ENGINE DETAIL

The Advance-Rumely DoAll tractor features a robust Waukesha 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a displacement of 173.2 cubic inches, optimizing low-end torque for agricultural applications at a rated RPM of 1400. The liquid-cooled vertical L-head design provides efficient temperature management, crucial for prolonged use and preventing overheating, although maintenance of the coolant system is essential. The bore and stroke configuration (3.50x4.50 inches) allows for a good balance of power output and durability, making it suitable for various field tasks, though its performance may be limited in high-RPM applications compared to modern tractors.

ADVANCE-RUMELY DOALL ENGINE

The Advance-Rumely DoAll tractor, powered by a Waukesha 2.8L 4-cylinder gasoline engine, offers a compact yet powerful solution for various agricultural tasks due to its efficient fuel combustion. With a 15-gallon fuel tank, it provides reasonable operational range, making it suitable for medium-sized fields or tasks requiring moderate power without frequent refueling. However, potential challenges include limited horsepower relative to larger models, which may hinder performance in heavy-duty applications.

TRANSMISSION

The Advance-Rumely DoAll tractor features a two-speed forward and one-speed reverse gear system, allowing for versatile operation in varied agricultural environments. Its limited gear range may challenge performance in steep terrains but provides excellent maneuverability for smaller plots. Ideal for tasks requiring precision, such as tilling or cultivating, the DoAll is effective in low-speed operations but may struggle with high-speed fieldwork.

Gears 2 forward and 1 reverse

MECHANICAL

The Advance-Rumely DoAll features a 4x2 2WD chassis, providing basic traction suited for flat terrain but limiting performance in muddy or uneven conditions. Its manual steering offers simplicity and low maintenance but requires more physical effort from the operator, especially during extended operations. The 2-speed gear transmission allows for versatility in speed selection, enhancing efficiency for different tasks, albeit with potentially slower response times compared to modern hydrostatic systems.

ADVANCE-RUMELY DOALL TIRES

The Advance-Rumely DoAll tractor features a robust steel construction with 26x5 front and 42x7 rear agricultural wheels, optimizing traction and stability for diverse field conditions. The larger rear tires provide enhanced lifting capacity and improved maneuverability, making it ideal for heavy tilling and plowing tasks. However, the all-steel design may result in increased overall weight, potentially affecting transport speeds and fuel efficiency.
