This is amazing.. I didn't know about the gray drum drive tractor, until a month an a half ago. I was taking a walk behind the elevators on the U of M's transitway, and I found an old dilapadated building. On the side, in faded paint, it said Gray Drum Drive Tractor Company. It looked like it was a beautiful building at one time, Anyway, I googled the gray drum drive tractor. It's amazing what you can run across when you aren't looking for anything in particular :)
My dad had one on our farm at Griswold, Manitoba. He scrapped it about 1943 and the only part remaining was the large rear wheel drum, which he upended and used to support a fuel tank. My memory of the tractor is vague, but the wheel I remember well. I was three when it was scrapped. If not evident in the pic, the rear wheel is one large drum with spike lugs bolted on across the whole width.
Хорошо, но мало! Нахрена ж вообще было выкладывать эти пять секунд?

the rear wheel kind of reminds me of one of those road construction tractors that smoothes the pavement out.

Now there's one I've never seen or heard of before. Interesting.
