In the late 1800's our family bought it's first tractor, a double cylinder Massey steam traction engine, it was a monster of a thing on steel wheels and closely resemble a railway locomotive.

It produced a then unheard of 35 horsepower to the belt drive.

My how times have changed.


Best of luck.

My Grandfather's brother, what ever relation that is to me had a steam engine and a "Seperator", as they called a threshing machine that he pulled from farm to farm in the late 1800's till in the 1930's. I have no idea what brand they were but my Dad said that it took a long time for the thing to get from farm to farm pulling the threshing machine down the road.
My grandfather's first tractor was a Fordson, and my Father's first was a "B" Farmall that he farmed 120 acres with. My first was a Super "M" Farmall, a giant compared to the "B".
I still have a "Cub" Farmall, in the same class as the little Deere in the picture, about 8 or 9 HP. I think. I get it out once in a while just to keep it limbered up. ....
