1. There were many, like hundreds, of manufacturers of tractors in the US post-WWI

Many were steam driven, the wheels without rubber, just iron cleats bolted on. (I have such a wheel).

Entertaining video to see WWI soldiers walking around again.

4. K&R! Very cool!

Both of my grandfathers served in WWI, my paternal grandfather on horseback, brought ammunition to the front. I never did meet either of them, though, they both died long before I was born.
