The Rumely's were built in my hometown of La Porte, Indiana way back in the day. : ) The plant once employed thousands of local citizens. Most of you already know the plant was later bought and renamed Allis-Chalmers in 1931. Beautiful to see these old Majestic Ladies brought back to life! Thank you to all of you who help preserve history, and these amazing, historical machines that helped shape America!
My son and I would go occasionally to the Brookes Oregon Power Land, and one year during the afternoon parade there were 4 Rumely Oil Pulls in a row leading the rest. The rhythm that they became tuned to made me want to get to my feet and dance! I mention to the guy standing next to me there should be a brass band to lead them off, and we both had a good laugh. KL
You can't tell now but yes, on its way to a show it fell off of the trailer and landed on the clutch-pulley side. Many parts were destroyed but, as you can see he got it back up and running. A wonderful example of an early "E".
Thank you for this video. My Father was raised on a dairy farm in Crampton Ontario. I remember him telling me that the first tractor he ever drove was a Rumley Oil pull. I don't know which model though.
What kind of torque do these put out at the drive wheels vs the belt wheel? What's going on in the big green box in the very front of the tractor, aside from exhaust being diverted there? Is that essentially the radiator where the coolant oil is stored and cooled?
HighlanderNorth1 these early tractors often had two numbers after the model, in this case, 30 (horsepower at the drawbar) - 60 (horsepower at the belt pulley). The exhaust helps to induce an upward draft through the radiator, yes.
Claimed 60hp at the engine at 375 rpm converts to 840 foot-pounds. Tested at 76hp and that is 1,064 foot-pounds. The 30 at the drawbar would mean it takes 30hp just to turn the drive-train. :)
What's that? It looks like a steam engine, it sounds like a steam engine, hell it even smokes like a steam engine, so what on earth is it? It's the Rumley Oil Pull! 100 years and still chuggin!
+cdoublejj It's a two-cylinder outfit but fires differently than the others. Sounds like both pistons move in the same direction at the same time, not in opposite directions like the others.
Right on Max: My two Great uncles, aged 20 and 8 were killed when their Rumley Oil Pull tractor exploded and coated the boys and a neighbor kid with flaming kerosene.

Can you please tell me how you know so much information on the Rumley's ?? Thanks
Those old tractors were amazing. I love to see them at the threshing shows.
wonderful machine! happy to see such a marvel of engineering still chugging along today.

Love the sound of those Rumley’s.

My grandfather has one of these!
Music to my ears!
Nice Tractor and a Thumbs Up liked.
What a beautiful machine!!
awesome,greets from Belgium!!!
awesome video, thanks!
That's amazing how they had to farm back in the early days!
Eraly days? Horses and oxen.
State of the art
That sounds sooooooooo good
awesome video thanks
would like to have something like that, real cool
The starting is amezing
The "E" has a 10'' bore by a 12'' stoke, so a 30.9L displacement.
I'll add that it is a 360 degree crankshaft parallel twin. Later Rumleys had 180 degree crankshafts like used by John Deere twins later on.
now we know where the expression chugging along comes from
That was great!
so the roadhouse oil pull actually lives is it true that it fell off a truck and then restored?
1911 WOW!
Geez, you wouldn't want to get you foot caught in the flywheel......
Look at that flywheel really get cooking @2:17! lol
looks like two four stroke cylinders puffing one after the other every revolution.

i wish they made things this stout these days
What kind of torque do these put out at the drive wheels vs the belt wheel? What's going on in the big green box in the very front of the tractor, aside from exhaust being diverted there? Is that essentially the radiator where the coolant oil is stored and cooled?
The exiting gas causes a draft of air to flow in to replace it there for cooling the oil down

Nice!!!
You Can't fool me this is a 1908 Hoyt-Clagwell. Looks like that front wheel is about to drop right off there
Lol
is it a hit and miss governor?
Got to wonder how they could see where they were going, when moving forward.
Bruce M Carleton Jr they had GPS fitted as standard equipement
Bruce M Carleton Jr just jump off and run up front to look, hop on again when it caught up.
Grandpa, tell us how you lost your leg again?
What's that? It looks like a steam engine, it sounds like a steam engine, hell it even smokes like a steam engine, so what on earth is it?
It's the Rumley Oil Pull! 100 years and still chuggin!
It had 32 l displacement, didn't it?
Why did he stop the tractor and then start again? Maybe he has to stop to change gears?? Could you answer this thanks Brattman
Is this a giant 1 lunger or a multi cylinder?
+cdoublejj It's a two-cylinder outfit but fires differently than the others. Sounds like both pistons move in the same direction at the same time, not in opposite directions like the others.
Yep, that is correct. The Model E had both pistons moving together. Eagle tractors and International Titans were like this as well.
Do they fire at the same time or is it 180 from each other
@@joshb124 crank is 360' ie both pistons go back and forth together, so it has a power stroke every revolution
What was this burning?
To many people have lost legs doing this.
@Albert6541 no its throttle governed
I think the 30-60 Hart Parr was hit and miss governed. Not completely sure.
OilHist Correct. The ‘Old Reliable’ was a hit and miss engine.
Why do you all use foot. Is that dangerous
What happened at 2:11 ???
Why feet
Yes,,,, but can it do a burn out ????
alguém do brasil ?
0:49 It was burning kerosene!
It's slower than my friends Aultman-Taylor 22-45, and I thought that wasn't possible haha.
close enough
Rusiškas traktorius ir tai greičiau riedėjo
will it fit in my honda?
Not really, but your Honda may well fit in it.
@ike fun r/woosh
ok i pull up
It's scary.
Right on Max: My two Great uncles, aged 20 and 8 were killed when their Rumley Oil Pull tractor exploded and coated the boys and a neighbor kid with flaming kerosene.
Put into this 2jz from Supra
WTF is a plow ???
It's funny because the music industry is failing.
