Might be a cable pull engine? Jim

A Fowler ploughing engine (steam traction engine)
from the UK. Some of the largest UK built traction
engines. They worked in pairs (they were handed,
left and right) and used the cable drums to haul a
(usually) 6 furrow reversible plough back and forth.
Also used for harrowing and dredging ponds and
lakes. Not sure where it is but if it?s still there it
should be worth rescuing. Sam

Yipee I was correct. Amazing it lasted through metal drives during war. Jim

I could be wrong but I think many were still in use through WW2. I think coal was more available than petrol. Sam

And this is what it would look like with a little tin of polish.
Here is a link to a Youtube video of a Fowler system plowing.
