This 1925-vintage Keck & Gonnerman steam tractor generates 19 horsepower. It was built at the Keck-Gonnerman factory in Mount Vernon, Indiana, way down in the southwestern tip of the state.


Keck-Gonnerman got into the steam engine business in the 1870s and was a major employer in the area before finally being sold off in the 1950s.
