The foregoing description of the J. I. Case Traction Engine will apply
to this engine in every particular with the exception of the boiler,
the construction of engine, the traction gear and fittings being
exactly the same.
The boiler however is of the return flue, straw-burner type It is
supplied with a large steam dome on front end and also a mud drum
on under side. The fire box is at the rear end of main flue, and is
covered by an ash pan. The boiler is lagged and jacketed, and the stack
has a screen spark arrester at the top. This engine is intended to burn
straw, but it will burn either wood or coal equally well, and is said
to be very economical in fuel.
