Horsepower I'm not sure, my rumley book doesn't say but since it was a prototype the first production one had 25hp on the drawbar and 45hp on it belt so probably close to that. I think they wanted to slowly ease it into work since it had been so long and you can also start it by spinning the flywheel by hand but it's alot more work
@@JandLVideos thank you very much for the information
@@JandLVideos yeah thanks that's what I was looking for most likely they were trying to warm that engine up before they put any heavy load on it, so I agree with you on that.
By the way very nice video well done👍
You can start them by spinning the big flywheel by hand. Some had a lever to help spin it. I believe some later ones had electric start, but not sure. However, if you get one engine started, it can start all the rest.
Looks like they were giving it all the load it could handle. Also, the gears might be worn and they were babying it.
Back then people weren’t stupid and wouldn’t get tangled up in belts. Nowadays dummy’s are everywhere and 15 people would die just walking around it
