Here's One for Nick!
« on: May 31, 2021, 04:33:45 pm »
We went to a small local engine show over the weekend.  It was pretty much rained out, but there were some full sized steam traction engines and this old tractor caught my eye.  I don't know anything about old tractors, except that this did not look like any of the common ones I see at shows.

Cool machinery.  Transverse might be more efficient for a power-take-off.
Huber is the name on it, I see.  Hmmmmm.

What are the chances.

I have a model engine/boiler combo that is engraved 'MADE IN USA BY J HUBER SEPT 1926'.
The seller only knew it was in his West coast family for a long time and that J Huber
was distant uncle.

There is a seat on this tractor, but you have to stand to see over the engine!

I'm glad they corrected that issue 😄
