They didn't have stockpiles of parts, they had people who knew how to make new parts custom fit to the vehicle. While machine tools existed at the time, they were manually controlled and didn't have the fine tolerances necessary to make interchangeable components. So, instead, they had to make what they needed specifically to fit that that particular engine.

Also, just a word of advice, take it or leave it, try to re-rubber those drive wheels. Hard rubber will flake off & excessive vibrations may cause a premature failure of the steam engine, or its drive train. Just a thought. Love what you are doing guys, have fun!

    @@Pilotfox123 150hp is still a very low figure for a vehicle so incredibly heavy. And 150hp is on the upper end of the spectrum, most of these tractors had less than 100hp. And since a 150hp Honda civic can’t tow tens of thousands of pounds, there is clearly something else at play that allows steam tractors to tow so much weight. That is, their immense traction and their high wheel torque thanks to gearing.

I was just saying that compared to modern tractors, vehicles of its own class, it still has a pretty good ammount of horsepower if not more. Of course any average street car or truck is gonna have more horsepower than it, but thats no fair comparison. Now where the actual pulling power comes from is an entirely different and more complex subject than how much hp something has
