Not your usual 2-wheeled tractor

This is real. Several companies made them.



Do you recognize it?

Photos in use to come later.

Interesting. I would like to see a YouTube video to see how it worked.

Like many early tractors, it was a replacement for horses.

Remember these?

Horse-drawn, steam-powered-pump, fire engines.



The two wheeled tractors replaced the horses and front axle, leaving the rest of the fire engine the same.

As Mike Perry says, firefighters like their toys!

Thanks for the pics. I bet it took a real man to operate that steering wheel. I know how bad it is ti steer a John Deere A w/o power steering.
