Thank you for sharing this extremely rare machine that we many of us would not have had the opportunity to see in person.

This 1919 12-24 Russell Tractor was Previously Owned by Verner Hensel of Ohio Illinois who originally Restored It from a Pretty Sad State as it was missing the Roof, Hood, and Radiator when he found it, along with the Engine being Stuck. . . When he restored it, he repainted everything Except where he Masked it off around the Original BULL Decals that were still in pretty good shape other than being slightly faded. . . It was a Regular Feature at the Stephenson County Antique Engine Club's Annual Threshing Show's throughout the 1970s. . . I lost track of it after that, only to find it again a couple decades later at the Sycamore IL Threshing Show in the early 2000's . . . If Not for Verner somehow finding a Radiator for it and making the other parts to put it together in the Late 60s Early 70s, this tractor would Not Exist Today.

FYI: I got This Information from the Stephenson County Antique Engine Club's 10th Anniversary "Picture Book" printed in 1979. . . At the 2:00 mark in the video you will see Verner's name on the sign confirming that.

The late Willis Smith of Oregon had a Russell tractor (I don't recall the size) that he ran at The Great Oregon Steam-Up in the 70's.

I'm from Massillon and have been studying the history of Russell & Co. I understand that a Russell 1917 30-60 gas tractor sold on eBay on Sept 22, 2004 for $262,500.00.

Not sure about the size but I know of a Russell tractor like this one at the Rock River Thresheree inbetween Janesville and Edgerton Wisconsin. It has been at that show every year for as long as I can remember.

At 4600 lbs, it has half as much power as your zero-turn.

We have two lathes, each with 480 volt 100 horsepower motors driving the headstock. One requires 300 kva, the other 60. Guess which one is *actually* 100 horsepower?
