there is a real story there, and I'm not sure of what it is. like, what is the tank over the front of the engine? and, the thrasher has a block in front of the back wheel, but it would seem that thrashing would be very unhandy in that position. maybe taking the thrasher out of the barn?
 
I wish I could see the logo on the tool box. My first thought was Hart-Parr in the fact that it shares some design similarities. My second thought was Russel or Garr-Scott based solely on the possible logo. None of these seem correct. The separator is definitely a hand fed unit which was often set up neat or in the barn to simplify handling of straw. Note the large tables at the mouth of the cylinder. I would agree that the slope of the machine would make threshing more difficult, but not impossible.
 
Its not a steam engine. It is a upright single cylinder gasoline engine tractor built by Huber Manufacturing Co. of Marion, Ohio. Huber took over production of
this machine in 1898 from the Van Duzen Co. which designed this style in 1894.
The upper most tank is the gravity fed gasoline tank, the large "can" below it is the muffler, and the pipe next to that is the intake port that leads to the
mixer (carburettor). Just visible out in front of the engine is the tank that holds the water to cool the engine.

If trying to back it in the chain steering in thos eold machines was something less than sloppy backing would quite a feet in them. Driving forward was not much better.
