Don't know if this is any help or not,but I got out the Encyclopedia of American Farm Tractors and flipped through the first few pages to see if I could find any other names for them. Advance Rumly had the Oil Pull of course,but they had one called a Gas Pull as well. The Adams Husker Company of Marysville Ohio had something called a "Little Traction Gear". It was a unit that came without an engine. You added your own. American-Abel Engine & Thresher Company had what looked like a tractor but they called it a Universal Farm Motor. There was the Gramont traction Plow,but that was kind of a self propelled plow. Same thing with the Hackney Auto Plow. Interesting that there was a Hackney Corn-Planter too. It wasn't actually a corn planter,but a row crop tractor that wasn't called a "tractor". Was that the kind of thing you were looking for? None of those companies really called them a "tractor" at that time. Guess Hart Parr hadn't coined the phrase yet. Acording to that book,Hart Parr first used the term Tractor in their advertising in 1907. Didn't go very far into the book to see if there were any other different names.
