[Wade Bros. MTM 35-70 tractor]
The Janesville Gazette, 1958

This towering gasloing powered tractor, owned by the Wade Brothers, Whitewater, will be put through its snorting, lumbering paces this weekend at the big Steam Thresheree being held north of Janesville at the John Horton farm. Resembling the steam powered units popular when it was built, this early day tractor sports a huge radiator and fan, mounted sideways, on the front end. The huge engine is mounted just in front of the steering wheel. As small boys will, Mickey, 8, and Frankie, 7, Fulton, climbed the high rear wheel for a better look.
