This is one of the last tractors that we have restored. This is a 1903 Huber 2060 hp Steam Traction Engine. We do not have the correct canopy on this engine, but plan to put the correct one on later.

A bucket to a steam shovel I have forgotten the make looks as though the cleats hardly been used. It's as large a one as I ever saw.

Here is a picture, taken about 1910 or 1912, of an engine I ran
for 6 years in Alberta, Canada. In the picture I am peering from
the cab window. We are pulling 10 plows, enough discs to double
disc it. The drill seeds it and the harrow double harrows it,
changing the land from virgin prairie to a seeded field as smooth
as a garden.

The engine is a double Rumely, 36 HP, 175 lbs. steam. I first
ran this engine mostly night shift for others and then bought it
and ran it a while. Later I sold it but ran it for 2 years. It was
a wonderful engine but it succumbed to the scrap dealer during the
war.
