Rumely Oil Pull Tractors
 

 

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.

Rumely 15-30 Type F

 

 

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.....

 

Plowing with 25-45 and 5 x 14 JD plow

Well we got the plow in the ground and are going in high gear. We could have had the plow a little deeper but then the modern tractors would have trouble. We are burning a mixture of gasoline, diesel fuel and water.... Click Here for You Tube video.
