[SEL] Nice Wheels

[Peter Scales]

I can remember, as a child of ten or eleven, watching a pair of Fowler BB's
(steam tractors, look here, 3rd pic -
http://www.oldglory.co.uk/archive/30nov05/ft3.htm) plowing the 20-acre field
behind our house.  This would have been in 1966 or 1967, well after the end
of WWII.  As I recall, this working pair used to plow fields,  dredge pools
and pull out stumps for many years after that.  I do not know if they are
still working, but they almost certainly still exist.

Regards

     Pete
