Dave, The Kerosene tractor caught my eye. I suppose that was pre-gasoline powered machinery. It is in contrast to the steam powered farm machinery in the Racine, WI 4th of July parade. They had quite a display of old equipment and faded manufacturers. Regards, Bob S. On Sun, Jul 21, 2013 at

That was actually a mid 20th century development, Kerosine was used as a lamp oil, for heating, and cooking, so it was available, and it's price didn't include a road tax in addition to being less expensive to produce. I believe the tractor had a dual fuel system, it was started using
