It's hard to imagine those were new at one point and how exciting it would of been to bring it home. Most likely replacing your team. Thanks for sharing 👍
@@kfl611 👍. Our farm is going on to be 107 years old. When my grandpa was still here to tell the stories he talked about his team's. He told a story about his dad having a run away with a team and pulling the grain binder into the trees and destroying it. He was never so happy to purchase a tractor and get some real work done. When I asked real work? Horses sound like a lot of real work. He chuckled and said horses were real work but they always needed a break so it was hard to cover the acres you wanted to do.
@@jeremycherny2041 If it were me and I had to rely on 'farm work' for my living and income......I think it would kill me. I'm too soft. My mom knew all too well getting up before the sun and gathering wood for the wood cook stove - the only heat in the house, before getting ready for school. I don't think they had a house with electricity till the early 1950's. Picking tobacco, and crops and cotton so you would have money for clothes for school - in that down south heat and humidity, I wouldn't last long. My mom said her father never trusted tractors and never had one. I think what land they did have they rented it out for other farmers, and that was their income. But he used a team of horses till he stopped farming the land. Go Grandparents and Mom. It seems like too much work for too little rewards as far as I'm concerned, but praise the lord someone wants to be a farmer or we would not be able to eat. My grandfather only ever wanted to dig his bare feet into the soil and be a farmer. I guess that was basically all he ever knew. My grandparents did have a cleaning business in Florida, which my grandmother loved but my grandfather hated - he wanted to farm, not live in a city. That didn't last long before he went back to North Carolina and resumed farming.
Come home tell your wife I took out a $500 loan for one of them new tractors the boys been talking bout at the coffee shop. To which his wife would of replied you did what!! Some things don’t change
They sure are built to last a few life times.....I do expect to hear 'chug chuggg, choo choo' like a train.........but they did kind of make a chuff chuff sound.
@@maggs131 Yes they are amazing too ! I expect to hear an 'all aboard' when they get fired up. I also can't help but think the people that own them and operate them, could also fix them blindfolded. Kind of like living iron horses - like they used to call steam locomotives....
My dad told me the first tractor he ever drove was an Oil Pull Rumley. He said they used water injection to increase HP when they warmed up. He was born in 1911 and mostly farmed with horses until he could afford a tractor. He bought a John Deere 2 cylinder when I was about 6 years old that I learned to operate.
That whole demonstration was completely AWESOME to watch! I still find it hard to believe that those were the forerunners of modern tractors of that era! Thanks for showing us viewers this history of these Tractors!
The wild thing is that the oldest men in this video by far never saw these tractors actually farming except for maybe display. I certainly don't know the ages of these majestic tractors. But I'm willing to wager it was well before the men shown. So blessed be these tractors that they live, and run, forever. There's just not much information about them to really learn about them. I bet they'd pull a damn skiffy bottom plow or 50. Very impressive. Keep the ladies sheltered. Beautiful.
Love your collection. What's nice NO emission BS . No expensive computer or programs to buy . Owner can repair these lovely tractors without getting sued by manufacturer. These lovely tractors may be coming back . I love watching these wonderful antiques run and admire ther owners and operators. I wouldn't have a clue on how to start one of these beauties thank you for keeping these items alive.
Been many years since I've seen a Rumley thank you for sharing a great smile been a long time since I've seen a spin start as I used to call them beautiful tractors
As a boomer, a cocky and having had an old man born in 1925 often mentioning the "Hart Parr", I now know what he spoke of. I am also involved with machinery preservation on the other side of the world (Australia). I congratulate you on such a great collection of working history. Dad would have loved to see this. Thanks mate.
Watching this again, it's oddly soothing. Can you imagine what it must have been like 'in the day' to crank those up in the morning and work with them? My favorite is the 'OilPull' (second one)
I've done that. Back when I was a teenager, I cranked up my Pops old tractor and ran it all day. In the Evening, I'd be at the sink washing off the dirt. I'd look in the mirror and my face would be really dirty black, from dust and exhaust.
These old machines were built to last as long as you keep the rust off of them. There are hundred+ year old engines similar to this still being used in the places the old british empire held power like in india. New orleans which is slightly under sea level keeps its city dry using massive pumps built in the 1800's which still work perfectly. Most stuff produced now is designed to fail so that there is a future market for their stuff. We ~could~ make cars and other machines that last a lifetime but there isn't any profit in that.
Beautiful. Thank you. I hope 100 years from now, someone is starting still maintaining them and showing them off- on whatever the UA-cam equivalent is then.
Actually the model x the first oil pull started was the lastest produced at the time, the model e and g are referred to as heavy weight's, using channel frames and open gearing, we're as the model x considered a light weight, using stamped frames and enclosed gear cases saving lots of lube compared to the once through method of the day,in addition the x was a superpower as evidenced by coolant expansion tank on top of the radiator.
My Grandfather had the Big Rumley Oil Pull on his farm. It was gone before I ever saw it but I did get to see film of it running a thrasher with a belt with one twist in it from Flywheel. Was really nice to see one start and move!
You must remember this machine comes from an era when people were smart enough to keep themselves out of harms way now everyone is so stupid that instructions and safety warnings must accompany everything down to a butter knife and a plastic bag!!
I had mine at the Ag Hall of Fame in Bonner Springs Ks a number of years ago. An older gentleman walked up and told me his dad had bought a neighbor’s “E” Rumely after the neighbor got killed starting it. He slipped between the flywheel and rear wheel. My wife would have been happier not hearing that.
Thank you for sharing, I had never seen any of these incredible machines before! Their size and displacement is just astounding, especially considering how small tractors would get in just a couple decades.
Wow Great cold start never ever seen Any tractor like this Well kept thanks to the old barn each has be at least 50 years old or older but still runs and drive👈👍👍 thanks for keeping old history alive👍
You have to imagine there has been some gnarly accidents with these rigs in the past. Run over a toe with one of these it's gone 😮 not to mention all the exposed moving parts. Amazing the skill at running one of these.
What a fantastic collection!. Love seeing old bits of kit like this 'firing up' and on the move instead of gathering dust in some museum or being left to rot n rust! History preserved. Good on you for preserving them and keeping them running!. Nuff said!. 🙂
The machines that helped this country to grow and strive and fed the people around . Beautiful to see and watch. To me that's the stand of our great country. Next to the great War veterans. We would not be here today if it wasn't for them .Salute to the farmers.
There's something about the sound of old engines, of metal mechanisms and gears coupling and decoupling, all that 'clank-clank-clank'. The sound of the power of technology at its purest.
Your comment reminds me of a car I saw at a traffic light today: if it stood still for more than a second or so, the engine would automatically turn off, and as soon as the driver gave it some throttle, it would _instantly_ restart and start driving. It did that 4 times or so while creeping forward in the queue. Honestly seems a bit excessive to me, but it's still impressive that it can just do that without skipping a beat!
@@JanTutsa lot of company’s like ford put in this system to save gas on cars. it will shut off at a stop and start when you push the gas my mother had this in her ford car
@@JanTuts Start-stop engines have become quite a popular way of conserving fuel, and from what I learned elsewhere, it is a lot more involved than just starting it in the way you'd do with a normal always-on engine. Apparently the computer controlling the engine remembers what part of the combustion cycle it was in before it was stopped, so that it can just pick up where it left off rather than having to run the engine through a complete cycle to re-learn the cam and crank positions. As you'd expect, it's got a better battery and heavy duty starter, too.
@@therealchayd Rofl what? That's not how a car engine works. There is no relearning anything. The camshaft is connected to the crankshaft mechanically, this is also the case in modern cars, and also in those with a start stop system. There is no relearning. As for ignition and injection, even that happens the very first turn in almost every car engine.
True genius engineering. Nobody today has the brain or the brawn like these old timers and the ones who built and invented these marvels. majestically simple yet reliable as all can be. Look how easy some of these are to start with no electronics in sight and these things could pull a mountain over. Astounding.
Very lucky to have so many in your country just like the start up and eventually moving I guess they are the first mobile stationary engines thanks for vid regards Tony from Tasmania
It's a 4 cylinder engine, so it's much smoother running. Aultman Taylor built some of the most advanced tractors during the time of the big prairie tractors. Time was not on the side of these behemoths though. Too slow, too much maintenance required, and fuel consumption per acre would be considered insane by today's standards. Awhile back I read the results of the Nebraska tests of the Rumely 30-60 model E. I thought at first that the astronomically high fuel consumption figures must have been a misprint, but nope.
It is crazy to think that farmers had to use these tractors back then at sometimes up all night to get the field done and imagine how scary that is just hearing the tractor and barely able to see anything an midnight

