Rumely 16-30 Type H

|
I purchased this tractor in 1982. It had set out in the weather for many years and took a lot of work to get in decent condition. It was originaly shipped to Ellsworth and was built in 1922.

I got this one in 1989. It is a 1917 15-30 Model F. It only runs on one cylinder as thats all there is. It runs fairly decent but still needs a little work.

Starting The 25-45 R

This is Mike Bechel cranking the 25-45 to go out and do a little plowing. That long handle is the starter. I am on top doing the easy part operating the controls. Usually if the engine is cool a couple pumps and you're in business. If it's hot that's another story.....
