A vintage 8mm film clip from Jordan, Minnesota, in 1969 captures a green steam-powered tractor with red-rimmed wheels at an outdoor agricultural event. The machine, likely a thresher or steam engine, stands on dry grass under a clear sky, with a group of people in casual 1960s attire observing. A handwritten note confirms the event as the Scott & Carver Counties Old Threshing Bee on September 27, 1969. The footage shows the machine in operation, with individuals interacting around it, showcasing rural Americana and early 20th-century farming technology. The film exhibits natural grain and color fading typical of Super 8 home movies.
