One of one rebuilt from JI Case blueprints of 1908 steam tractor. 150 hp, 200 rpm and 8000 lb feet of torque. 75,000 lbs with coal and water on board. Trying to wrap my brain around those numbers. What an achievement to build this and share it with the public. Thanks for the video!
May as well have just pulled that sled to the next event for them 😂 This is the most magnificent machine in existence, all thanks to Kory's brilliance, skill, and tenacity.
That 150 simply does not care how much that sled weighed. The Spirit and drive of the Men that built this is equal to that of the Men that built this Nation.
It started when he found the boiler sitting upright in a field. He got the blueprints from the Case company, and Kory and his foundry (which he took over just for this purpose) made everything themselves. They only ever made nine of them in the very early 1900s and his is now the only one in the world.
its not the only one, i know of one that sat here in Spokane Washington for years until the owner passed away, i dont know what happened to it after that@@davidgold5961
I'm a retired machinist, I always thought it would be cool to work on restoring the old steam locomotives and steam machinery. I've come across many types of machinery in my career, out of all machines, steam engines are the most beautiful and romantic that you can get. 🙂
It's even more incredible running them. I started out as a Navy BT in 1987. And been running steam boilers ever since. Ran 440 psi, 600, 1200, and now a little 150 psi firetube plant. Watching turbine drive is still interesting, but the ships had a piston powered reciprocating pump. That was always a treat to watch the linkages going thru the motions. Probably about the same as how a steam locomotive gets its motion
What always amazes me with the steam era is they engineered these awesome machines in their heads and drew them on paper. There was no CAD or 3D modeling or fancy computers to do the calculations for them. Yet they created some very formidable machinery.
Which is why I have a hard time believing that this kind of machinery wasn't inspired of God. Nobody wakes up and thinks "oh yeah this jet engine idea of mine is going to work exactly like this."@@Dsinsley1
@@Dsinsley1A true engineer doesn't need paper, I design and build things in my head all the time. It's actually harder to take what's in my mind and make it function. Or even put it on paper
I was there. Thankyou very much kory for building this tractor and taking it within driving distance for my family to see. My son loved it memory forever. thanks.
Thank you for the video, this is the best one I have seen so far. You caught the distance of 318' at the end, a FULL PULL. The sights and sounds of this Case 150 is truly amazing.
I remember watching a steam tractor pulling 25 bottom plow stop mid field with out raising the plows and then start again that kind of power is awesome.
@@stevepayne3745 Sort of the opposite, Electric motors have max torque when they start but fall off due to field-induced braking current. Steam traction engines have limited torque when starting, but build that torque as they gain speed like that old saying. A Steam Locomotive can Pull a Train it can't start. A Diesel Locomotive can Start a Train it can't pull It's why a Steam engine could pull freight and passenger cars over 80 MPH without breaking a sweat, but a Diesel will get the train moving but once it gets going starts to lose pulling power but the time it hits its rated speed.
Thank you so much Kory for all the hard work you do between getting the original boiler, blueprints and making that great piece of history. Thank you also for bringing it to the show over the weekend for all of see. It was great to get to meet you as well. Maybe someday I’ll get out to South Dakota to see it again
What an incredible piece of machinery. That overgrown tug toy behind it wasn't even a blip on the radar of a contest for the Case beast. I do wonder how much weight it would take to test the traction and torque. Kory, thanks for building this amazing piece of United States history.
The limit is weight. As heavy as that thing is, it's pretty ass heavy. Other videos of these sorts of machines doing this where the pulling sled does, truly, max them out, it's because they start lifting the nose and the engineer backs out of it. They don't run out of torque or traction.
@@ElementofKindness Itt'l stand up on its arse before it runs out of either. There's videos of other Case land locomotives doing wheelies when pulling these sleds.
Today is 8-17-24. My son just woke me up today after he found you. He's 9 years old. He told me the history of where you got this huge work horse. In the summer he goes with his grandfather and grandmother to tractor shows all around Indiana and ohio, Michigan. He is the last of our farmers in our family. I hope someday he can meet you. I would love you if you talk to him sometime ❤. God bless you
It's wonderful that we still have kids interested in steam power, they're the future we need to keep steam alive. I'm in no way old, I'm only 22, and I was raised with an interest in steam and antique farm equipment in general. Every year for as long as I remember, I've been going to a yearly steam show in Southern Pennsylvania where I live. I've grown to have an interest in steam like I've been around when steam was king. I hope your son grows up to help preserve steam as I have.
