oliver2-44 9,759 #4 Posted May 10, 2022 My wife and I took a tri in the RV and went to the Pawnee show and several other Ok state Parks. There were nine steam tractors and lots of other hood show tractors. Here’s some travel And steam show pics. Ray Roberts lake about an hour above Fort Worth I spent some time in the steam yard every morning as they fired up @Achto Yhey were great at showing me things and answering my many questions Nighttime Spark Show. I learned they put a thick blanket of sawdust from the sawmill on s hot fire and let simmer for about 20 minutes. Then put a heavy load on the belt pulley and open up the fire door. Lots of airflow to blow the glowing sawdust out the stack Lots of great old steam tractors 1/8 size operational steam tractor @ClassicTractorProfessor International C Interesting Massey Harris 4 wheel drive These JD MY crawlers are a favorite of mine Great Doodlebug My wife’s favorite washer with attachment options Stationary Steam engine designed by a fellow Texan 16”dia piston for a vertical hit and miss stationary engine they are rebuilding Its cylinder 1st Huber tractor I’ve seen Waterfall at Natural Falls State Park Took my wife to Pahusks Pioneer Woman’s Store and this restored Dodge Power Wagon was out front @ebinmaine You would love it My wife ready to cook something up at the Pioneer Woman’s Lodge where she does her HGTV show Sign says it all Buffalo at the 40,000 Acre Tall Grass Preserve 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 27,600 #8 Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) Awesome pictures!!! Looks like you had a great time. Glad that you got time to speak with the steamer guys, they are usually a great group who are happy to answer questions and promote the interest in piston steam power. I recognized most of the steamer brands, but this one is new to me. I have not seen a Rumley like this one. 3 hours ago, oliver2-44 said: Edited May 11, 2022 by Achto 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They never did to my knowledge. That little tractor was custom built several years ago and has been at the Pawnee show just about every year since. Head over to the other brands board and check out my thread on our engines...there is a video there of the tractor running and a link to a magazine article about it. @oliver2-44at least you got my good side in the photo had I seen you there I would've looked in that direction and give ya a wave...glad you enjoyed the show. Pawnee is one of our favorites, second only to our annual Threshing Bee we put on at the Major County Historical Society in Fairview OK every September. Still going through all of my pics from this weekend. Will try to get some of them posted here soon. I've got some videos of the spark show and a few other things to get up on my YouTube channel...will link them here as well. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ClassicTractorProfessor 5,314 #10 Posted May 11, 2022 As promised here are some of my pics from the show...wasn't able to get as many as I usually do...was too busy being back and forth from the tractor show field to the engine show area, as well as helping sell raffle tickets for the Allis B the Historical Society is giving away at our yearly show in September. Our 1949 C parked between a beautiful M and F30 Our display and campsite in the engine show area Couple of neat implements and the story behind them Probably my most favorite tractor in the whole show...I'm an IH guy through and through, but the first tractor I ever drove was an Allis Chalmers D15 that belonged to my grandpa (same grandpa we bought the C from last week) so seeing this beautifully restored D15 brought back so many memories of that summer and learning to drive that old tractor Another Case SC with wide front. I own one of these but don't see many of them at shows. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
