Patten Lumberman's Museum
Shin Pond Road
Patten, ME 04765

Notable for: first practical example of crawler-tread vehicles now used in agricultural, construction, and military equipment

More about . . .
This steam crawler-tractor emancipated horses from the killing work of hauling trains of sleds over iced roads in the winter woods of the United States and Canada.

Designed, patented (1901), and built by Alvin C. Lombard (1856-1937) of Waterville, Maine, eighty-three "Lombards" were the first practical examples of the often-tried lag or crawler tread that would become the mark of the internal combustion engine-driven agricultural and construction equipment and military tank in current use.

The Log Haulers
The Lombard steam log hauler was the original crawler type overland tractor. In 1901, Alvin Lombard was granted a patent on the track which would give wheels traction in the snow, and in that year he built the first power log hauler at the Waterville Iron Works in Waterville, Maine. This type of track was the ancestor of all crawler type tracks such as military tanks, bulldozers, tractors, etc. The first log haulers were steered by horses. Later, a steersman sat on the front of the sled, guiding the hauler by a large iron wheel that turned the runners. They had no brakes. The log haulers operated best on the roads formerly used by horses. The machine could haul 300 tons. The logs were hauled on sleds in trains of four to ten sleds. Their speed was 4 or 5 miles per hour and 20 miles per hour down hill. The haulers weighed from 10 to 30 tons. Eighty- three Lombard steam log haulers were made altogether. They were mostly used in Maine and New Hampshire but three went to Russia, and one each to Wisconsin and Michigan.
In 1911 or 1912, the Lombard Traction Engine Company developed a gasoline log hauler. This had a 6 cylinder engine rated at 100 horse power. The gasoline log hauler was patterned after the steam hauler in all important details except for the power source which eliminated the huge steam boiler and reduced the size considerably. This made it more maneuverable and faster. It was also lower in initial cost, could be driven by one man, and had brakes. However, it did not have the power that the steam log hauler had. In 1934, Lombard built a diesel engine hauler but trucks came into use about that time, so the new hauler was obsolete from the beginning. in 1901 at Waterville Iron Works, Waterville, Kennebec County, ME, USA.¹⁵
