gary bowen wrote on Tuesday, September 10, 2013 (PDT):I read this on another web site; If an Oil Pull has the old Du4 American bosch mag on, be sure it is safe and has a good winding and good impulse. You could be killed outright with a bad impulse on an old Du4 or a Du2. You can replace these with the new MFR or a MJA-c American Bosch magneto. How can it kill you Thanks gb

Bob wrote on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 (PDT):I borrowed an old Rumley that a neighbor had buried in his barn to build a dam in my pasture. It sure wasn t the light weight . It compacted the dam very well and it is still there. I used it in about 1956-7. I have a picture of one like it threshing oats in Renton. Wa. in about 1980.

I enjoy running it every year at the Rock River Thresheree. Does anyone have time to chat about running the old girl. I generally dont have any problems starting her, when she is cool or shaded, thanks Mr. Standish for that info, I was wondering if the heat of the day was a factor, and I do think it is . Just looking for some fine tuning or general operational information, thanks.

Homer H. Kurth wrote on Tuesday, March 28, 2006 (PST):In the summer of 1938 I pitched many bundle of wheat into a threshing machine powered by a Rumley Oil Pull. Tom, the owner of the Rumley, was rather careless when filling the water tank of the Rumley. He simply dipped water out of stock tank and filled the supply tank. Sometimes he might get a grasshopper or two or perhsps some moss in with the water. That meant that on occsion as we were thresshing wheat, the Rumley would lose power because somehing had plugged the water line. The result was that the Rumley would overheat, since it was not receiving water with the fuel to cool the engine sufficiently. So we pitchers would get a rest until Tom got the grasshopper, or whatever else might have plugged the line, out.

Cecil wrote on Thursday, November 06, 2003 (PST):There is an oil pull Rumley on display in the town of Miles, Texas which is in SW Central Texas. It is at the entrance to the town and fronts on US Hwy 67N. I think it belongs to a family named Schwertner, but am not sure. The local tractor/trader type in Miles is Wendell Arrington and I am sure he could tell a person anything they might want to know about the tractor if they would call him or write him at PO Box, Miles, Tx 76861.