I’d much rather see this than a modern pulling tractor with 4 turbos blowing all that smoke and making all That noise. This ladies and gentlemen is real horsepower
Im so glad this was brought back. I have akways loved steam engines, locomotives was my favorite going up and was only on one when i was really little. I love the sound! Just an outstanding peace of history and equipment. I would love to have something like this even in a smaller form heck i wouldn't care because unless you was raise around them not many people knows or will care about steam engines and i hate that
True, but you want to be fast when you have 40,000 acres under tillage and need to get it done ASAP which is why the steam traction engine (like the Case 150) were replaced with gasoline then diesel powered tractors.
@@dundonrl They were replaced because of the size costs and anyone could drive a combustion engine. Not everyone was experienced with a foot plate. Edit: Also modern tractors didn't replace steam tractors, they replaced horse drawn plough.
@@dundonrl a steam tracktor can pull way bigger ploughs. the actual problem is the long startup, cooldown and maintainance times. maintaining a steam engine is in itself already multiple full time jobs.
My father in law would have loved to see this. Rebuilt a Marshall 1901 road roller from the ground up, and I and my brother in law helped him. Then we converted it to a traction engine which was far better for driving to shows and rallies. Great days long gone unfortunately..
This was the first video I seen Corey’s Case 150 do a tractor pull. I know there are other steam engines that do tractor pulls but none of them are a 150 Case.
That's one awesome piece of steam powered equipment! Sure am glad that you and your family built that steam powered road tractor from scratch and also were able to find original blue prints to do so!
Awesome piece of equipment. Thank you for the reconstruction of this. I would also like to thank Case for allowing you the permission to build and to look back into the archives. What a work of art and working history. ❤
Nothing Beats steam power. Simply amazing that a single 14" piston can supply that much torque. Then again 10 more inches of girth in a piston that can pull a whole train.
Well considering that same engine but on steel rails is what pulls trains I'd say yea he was just playing with it, That tractor could have pulled that sled sideways just as well.
That make sense....I lovethis Case 150. I've seen a Case 110 at a Tractor pull. It shot hit coal and sparks way up into the air, and pulled the sled beyond a Full Pull.
Kory, I absolutely love your 150. What an acomplishment. I saw it pulling that massive plow with many bottoms and people standing on it. We can't afford to lose your incredible Case. Keep it in a fireproof building with good security protection from theft and vandalism.
The weight is dominant factor over modern sled pullers. We need the rpm for wheel speed out off the start, basically slide down the track when the weight comes on. Think of it as running with a parachute. Except it’s not lifting you, it’s pulling you down. Hence why pullers bog out. The 150 has all the torque and weight to pull anything it hooks to.
I have been waiting for it to do a tractor sled pull. Thanks. I have watched it pull a 44, then a 50 bottom breaking plow, without any trouble. I can't help but think that the operator wasn't giving it much throttle until the weights on the sled got to the heaviest point. I think that the 44 bottom plow was a tougher pull than this pull sled. Correct me, if I am wrong. Also, I would take a guess that this would drag the highest rated pull tractor around, like a toy, drawbar to drawbar. Again, correct me if I am wrong. It's all in the weight of the tractor, the torque of the engine output, the drive gearing ratio, engine to wheels, which appeared to be around 30 to 1, and the traction of those huge, wide, and long cleated wheels. It is almost a large, strong, winch, on wheels.
ruclips.net/video/kA0E7kRhd6M/видео.html Here ya go. A baby steam tractor on highway tires turning a fairly hotly modded pulling tractor into an overgrown roto-tiller. And even this tiny little steamer doesn't even have to try. It's effortless. This big Case would probably be able to rip the drawbar clean off any pulling tractor it gets attached to.
You hooked this up to Big Bud 747 and the modern (well, reasonably modern, since it was built in 1977) tractor would pull it backwards quite easily. First the 747 weights 61,000 lbs more than the Case 150. 2nd instead of only using 2 tires to provide motive force, the modern tractor uses all of it's tires so all of it's weight is being used to pull where the Case 150 has probably 1/3rd of it's weight on the front wheels that are passive and don't provide anything except steering.
@@dundonrl It probably would and I have wondered about that, but the tractor pullers I mentioned only have two pulling wheels, and I believe don't weigh anywhere near what the steam engine does, at 75,000 pounds.
