Aultman Taylor Oil Pull

  1. Or maybe here in South Dakota the machine age is actually moving backwards. As is photography. Where is the color? Actually I like these. It's better to see them on the computer than in a 90 degree field.

  2. Aultman Taylor of Mansfield, Ohio was a manufacture of steam traction engines (steam tractors) in the 19th Century. In 1910 they began to produce this gas tractor called the 30-60. That is 30 drawbar and 60 belt horsepower, however the Nebraska tests showed it produced 58 drawbar and 80 belt horsepower. It weighed 25,000 lbs, and could pull 9,000 lbs. These machines were used in road building, plowing prairie, running thrashers and saw mills. Last made in 1924 when the company was purchased by Advance Rumley, who was later purchased by Allis Chalmers.

  7. Thanks for sharing these great old-timey pics, Grant. You're capturing my family's central IA farming history! Mom and Dad Norb & Ceil Wiederin would've loved these wonderful shots. I hope you'll keep shooting and sharing.
