Photo courtesy of the Manitoba Agricultural Museum. The Smallacombe - Sims Hart Parr 30-60 in the museum’s collection is seen here sometime in the early 1920s as it powers a threshing machine in the field. Of all the tractors and steam engines in the collection, this is the only photo the Museum has in its possession that shows a tractor in the collection actually working in the field.

At the 2016 Threshermen’s Reunion and Stampede, Mr. David Stemler asked a Manitoba Agricultural Museum volunteer where the 30-60 Hart Parr tractor donated by the Sims Brothers was on the grounds. While taking Mr. Stemler to the tractor, Mr. Stemler identified himself to the volunteer as a descendant of Will Smallacombe who purchased this tractor when it was new. Mr Stemler indicated he may have a photo of the 30-60 at work on the Smallacombe farm. The volunteer then asked if he would consider donating a digital copy of this photo to the museum. A digital copy was received by the Museum several days later and is the image seen here of a Hart Parr 30-60 powering a threshing machine.
