Year: 1920
This tractor was bought used by my grandfather in the late forties. He never used it and it sat on his farm for many years before he and my uncle Dean restored it in 1979-80. They have showed it ever since at local shows in their area: the Northland Threshing Show in Strathcona and the show in Rollag. My Uncle Dean now owns the tractor along with the small steel Rumely threshing machine that was made for that size tractor.

City: Funk
State: Nebraska
Model: E
Horsepower: 30-60
Serial Number: 143
Year: 1910
This tractor was one of the first Rumelys built (43rd Model E). It was originally shipped to Onida, South Dakota, where it threshed & plowed for many years. Later, a man from Redfield bought it. He had it until 1976, when Rod brought it back to South Central Nebraska. Rod and Chris took it to the Rumely Expo in Waverly, Nebraska in 1997, some of you might remember seeing it there.

Some interesting specs: Weighs 26,500 lbs., holds 70 gallons of cooling oil, and has a 10" bore & 12" stroke. This equates to a 1885 cu. in., or about 31 liters in modern terms!).
