Portable Steam Engines, Traction Engines & Tractors at Antique Powerland

The Great Oregon Steam-Up’s main purpose is the gathering and display of portable steam engines, steam traction engines, and tractors. The Antique Powerland organization related to portable steam engines and traction engines is the Western Steam Fiends while the organization related to tractors is Branch 15 of the Early Day Gas Engine & Tractor Association.

Here is a video of Traction Engines in operation at the Great Oregon Steam-Up on August 4, 2007.

Traction Engines at Antique Powerland on August 4, 2007

I have grouped my pictures of tractors and traction engines by manufacturer, but first, here are some unknown and mixed-group pictures from the Great Oregon Steam-Up on August 4, 2007.

I don't know much about this early three-wheeled tractor, as it did not seem to have any name on it, nor did it have a sign. A search of the internet failed to find anything that looked close enough to be a positive match, though there were several manufacturers that made similar tractors.
