Was told a long time ago about event where 2 T's were on teeter totter device and somehow moved back and forth to rock the balance . Kind of competition somehow .
Anybody have pics or video of such a thing ??
Thanks !!!

Looks fun as well as frustrateing ...
Thanks ..
The way the device in the video is constructed, balance is virtually impossible.
We used to do that at some of our MOAL meets here. With the clutch and reverse pedal situated as they are, it is pretty easy to get a T to balance on a teeter-totter device. Many of the guys got real good at it. It was a timed contest. Sorry I don't have any pictures to share.
i know that a teeter totter is a common attraction at steam tractor shows.
This is the TT that was at the Centennial in Richmond 2008
