A fellow near Great Falls Mt had a collection of steamers and crawlers. His Dad started with steamers, went to IH crawlers. When son took over he used crawlers until he went to big 4 x 4's. They used the big crawlers because they were the biggest tractors then. They usually pulled 36 or more feet of cultivators. After he passed away, his girls leased out the farm, kept some of his antique machinery. They try to have a show in September.

He said he ran one just like it during WWII in the Philipean (sp) Islands. Still gives me a thrill to think about him dragging howitzers through the mud there!

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
