No, but they sure are something aren't they? Saw my first Rumely as a kid in the early '60's in Bremen, IN. Wasn't an Oil Pull, was full on steam. A farmer came tooling up to the general store as I just walked out and rounded the corner. Man, that thing was as big as the building and belching steam. Must've been a 1000 times bigger than any Farmall or Allis this little kid was ever on. Dropped my candy, over the fence and through the corn field. Didn't stop running until I got home.

Try a Google on Rumely. I know there are sites for them, and whom would know better than a group of owners? Wouldn't surprise me if there isn't/wasn't even a museum and a few owners in LaPorte since is where they were made and didn't have to ship far. Good luck. They sure are something, them and Advance Steam. Wish I had one. Mmm Mmm Mmm. Now you've got my interest up. Wonder if is a museum in LaPorte...? Now, I must look.
