Rumely Oil Pull

The Rumely Oil Pull was a super strong tractor that helped farmers a long, long time ago. It was made between 1909 and 1930. These tractors were built to be tough and could pull heavy things on the farm. They were like the workhorses of their time, helping to grow food for everyone.

Starting this tractor was an adventure! It had a big, heavy wheel. The driver would step on the wheel and push it to get it spinning. Then, they had to jump back into the driver's seat super fast to make sure the engine kept going! It was like a tricky game of tag with a giant machine!

These tractors had a special engine that could run on kerosene, which was like a special kind of fuel. It could work even when it was pulling something really heavy. This meant farmers could get more work done, faster and easier, than they could with horses or by hand.

The Rumely Oil Pull is like a piece of history that shows us how farming used to be. It's amazing to think about how these big machines helped build farms and feed families. They were a big step forward in making farming easier for people.
