That is one thing that I've never seen in person. I have always loved the old steam locomotives and a steam tractor is basically a steam locomotive on tractor wheels. None of the shows around here that I've been to have had a steam tractor. By all of the photos and videos I've seen of them they look pretty awesome.

Am looking for someone to paint this one. Not looking so much as a restoration but just to keep in from rusting away. Last time it was fired up was 1985 although I did put in new flues and ran it a couple of days taking the family for rides. It is still free as of a couple of years ago. Any info on someone to do this would be appreciated. |

Have operated a 20 Waterloo (a sweet running engine) and a 25 George White. Now own, (or should I say it owns me) the White. It is currently awaiting a new boiler.

Always lots of steam at the Lanesvill In. Heritage Festival. This year it is Sept. 9-11. Lots of vintage tractors, stationary engines, demonstrations and horse drawn plowing competitions. I get a big charge out of those huge steam tractors.

Next weekend is the tractor show at Pawnee, OK, haven't made it in several years now, but there used to be LOTS of steam there. It started out as an all-steam show, then went to antique tractors and everything else being welcome, too. They have, or at least they used to have, one of those big A-C steam engines, and a Corliss generator that used to furnish power for a smelter in the area, up until in the 1960's.

I have a steam engine made by Schofield Iron works in Macon, Ga. It powered a local cotton gin. I was told it was the equal to a 100 hp electric motor.

If you want to see lots of steam engines working, attend the Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion some time. Besides lots of "ordinary" steam engines, they have real steam powered shovels, derricks, saw mills etc. There's also a steam powered locomotive circling the grounds.

There are at least two steam locomotives at WMSTR at Rollag. One standard gauge, and one 15" gauge. There were at least 100 steam tractors at Mt. Pleasant last time I was there, all in steam. More not fired up. The daily tractor parade took three hours running three a breast, over 1000 numbers.
Many a smaller Iowa show has a few steam tractors and one or a few shows happen practically each summer weekend. That's also true of Indiana, Missouri, Illinois, Nebraska, Minnesota, and likely Wisconsin. Rollag does cover more acres than Mt. Pleasant, but I didn't think had as many tractors. Gerald J. |

The closest thing to a steam engine I have run is not one big enough to ride on. Its a Stuart Turner 5A model engine about 16 inches tall that runs nice and smooth on compressed air. What I read about them is they are about 1.5 hp at 100 psi and will power a small boat. It has the forward and reverse feature.
