I took this video at the National Threshers Reunion at Wauseon Ohio on June 28th 2008. This Reeves is steam tractor used for plowing in the prairie provinces in Canada. It has 32 horsepower on the drawbar and 120 horsepower off the belt pulley.
Our family owned this Reeves and plowed from 1920 through 38 with it at near Lewistown, Montana. I played many hours on it as a boy when it set, derelict after WWII. I had the privelege of engineering it in 1994 at the 50th NTA. Thanks for posting the video!

well, no offense. But you should listen more. Here the announcer say it came off of a steam boat.
