A Stuart S50 I bought on eBay. After restoration. Unfortunately the original machinist didn't do a great job, and it binds when things are tightened up.

The Hornsby Chain-Track Tractor is the ancestor of all "caterpillars". After some petroleum-powered prototypes, in 1909 a steam-powered unit was sold for work in the Yukon Territories, where oil was scare but coal and water abundant. The steam engine (Boiler and machine aggregate) was delivered by William Foster, of Lincoln. The track system and steering was created by David Roberts at Hornsby Co.
The Roberts patent rights were sold to the Holt Co in early 1914, which was in 1925 absorbed into the Caterpillar Co.
Today, only the chain tracks of the Hornsby Steam Crawler have survived.
There is a breathtaking live steam model of this tractor at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hvzBofFfzA which helped me a lot in figuring out the right proportions.
Photo taken at the 45th Annual Buckley Old Engine Show where the newly refurbished and restored little train made its debut this summer. This miniature steam-powered locomotive used to be at Clinch Park in downtown Traverse City. Two years ago, the Spirit of Traverse City was deeded to the Northwest Michigan Engine & Thresher Club, which started the annual Old Engine Show back in 1967. Since then, volunteers have completely restored the engine and cars from top to bottom and laid out a track, complete with an enclosed trestle.
Dierks Forest Service # 360 on display at Queen Wilhelmina State Park, Arkansas. It is a 4-6-0 built in 1920 by ALCO.
This is a Reeves steam engine. My grandfather, along with 5 other farmers in the area, pooled their resources and bought one very much like this, only most likely it was smaller.
They sold it to someone, and then, during the 1950s and 60s, it was shown at the Old Threshers Reunion. Then it disappeared.
My brother, Dave, by coincidence, ran into a man at this year’s Reunion, who had the complete story on our Grandfather’s engine. The Reeves engine was pushing 100 years. It is being restored and maybe we’ll see it next year.
