Old Tractor
In front of the old St. Johns County Jail there sits on display an old steam-powered tractor. I found it really cool because of the way the steering operated and all the gear reduction from the engine to the huge rear wheels. Basically a corkscrew twists a chain around to move the vehicle to either side by pulling the (mostly wood) front axle. I am sure the ride quality was awesome with the solid iron wheels and absolutely no padding or absorbers anywhere.
