phildirt Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 A young man by the name of Scott Lester, Centerville, NY, owned a Farquhar steam traction engine and showed it at many antique tractor shows about 10 years ago.Don't know if he still owns it, but he seemed to consider himself an expert on the Farquhar.Good luck Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29185-farquhar-steam-tractor/#findComment-155265 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent D Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Glad to hear that a Farquhar is being restored. I used to run a Geiser "Peerlees" that had the boiler replaced by Farquhar. They made great boilers. What is your pressure rated at? Best of luck.
