At the time of the closing, a new one was around $350.
Please select the shipping system that suits you best.
Condition :
This Live Steam Tractor is in good to very good condition.
It has been air tested (video) and should not give much trouble to operate on steam.
It is complete, including the box that has a few moisture stains on top (photo).
It is all original.
It has been fired a few times, but not very many.
There are several spots of paint flaking, particularly on the banner of the canopy (photo).
Other than that, there is hardly any corrosion.
I would rate it a C6/C7.
VERY IMPORTANT : I am offering four UPS shipping options. You can check the cost by clicking next to shipping on "See Details" or make your choice at take-out. The default is UPS Ground as Expedited Shipping can be expensive and is not necessarily more reliable. Please keep in mind that I do not control the cost of shipping that is calculated by eBay.
Free pick-up is always available (Rock Hill, SC).
I will not ship USPS any longer.
If you like FedEx, it can be arranged.
LESS IMPORTANT : Items are packed and ready for shipping when I make the listing. Combined shipping cannot be done if one item is larger than 8 x 8 x 8 packed. If it is possible, smaller items can be combined upon request prior to the payment.
Guarantee :
Item is guaranteed to be as described. I am a very honest seller hoping to deal with honest buyers. If I know something is wrong, I will disclose it but I certainly can make an honest mistake and will do my very best to correct it.
Warning :
Many of these older collectibles are not in compliance with today's safety standards. It is the responsibility of the buyer to determine whether or not they are still suitable for their intended purpose. Adult supervision is indispensable with any steam engine.
Packaging :
Items are packed carefully and should remain undamaged through a standard level of care during handling.
LIVING ESTATE SALE DETAILS :
I had my first steam engine when I was 9 years old. That was 66 years ago. I have been collecting them for 25 years and I am now 75.
None of my descendants is interested in the collection, so I decided that it was time to liquidate.
As of June 2025, I still have over a thousand engines of all kinds to list. I believe in full disclosure. It takes me about an hour to list one item, between the assessment, the testing, the video, the photos, the description and the very careful packaging.
I try to have very reasonable prices. At comparable quality, my prices are probably the lowest on the market.