25 years ago, as a little kid, steam engines fascinated me really. Nowadays i am an engineer and they fascinate me even more! What a milestone in development.
Now that's power !! With full-sized hourses. No eardrum breaking internal combustion engines and parts flying if something breaks - just plain brute force.
What an amazing machine. No other vehicle could haul that much weight! Such inspiring engineering...to think a display of power could be so moving. John Deere sure does make one heck of an ATV/utv.
Easy peasy for that monster! It was puffing a bit at the end, but never broke traction, and never acted like it would 'run out of steam' (Literally!)😄🚂👍👍
I am really curious how the hitch is constructed, where it is attached to the engine, and what it is made of. This machine plowing and pulling has to put just ridiculous pressure on components and fasteners.
Me too. I do some welding work and fabrication on the side and the forces at play here boggle the mind. That piece of logging chain they had attaching it was likely not from Home Depot either lol.
@gentlegiants1974 sled chains are generally a lot larger than logging chains. The sleds we use at our annual pull have 1inch rated chain and rated hooks with the OSHA tags on them. I imagine they do it that way for insurance purposes.
I would say it is even cooler to feel the pitter patter as the steam engine rolls down the track. They had the smaller Case steam engine at the Hanley Falls, MN show and the feeling of it moving was the best part. I hope to get to a show some day to see this awesome restoration. I chuckle every time to hear that he had to buy a foundry so he could restore it.
@@andersjohansson6118 He didn't restore it. He built it from the drawings. Only the boiler of one survived and I don't think they resused it in this. It truly is a new steam tractor.
@@GriswoldFarms Anderson Industries bought the foundry in 2007. Anderson Industries of Anderson Openers fame(or hate). It wasn't bought just for the tractor.
That steam engine made it look easy, at first I didn't think the sled was even engaged. The smell of coal fired engines takes me back when I was a kid in the early 60's when my grandparents still used coal fired stoves for heating.
The steam engine revolutionized farming and so many other things. My grandfather and i would go to the steam threshers convention in Wauseon, Ohio. They still have it every year in June.
If you’re a tiktok user with typical short attention span, the action starts at 8:59, for the rest of us, great video to see that old iron and how amazingly strong it is
Totally awesome those steam engines are modern marvel how the old timers made those without computers is just plain awesome The only thing I noticed on the sled is that the pan didn’t drop down all the way. Most sleds have hydraulics that pick the rear of the sled up and tires come off the ground. The tires stayed on the ground the whole distance
When you look at the plows these tractors used to pull, it's no surprise. Weight, torque and those wide steel wheels for unparalleled traction.... there was never any question.
NO AI crap, pure engineering measured with vernier calipers and a tape measure probably. Designed by a real engineer, built by a real man and operated by gifted men willing to work hard.
Haha thats one of the sayings my dad had he'd use here n there. Armstrong this or that. Thanks for that memory dredge up. I really miss my dad. He just passed 3 yrs ago. My mom just passed about 4 months ago. Its still like they both just had been here. Like they should still be here. Miss them greatly. He always had all sorts of old days sayings "Think long go wrong" "He who hesitates is lost" "Going to hell in a hand basket" "They couldnt pour piss out of a boot if directions were on the heel" " They dont know shit from shinola" He had a bunch more i just cant think of atm.
Well, this one does actually have power steering (not the Armstrong variety), run off the crankshaft. The 110's, the 150, and the road rollers had power steering from the factory.
My question would be that since this tractor was build using modern machine tools, were the parts finished to the original tolerances described in the blueprints or did they take advantage of the capabilities of todays tools and achieve tighter tolerances and actually squeeze more power out of the design that would’ve been capable in 1904?
I wanted to see what this comment said, here it is, run through Google Translate: "Great to see how strong the Case 150 is! It is a pity that there are so few steam tractors in the Netherlands!"
You know you've brought the big guns when the tractor weighs more than the sled! Awesome machine!

Easy peasy for that monster! It was puffing a bit at the end, but never broke traction, and never acted like it would 'run out of steam' (Literally!)😄🚂👍👍
I am really curious how the hitch is constructed, where it is attached to the engine, and what it is made of. This machine plowing and pulling has to put just ridiculous pressure on components and fasteners.
Me too. I do some welding work and fabrication on the side and the forces at play here boggle the mind. That piece of logging chain they had attaching it was likely not from Home Depot either lol.
