Reply With QuoteThe first one is American in origin as it has no boiler cladding and has round spoked wheels and I guess it is a Buffalo Pitts brand.
The second one is a very early internal combustion machine and is most likely American too.

I love those old steam machines. I was brought up on a farm with tractors and associated gear. My uncle had one of those old traction engines, I remember he used to start it up every now and then just to keep it functional. It was almost if it was alive, puffing and hissing like a fire breathing dragon.

It is a Rumely Oil-pull. They were a very different concept. Too long to describe here. Do a google search. US origin from the Great Plains grain growing belt. Most of the great agricultural manufacturers originated there. John Deere, J.I.Case, Hart-Parr, Oliver, Twin Cities, International Harvester, McCormick, Minne-Mo and so on.Originally Posted by Pedro_The_Swift

1st one is most likely Buffalo Pitts or Case, a reasonable number of each made it to Aus.
The Americans didn't have anything to compare to the big Fowler plough engines though, 22nHP+, absolute monsters.
Nominal HP is distant from HP though, it was a ratio invented by the early English steam builders so their engines wouldn't raise the ire of the horse-minded (and it likely got them out of taxes too). Large Aussie steam locomotives could sustain 3000HP.
Here are some mid-sized traction engines in preserved action
