Katanning vintage tractor collector and restorer Mal Beeck will be at this month's Katmach Vintage Fair and will bring along a few "old girls", including this Rumely DoAll Oil Pull tractor was made by the Advance-Rumely Company between 1910 and 1930. Most models were powered by kerosene-burning engines. To start the tractor, the driver had to climb on the flywheel and use his bodyweight to get the flywheel turning, then rush back on the driver's platform to adjust the choke.
