We had a Rumely back home in the shed when i was growing up .I believe it had "The Only Oil Burning Engine" painted on it.In the late 1960's a guy named Mayberry bought it .Every year he would have an old time threshers reunion up around Niobrara Nebraska.I remember the hind wheels being taller than my step dad & he was over 6'0 tall.Thanks for this video it brought back a lot of memories .
I went to the 2020 RUMELY PRODUCTS COLLECTORS EXPO yesterday, and I tell ya, it was once in a lifetime experience for me. Never knew of the existence of these awesome machines.
Small world I remember the Mayberry show in the 70's. My father new Mr. Mayberry well. He had a marvelous collection of just about anything you could think of.
It would most likely have been turned on a vertical lathe, not a horizontal bed lathe. The shop I worked at before I retired had several, the largest one, built by the Gray machine tool Co, had a 12 foot diameter chuck with its face set about 5 inches above the shop floor, and the motor and gearing below the floor. It would actually swing a part almost 15 feet diameter between the vertical columns. Powered by a 100 hp motor. It would turn a part around 10 ft tall, although everything we did with it was much shorter. It was not a machine for rookies LOL!
@@6h471 is that the same as a wheel lathe? We have one at our shop they used to use in wwii era to machine train wheels with. Runs like a top still today. Only machine we have that doesn’t constantly need maintenance.
My years as boy on a farm were far removed from implement like this but I do recall my grandmother on at least one occasion speaking of her folks Rumley, as well as their Willy's Overland Whippet back in Nebraska. The horsepower isn't bad at 60 for a medium tractor in my day but the torque must be tremendous. How much torque would this tractor generate?
Yeah it is crazy but that’s how they have to do it down where I’m at their is one at this tractor museum and the dude cranks it with his foot it’s a piece of cool machinery love the thing

Murry is getting to be quite a celebrity with these videos! I know him and met him at the Crosby shows over the years. Fine gentleman.

starting this was a bit of a challenge!
Awesome tractors!
I'd like to see the lathe that that flywheel was turned on! Must have been a monster. I wonder if such machine tools exist now.
Yes machine tools that big exist today.

Nice tractor 🔥
It's a wonder anyone survived the starting process and lived to plow!
Looks like there is some exhaust leakage around the Igniter.
Love rumelys. I'd love a 30 60 e

Epic
I personaly know the man and engine
The exhaust cleaned the dust off the rafters
Dubstep origin?
Sadly of course all the men who designed and built that machine are long gone.
Built back when common sense was the primary safety feature
kerosene as in compression ignition?
Nope it's got igniters
Looks like a good way to lose a leg.
