Along with my renewal for your magazine I am enclosing a picture
taken at Rodney Pitts, ‘Steam Up Day’ at Canby, Oregon. The
engine in the picture is the same one shown in the May-June issue,
1956 then owned by W. E. (Bill) Walston. I purchased and restored
this engine this past summer. Including rejacketing and painting.
We have discovered that this engine was manufactured February 21,
information but not very complete.
I also have added to my collection of steam engines, a 20-40
Case gas tractor. Two 20-40 oil pull Rumelys, a Titan 20, a 16-30
oil pull Rumley. One of the earliest, Model D, John Deere. A very
early 10-20 McCormick. Deering and a four wheel drive Massey Harris
and a Happy Farmer (La-Cross) tractor.
I am looking for more old gas tractors and oil pull Rumelys that
are not too far away.
