The Advance-Rumely tractor belongs to the early generation of heavy oil-burning machines that pushed American farm mechanization past what steam engines and horses could manage. The Advance-Rumely company of La Porte, Indiana, built large tractors in the early twentieth century, and its OilPull models became well known for running on kerosene-grade fuel rather than gasoline. Machines like this one were often used for plowing and for hauling at threshing rigs, and they marked a shift from the bulky steam traction engines that dominated the countryside a generation earlier. Look closely at the massive drive wheels and open frame, which show how much the design still owed to the steam era it was replacing.
