Weekend Steam


'The American Thresherman And Farm Power', April, 1922 clearly shows the trend away from steam traction engines on American farms; most of the ads for farm power are gas and kerosene powered tractors. Farquhar, Advance- Rumely, Port Huron, and Baker steamers are badly outnumbered by the gas tractor ads for; Aultman-Taylor, Advance-Rumely, Minneapolis, Flour City, Allwork, Case (times two), Nichols & Shepard, Frick, and International Harvester.

Now, let's look at a video by The Original WheelsTV on YouTube, of a Baker engine at a steam show.