john deere is now chinese
ive got tears from watching and hearing this.... anybody else?
Crazy how big those machines are! and it's even crazier that they're still working!!
Yes back then things were built to last unlike today, where i should pack 3 days after the warranty expires!!
I have a feeling that these simple and solid old machines will run forever.
That whole demonstration was completely AWESOME to watch! I still find it hard to believe that those were the forerunners of modern tractors of that era! Thanks for showing us viewers this history of these Tractors!
Wow fantastic. The old timers when these first came out would've been stoked to have had one of these. These horses don't need hay.

I guess you also have no idea about what is the fuel they use for these
Should that matter in the long run?
It's amazing to think that these big machines were designed/built without the aid of CAD or any of the tools we have today.
And they run longer than the things that are!
And not a part says made in china
We used to have things (or people) called draftsmen to draw all the inventions so they could be made by the other tradesmen. Sadly no longer…
Gee wiz legend has it the sr71 was built without cad etc ain’t that cool !??
They had some tools we use today just not computers. They drew all those designs on paper.

They will get ran there is always an enthusiast towel head
Great video. The first start up, old boy showed true farmer endurance and strength turning that tractor by hand at least 20 times respect brother
Those are remarkable behemoths … and the operators got their aerobic workouts just starting them. Amazing !!

These tractors look mighty capable for their time. Just think of all the work you could do with one of these.
Starting that huge Rumley while balancing on the wheel looks super dangerous!
Yes what if it would have kicked back dude Woulda thrown himself 30 feet mirror
You must remember this machine comes from an era when people were smart enough to keep themselves out of harms way now everyone is so stupid that instructions and safety warnings must accompany everything down to a butter knife and a plastic bag!!
