  • In the late 60's Dad had a farm outside Dayton, Ohio. Dad would store his friend's steam engine. When the time came, we would use it with the Gehl Silo blower to fill the silo. I was on top the silo, distributing the silage, when I looked over and found the barn roof on fire. Apparently the sparks from the steam engine started the fire. I ran down the silo, and we put it out quickly.

  • @userunavailable3095 Last weekend they had this engine at the Dover steam show in Dover, Ohio

  • @wurlitzer153duplex Wow, I was just up there last weekend. I wish I'd seen it.

  • @EthanCollier01 nope, this one's owned by Ervin Hershberger of Holmes County, Ohio. This engine (a 21-75) and a bigger one (23-90) are equipped with rubber treads to travel between silo-filling jobs. The text on the canopy reads "Goin' Fillin".

  • Wow! I thought Amish folk didn't use steam engines or any kind of powered transportation. This was very interesting.
