22 HP Avery Undermount Steam Traction Engine

Lot #10 (Sale Order 12 of 57)

The Avery Company was founded in 1891 by Robert Hanneman Avery. The company is famed for its undermounted engine which resembled a railroad engine more than a conventional steam traction engine. Avery built a large line of products including steam engines, threshing machines, plows and later trucks. Starting with a return flue design Avery later adapted the famous undermount style steam engine including the bulldog on the smokebox door stating "Teeth Talk" . Their design was well received by farmers in central Illinois and eventually Avery expanded their market nationwide and overseas until the 1920's.
In the construction of Top-mounted Engines the cylinders, gearing, drive wheels and other parts are all bolted to the boiler by means of brackets. The boiler shell serves as the main frame work of the engine, and must bear all the severe pulling and twisting strains of traction work. With an Avery Undermounted Engine you eliminate these troubles! The entire working parts such as the cylinders, gearing, ground wheels, etc are all mounted on an independent steel framework. The load is all pulled by the steel frame not the boiler keep all pulling strains on the frame and not boiler!
This 22 HP Avery steam traction engine has spent the majority of its life in the "Big Sky" Country of Montana. It's been with the same owner for 70 years and stored inside for 60 years. The dry air has helped preserve this iconic engine from rusting away! The engine is fully complete, Avery steam gauge, whistle, factory jacket and the front headlight. Boiler visually looks to be in good condition, gearing shows signs of wear and engine will need some TLC before lighting the match.

Allis-Chalmers M Crawler

Lot #12 (Sale Order 13 of 57)

In 1932 the Allis-Chalmers Model M crawler tractor was introduced and remained in production until 1942. It is estimated that 14,524 were built during these ten years.

The Model M was regarded as the "light crawler" at just on 3 tons and had a standard 40 inch track gauge with the option of a 50 inch track gauge which was known as the WM.
This Model M was one of the VERY FIRST MODEL M Crawlers to come off the line. It is a possibility that this tractor was an experimental before Allis-Chalmers went into full production. Either way this is a RARE crawler to find! After several years of hibernating in the barn this Model M came to life after fresh gas, water and oil was introduced to the engine. The M was DRIVEN OUT OF THE BARN under its own power! One of the finest and EARLIEST examples of an Allis-Chalmers Model M you will find.

Following test number 82 at Nebraska in September of that year A-C rerated the tractor as the L 15-25. At 1,100 rpm the 280 cubic inch vertical four produced 21.42 hp at the drawbar and 33.18 on the belt. Two forward speeds of 2.3 mph and 3.1 mph and 3.1 mph in reverse were provided.Slow sales at the time due mainly to a glut of tractors competing for a limited market has made the L tractors highly collectible items today. During the entire production run from 1921 to 1927 only 1705 were produced. Those designated 12 - 20 may be the rarest of all. Beginning at sn. 20001 in 1921 by sn. 20134 the rating had been changed to 15 - 25. The L model was discontinued in 1927 at sn. 21705.

Rumely 30-60 S - EARLY

The Rumely Oil Pull tractor was produced by the Advance Rumely company from the turn of the century until 1930. During that time they became known for large, robust tractors which could produce reliable power on all grades of fuel.

This particular Rumely was bought new by a neighbor in Moore, MT before being purchased by the Tyler Family 50 years ago. There were only 514 Model S tractors produced and this one appears to be number 44. Don't miss out on an opportunity to buy a nice original Rumely 30-60 which will not take a whole lot of work to have running. Decals and paint are still visible on this tractor. All original and complete, the engine is free and turns over easy. You will travel several miles to find another Model S in this condition!
