[Steam-engine] Steam Plows

[Mike Rohrer]

Thanks for the picture.
It is a Geiser engine with a steam lift plow. I know of no steam lift plows
from any company. There are some large gang plows; Willis has a 20 bottom
plow that he got from Austin Monk when he got his Z3 Geiser. They both are
in Somerset Virginia. I don't know whose plows they used for the Rumley
show. I think there were 3 or 4 sets to make the 50 bottom.

    I have sent Mike the picture and I have tried to post it to the mailing 
list.  It may be too large to post to the list.  If anyone else would like a

picture emailed directly to them send me an email.
