I am 67 yrs old but can well remember my teenage years when Mom and Dad took us 4 boys down to Mt. Pleasant, Iowa and watched all the old steam tractors, large and small at the Old Threshers Reunion. I grew up on a farm in Iowa and it was so interesting to me. I never used steam to farm with but 2 old tractors, an Oliver 77 and an 88. Also a new 1650 in 1965. Very powerful tractor for its weight class. We also had a Farmall B a Farmall Super M. Another powerful tractor for its class. The 1650 would pull 4 14 bottom plow without to much struggle unless it was muddy. I once remember a wet spring but Dad was going to plow the garden, come hell or highwater. Started with the Super M and within 2 hours we had all stuck except the 1650 as it was at the other farm. I went and brought it back and it then pulled them all out. Good old memories.
I have to say that this person who built the traction track engine is undoubtedly a true AMERICAN. What he dreamed he built. God bless you Sir. Would love to talk to you by phone if at all possible. Please get in touch with me Sir. Thanks
WELL DONE FOR SURE!! IT DOES HOWEVER HAVE THE SINGLE CYLINDER BUGABOO! YA GOTTA PLAY WITH IT AND GET THINGS LINED UP TO REVERSE!! I ALWAY WANTED TO BUILD ONE WITH A 3 CYLINDER ENGINE!!
It’s funny because, on average, the Chinese are the most intelligent people in the world. Don’t believe me? Check the research yourself, it’s all there in black and white. That’s not good or bad, it’s not anti-white or anti-asian, it’s just fact. The same way that Asians are generally physically unsuited to winning at Basketball is not good or bad, it’s just fact This is a video about a smart guy building a steam tractor, are you racists so insecure that you have to turn it into a race thing?

It's not the first caterpillar tractor The first tractors they made had metal tires AND THEN FOUNDTHAT THE TRACTOR WAS TO HEAVY AND THE CREATOR SAID "oh tracks with seperate weight to the ground and won't sink"

bubadog1 You're so 😎🆒cool ! *** Love your story. Thank you.
wow that elderly man is an artist and a scholar to remake a machine that no one even has a running version of
Saw this in person at Santa Margarita in 2023. Absolutely beautiful, one of a kind tractor.
9 years well worth it friend ! . Nice work.
I love the attitude he has...."If its been built, I can build another"......THATS AMERICAN!!!
Very nice guy I picked up parts to get them heat treated showed me the engine as it was being built nice to see it running great job
that was a quality build. superb craftsmanship. i hope he's met up with Fred Dibnah in the afterlife. RIP
what happened
Extremely skilled man.
Wonderful - what enthusiam and dedication to make that superb machine. Good job.
What an engineering marvel *****
You deserve an award for that.
Thank you for sharing it with us.
So 😎🆒cool!
Love the Teddy Roosevelt look. Based on the photo of Roosevelt on a steam shovel do doubt. Nice.

love this stuff
Amazing! ❤️👌👌😎
Don Hunter, the man who built this engine and is featured in this video, passed away earlier this month (October 3, 2013).
mbkerk GOD BLESS HIS SOUL.
In a few years, we'll be able to 3-D print old machines like this.
the parts yes, but this are all indavidual beasts, steam has its own temperment, and the parts each were hand fitted to each machine.
Does that thing have wooden tracks?
It has wooden pads on a steel track system.
WHERE IS THIS LOCATED?
Meraviglioso!!!
Эх посмотреть бы живьем!
What are you talking about?
Friggin rights buds : )
