Overview

A black & white photo of a very large tractor or oil-pull/traction engine with a woman in the driver's seat holding the steering wheel.
The two wheels front & back are not rubber covered. Large metal cleats are on the large back wheel and some thin covering on the front.
This photo has been cut down into a circle shape from original size.

Historical information

Based on the mechanical design of the oil-pull/traction engine and the historical timeline of early agricultural mechanization in Western Australia, it likely dates back to the early 20th century (most likely between the 1910s and 1920s).
