First Plowing Kory Anderson Case 150 HP Road Locomotive Steam Engine James Valley Threshers 2018

[@organbuilder272]

No flat tires for this puppy. What a beautiful sight. Steam Power forever.

[@lawnmowermanlawnmowerman9930]

This massive tractor just proves the innovative abilities of those who came before us. They were some very smart people.

[@uralbob1]

My lord, what a big old girl! Thanks to all who restored her for posterity!

[@HaddaClu]

Wasnt a restoration; its a new build based off of the original plans, with some slight tweaking to account for modern materials.

[@uralbob1]

Wow! I've never seen that! Thanks!

[@mikezahnow1605]

After over 10 years and many man hours later, my congratulations to the men who brought this tractor back. Only 8 or 9 made in the early 1900s and all were lost. It's breathtaking to actually see the largest steam tractor working again. I just wish I was able to go to the show and see it in person.

[@poplarpicker8034]

It'll be at rollag next year. I don't know how close you are

[@kylebuchmann8585]

I'm a hr and 7 minutes away its big up close

[@vannorman1116]

Mike Zahnow ....I'm curious. ..how were they "Lost"

[@francisshook1427]

@@vannorman1116 most had failed gear trains and were sent back to Case, the boilers were converted to skid mounted boilers and the parts lost to time over 90 years. One engine survived in some form as a boiler that was converted to a water tank close to the mine it was working at. All drive trains eventually lost. There are endless legends surounding the status of the parts and boilers but everything seemed to dead end. If memories serve right engine 666 boiler is the sole surviving part. There are pictures of the engine clearly showing its number being tested at the factory. This was a colossal build considering the size of the parts and the sheer lack of original engineering data. All engines were considered experimental. The open gearing and metalurgy simply did not hold up. Outstanding job guys, I held hope it would get done, but strictly speaking was not holding my breath. This was a subject of intense discussion on the old forums 10 years ago, fshook, former admin for altractorsusa aka antiquefarming😉

One cylinder tractor with the strength of a beast.

[@tandemcompound2]

It is pulling 24 bottom plough, 12 levers, two shares per lever. Amazing job on the build starting only with a boiler and remaning the engine, motion and wheels. So very well done.

[@coltoncarpenter3790]

They were able to get a mass amount of blue prints from the case archives. Atleast they kept them or didnt lise them to a fire.

There aren't any 150 HP tractors made in the last 60 years that pulls a 24 bottom plow. The torque on these things was amazing.

Big Bud

[@misplacedhillbilly7594]

@@BrianDHoefs I think the big bud has a mite more than 150hp

[@BrianDHoefs]

Misplaced Hillbilly Closer to 1000 hp. I was referring to the 24 bottoms. I saw a video of it pulling 24 bottoms. It didn’t even make the tractor start to work.

[@10Upstate]

@@BrianDHoefs Yes, the Big Bud can pull a large bottom plow (at a very high HP) The video showed a 150 HP tractor pulling 24 bottoms. I'm guessing the video you saw was a 21 bottom plow, Big Bud 650-50 @ 650 HP. Name a tractor in the last 60 years, with 150 HP that could pull a 24 bottom plow.

Them old beasts will pull your house down without breaking a sweat, amazing machines!

[@longrider42]

I love the sound she makes when the plows are down, you can tell she's feeling good. My Uncle was a big fan of steam power. He has passed now, but would have loved this. He taught me that Steam engines have a voice and you can tell if they will run good or bed by that voice, but this old girl maybe pulling hard but she sounds great.

[@tootired76]

I'm dovetailing on Mike Zahnow's comments. No Case traction engines of this type survived. Kory SCRATCH BUILT this one!! It is a brand new traction engine!! I saw it live in Rollag last fall. Beautiful machine!!

It’s awesome to watch a true piece of mechanical history that helped change our country forever still working. Steam power is can do way more than most people think it can.

[@keg1dog]

I had the honor to work for a farmer back in the 60’s and 70’s that had a 40 and a 65 hp power Cases that he had restored, I got to learn how to fill water tanks and use the injectors, start the fires, clean the flues, oil grease, wonderful machines and so nice to see one run again I can almost smell the beast!;)
