For your consideration is a Mamod TE1a Live Steam Tractor made in England in 1999. This item was around for 60+ years without a whole lot of changes. It was still in production until August 2024 when the company decided to close doors.https://www.mamod.co.uk/shop-categories/1313-traction-engine The site might be down now.At the current exchange rate, this was around $350 This Live Steam Tractor is as good as they come.It genuinely is in new condition.Unfortunately, the original box is missing. It has been air tested (video) and will operate on steam.You will need some solid fuel pellets (anywhere camping products are sold) and using solely distilled water is strongly recommended. As it truly is new condition (except for a bit of 25 years old dust), it has not been fired. It is complete (except for the original box) and all original.There is hardly anything negative to report about this beautiful tractor. Please select the shipping system that suits you best. Condition : This Live Steam Tractor is in new condition. I could not not call it "New Old Stock" as the original box is missing. Bummer. It has not been fired. It is complete (except for the original Box) and all original. It has been air tested (video) and will run on steam. There might be some cleaning due to the fact that it has been stored for 25 years, but it truly is in an exceptional condition. I would rate it a C8. VERY IMPORTANT : am offering four UPS shipping options. You can check the cost by clicking next to shipping on "See Details" or make your choice at take-out. The default is UPS Ground as Expedited Shipping can be expensive and is not necessarily more reliable. Please keep in mind that I do not control the cost of shipping that is calculated by eBay.Free pick-up is always available (Rock Hill, SC). After having several issues with USPS, I am not offering their service any longer, but, if you insist, I will ship USPS. Just know that the reliability for the arrival at destination in a timely fashion has been very poor as of late. LESS IMPORTANT : Items are packed and ready for shipping when I make the listing. Combined shipping cannot be done if one item is larger than 8 x 8 x 8 packed. If it is possible, smaller items can be combined upon request prior to the payment. Guarantee : Item is guaranteed to be as described. I am a very honest seller hoping to deal with honest buyers. If I know something is wrong, I will disclose it but I certainly can make an honest mistake and will do my very best to correct it. Warning : Many of these older collectibles are not in compliance with today's safety standards. It is the responsibility of the buyer to determine whether or not they are still suitable for their intended purpose. Adult supervision is indispensable with any steam engine. Packaging :Items are packed carefully and should remain undamaged through a standard level of care during handling. LIVING ESTATE SALE DETAILS :I had my first steam engine when I was 9 years old. That was 65 years ago. I have been collecting them for 25 years and I am now 74. None of my descendants is interested in the collection, so I decided that it was time to liquidate. As of December 2024, I still have over 1,300 engines of all kinds to list. I believe in full disclosure. It takes me about an hour to list one item, between the assessment, the testing, the video, the photos, the description and the very careful packaging. I try to have very reasonable prices. At comparable quality, my prices are probably the lowest on the market.
