Might possibly be the very rare Essex (RSO) Tri-Directional. The model RSO meant "rawhide steering option". It was used in the far north latitudes where regular steering gears would freeze up. I think some of the early north pole explorers used them. Story goes that after the expeditions the tractors were left there and are now buried under snow and ice. Some northern pineapple farmers near Jake's Corner, Yukon were rumored to have salvaged a few and used them for many years. No pictures are available which is a sad thing. In fact, the whole ETD saga is a sad story (along with those of us who keep retelling it).
