I had no idea what the proper name is for this automobile so I just called it Chuga-chuga – what the heck, that’s the sound it made.
It’s a Rumely Oilpull tractor,sold by the Advance-Rumely Thresher Co Ltd, from Laporte, Ind. The Rumely Oil Pull was a line of farm tractors developed by Advance-Rumely Company from 1910 to 1930. Most were very large tractors powered by kerosene-burning engines. The engine was designed to burn all kerosene grades at any load.
