Building the crankshaft for the 150 Case Steam Engine

Machining a new shaft and pin from 4140, cutting keyways, and installing onto crank disc with .005" fit.

Awesome kory! I’m a 42 year old machinist in East Tennessee. Learned the trade as a teenager and then took advantage of the training while in the Army when we wasn’t deployed to Iraq. This engine build you did on the thing is absolutely awesome

I haven't had the joy of working with men in overalls for 50 years. Treasure every moment Kory.

Kory, Dad and the rest of the crew have well deserved smiles on their faces. This type of work does not come with “do overs”. In nearly fifty years of machine work, this can be the most nerve racking.It is one pitch, and you are either a hero or a zero.

What you fellers accomplished is beyond fantastic... My Case history book featured the “ Road locomotive “ and I’d never thought I would see one rolling coal.Very nicely done!

They should build the most custom built most genius book of record to make the worlds largest case traction locomotive road engine instead of it being a 150 why not make one a 11,500hp with the worlds largest boiler that will work to spec and size to an idea that would be nice to be built and with inclosed cab and have it tested and break the record of how many plows it can pull for a anniversary of case IH
