@ibrahimdeniz7308 no this is done on purpose for the show. This is a steam traction engine with a fire heating a boiler full of water to create power and motion. For show purposes they build a hot fire and throw sawdust on it, put the tractor under load, and that turns the blower up for the fire box pushing lots of air and taking lots of sparks with it.

Yes it was. It was the show in 2023.

Sorry - I do not. I am sure it was on the paperwork that I had at the time.... but that was 10 years ago.

It might be easier to say what I don't have. I don't have the front of the frame, the hitch, the rear wheel weights, I think I have most everything else.

1917 was when this version was originally built. The only part that survived was the transmission case and thr gearing..... the rest of this tractor was fabricated based on a couple of paragraphs out of an engineering notebook. No known photos exist of this version. I know there were photos of a later version, and I believe there are of an earlier version. So.... is it new or is it old? 😀

Well, I will need to try that now.....

I was multi-tasking. The carb was having an intermittent issue that wasn't showing up with the tractor stationary. I did start put that way.

It was an excellent show and an interesting venue.

The early Ds such as this one had priming cups. Its in the manual to prime them with gas and it makes these early ones start so much easier. The Primer cups went away in the 1930s and by that time the carburetors were much better and overall easier to start.

No the paint is not stock. Lol I wish it was still in the original as found condition, as I have seen pictures of it.... but I can't control what someone did with it before I owned it.

You don't like my factory optional spark arrestor? I'd hardly call that suffocating. In fact many find these tractors run better with them.

Actually it burned "distillate" after it was started up on gas. Once warmed up it was switched over. Also kerosene is not oil from corn. It is a fossil fuel just like diesel or gasoline. Most people that are working these tractors these days mix diesel and kerosene to use in place of distillate.

Kerosene is made from oil but some of it used to be made from coal. That's why it was referred to as Coal Oil.

I sold this setup about 9 years ago. I do not know what the pins are now, nor do I have a picture. Sorry.

@@HotRodTractor do you know where I can get diagram info for it?

@@ProfoundOverland I lucked out and received a paper copy from Workhorse with the motor. There is an off chance I might still have a digital copy, but it will be a while before I can look as I believe that is in storage. If I even have it.
