What a difference a century makes. This is a 20 HP IHC Titan tractor that is basically a stationary hit-and-miss engine dropped onto a primitive tractor chassis. It's a wonder tractors ever caught on, considering that farmers were expected to replace a steam engine with this barely-able outfit. Tractor technology advanced rapidly, and it must have been painful to the purchasers to see how quickly their machines became obsolete. Fun to watch, though!
