Rumely Oil Pull – napdesign heritage

Kevin Behnke and his wife Wendy showed their Rumely Oil Pull at the 38th Annual Edgar Steam Show held August 26-28, 2011.  Crowds gathered around to see the Rumely power the threshing demonstration on Saturday.  It was a neat experience to climb on board this huge machine as it rattled and shook with power! I especially enjoyed the booming sound of the exhaust puffing clouds of smoke – it was the kind of deep sound that you can feel in your chest! The following short video clips do not do it justice; if you haven’t already, I recommend being next to one in person or better yet, getting on one! Here are the photos and clips I captured of Kevin and his Rumely Oil Pull during the threshing demonstration and in the parade.
