I love old steam engine tractors! Keep the pics coming!
Here are a few more
A Baker engine. Looks like a 20/60, but not sure
A 25/75 Case
A 22/70 Wood Brothers. My dad`s 5/8th scale model is based on this engine. He used to own it. Sold it back in 96 when he moved to town.
A little Russell engine. Maybe a 15/45. Can`t tell from the pic.

There is nothing else like historical machines being able to continue to tell their story so long after having been built!
Those are seriously cool! Thanks for sharing.
The first steam tractors I saw as a kid were in my mother’s family photo album. Her oldest brother was working in Iowa, and had taken some pictures of several of the steam tractors working in a field; this was prior to the first world war as my uncle was killed during that war. As a kid I was puzzled because the tractors looked like small locomotives to me but there weren’t any railroad tracks in the field. Much later on I found out what a steam tractor was and attended a showing of them when I lived in Pennsylvania. I can tell you the owners of such were extremely proud of their restorations; as well they should be. A most impressive show of the steam tractors; great tools from a different era.
