My great uncle had a Rumley. Pulled threshing machine with it. I was 6 when it blew the last straw stack. Then bought a G John Deere.. They hauled wheat to the threshing machine piled real high on wagons. Pitch into machine with pitch forks.
The tractor looks and sounds fantastic. I love old machines, especially ones that are obviously cared for. I will say it would have been more enjoyable if there had been a little explanation of what was going on during the video. It would also have been nice to get a view of the horsepower reading on the brake. Hope to see more of your machines soon.
couldn't agree more, used a belt system to thresh corn on my uncle's farm when i was a wee bairn but have never seen tractors like this , so me being a drivaholic numbers would have been good. Fantastic old girl though .
I have a few books on the Advance Rumely's and if it has the 36" belt pulley then it should be the 30-60 Rumely. According to Rumely history they did there best work on the belt and could still pull ten 14" plows depending on soil conditions. Looks powerful sitting there running and loved the sound of it. Thanks for sharing.
You don't say anything about the fuel. Dad said that the rumbly that he was around when threshing would use about 8 gals of & 8gals of kerosene per hr. if it was pulling hard. that was running 48" thresher.. I think that you should have talked about that as I thought was very interesting. Also the original testing of HP was 75 as the rumbly had more power than what was listed which was 60 .
That E sounds awesome!
Thanks for sharing.
This is one cool machine. Hope to see it in person in the future.
great filming. thanks for sharing. looks like a fun day.

Me at first: "E-Rumley? Is that an electric tractor?"
Me at 0:06: "THAT'S NOT AN ELECTRIC TRACTOR."

You got some cool tractors 🚜
So many ways to loose a limb on the early 20th century farm!!
Shouldnt the belt be looped like a figure8?
Only if the pulleys need to turn opposite directions.
S the belt fabric? What would a source be to purchase one?
