Rumely

The story of Rumely began in 1853, originating in La Porte, Indiana, with the production of threshing machines. The company's expertise then expanded into the realm of steam engines. A pivotal moment arrived in 1910 with the debut of the OilPull – the company's pioneering internal combustion tractor, distinguished by its innovative oil-cooled engine. A subsequent union with the Advance Thresher Company in 1911 resulted in a name change to Advance-Rumely. As the late 1920s unfolded, Advance-Rumely sought to broaden its appeal with the introduction of the DoAll and the 6A, aimed at the growing demand for smaller tractors, though this proved challenging. Ultimately, in 1931, Allis-Chalmers acquired Advance-Rumely, bringing an end to the production of all its tractor lines.
