What is the tractor on this postcard?

SweetFeet · Jan 25, 2015

Bought this postcard from 1919 (flag still had 48 stars) on ebay for 99 cents.

Just curious what the tractor is - if anyone knows, I'd appreciate knowing the ID.

Just a guess would be a Rumley (sp) oil pull.

Looks likeum an Avery, by the shape of the round radiator in the front of picture and the curved back of cab. I have never bean wrong, just mistaken a few times.

First thing to come to mind is COD.

i agree its a Rumley oil pull

GreenEnvy · Jan 25, 2015

My vote is for the Avery. Rumelys from every picture I have ever seen had a square radiator.

Definitely an Avery, but all I know on size is that it's neither an 8-16 nor a 40-80.

Looks like an Avery, some had a hood and automotive type radiator, later models or an factory upgrade, not sure.

25-50 Avery..Doesnt look big enough to be a 40-80..

1206SWMO · Jan 25, 2015

Heres a 25-50 Avery in a great collection about 100 miles from me..Theres an 18-36 Avery to the left of it which you cant see.

Thats just a drawing so it doesent need to resemble any thing built

SweetFeet · Jan 25, 2015

Thanks for the replies, everyone.

After looking up images of both the Rumely Oil Pull and looking at the Avery's posted here... I think it looks like the Avery.

Thanks, again.

I'm not one to say I told you so. But you heard it from me first on saying its an Avery.

I am impressed someone came up with COD, thats not a common breed. The COD's were supposedly built by a former Avery engineer after he left the company, which was why they looked so much like the Avery. I would still say Avery though, Note the Avery self lift plow as well.
