Old timer maps a steam threshing rig toward Portage
A crowd of Manitoba veterans watched D C Carrothers of Austin steer an old time steam threshing outfit to Portage la Prairie for a fair. The journey, 21 miles, would take about 13 hours with tires burned for fuel. The mobile display aims to form a steam machine museum and reflects a shift to gasoline engines for big farm work.