@gentlegiants1974 sled chains are generally a lot larger than logging chains. The sleds we use at our annual pull have 1inch rated chain and rated hooks with the OSHA tags on them. I imagine they do it that way for insurance purposes.
I really don't think the hitch is attached to the engine. But rather to the frame somehow
@@BillTheTractorManAt least g80 to have tags so good lord what a hookup
Awesome pull! Unstoppable Case 150, like always.
@ 12:00: there's a pretty good guess as to what is on the front of those red caps.
No doubt what they sit on is full of shit.
Hats off to the original designer of this tractor
What an absolutely beautiful machine!
Cant beat case!
The sled has "Horsepower Hunter" written on it, so the Case brought torque.
I was there! Very cool to see the 150 do a pull!
I would say it is even cooler to feel the pitter patter as the steam engine rolls down the track. They had the smaller Case steam engine at the Hanley Falls, MN show and the feeling of it moving was the best part.
I hope to get to a show some day to see this awesome restoration.
I chuckle every time to hear that he had to buy a foundry so he could restore it.
@andersjohansson6118 same haha! It was a great show!
@@andersjohansson6118 He didn't restore it. He built it from the drawings. Only the boiler of one survived and I don't think they resused it in this. It truly is a new steam tractor.
@@J-1410 hence why he bought the foundry
@@GriswoldFarms Anderson Industries bought the foundry in 2007. Anderson Industries of Anderson Openers fame(or hate). It wasn't bought just for the tractor.
That tractor is a work of art!
That little john Deere did a great job too carrying that massive weight !
John Deere mobility scooter 😂
I don't know which impressed me more, the case or the dere
La verdad me fijé más en el pequeño John Deere que en el Case... jajajaja
That was so beautiful and impressive. I really appreciated this.
Just magnificent! 😍 Slow and steady wins the race!
That steam engine made it look easy, at first I didn't think the sled was even engaged. The smell of coal fired engines takes me back when I was a kid in the early 60's when my grandparents still used coal fired stoves for heating.
The steam engine revolutionized farming and so many other things. My grandfather and i would go to the steam threshers convention in Wauseon, Ohio. They still have it every year in June.
GIVE IT HELL KORY !!!!!!!!! Thank you for making history come alive.
Amazing Big Tractor I Have Never Seen Before Admiring Designer
If you’re a tiktok user with typical short attention span, the action starts at 8:59, for the rest of us, great video to see that old iron and how amazingly strong it is
Built something that will be admired long after the builder is gone. What a cool thing to do.
There is a wonderful tractor show in Edgar Wisconsin, would be wonderful to see this case there. The last full weekend of August
Fantastic job 👍. Thanks for the history lesson!
Totally awesome those steam engines are modern marvel how the old timers made those without computers is just plain awesome The only thing I noticed on the sled is that the pan didn’t drop down all the way. Most sleds have hydraulics that pick the rear of the sled up and tires come off the ground. The tires stayed on the ground the whole distance
It didn't even look like it knew anything was attached to it... effortless! Serious bit of tackle there! 👍
not until the end when it was like oh theres something back there but idc
What a great piece of American history!!!
Thank you for posting this! Michael and I were really hoping to find a video of it after you mentioned the pull in your talk Saturday night!
Thank you Anderson family for your wonderful restoration.
CaseIH needs to put together a marketing campaign with Kory and his 150. What are they selling?.....2 Things, Great American tractors, and PRIDE! ❤🇺🇲
When you look at the plows these tractors used to pull, it's no surprise. Weight, torque and those wide steel wheels for unparalleled traction.... there was never any question.
A lot of farmers and their families turned out for this!
NO AI crap, pure engineering measured with vernier calipers and a tape measure probably. Designed by a real engineer, built by a real man and operated by gifted men willing to work hard.
Armstrong power steering, armstrong fuel injection.
What a beautiful piece of machinery ❤
Haha thats one of the sayings my dad had he'd use here n there.
Armstrong this or that. Thanks for that memory dredge up. I really miss my dad. He just passed 3 yrs ago. My mom just passed about 4 months ago.
Its still like they both just had been here. Like they should still be here.
Miss them greatly.
He always had all sorts of old days sayings
"Think long go wrong"
"He who hesitates is lost"
"Going to hell in a hand basket"
"They couldnt pour piss out of a boot if directions were on the heel"
" They dont know shit from shinola"
He had a bunch more i just cant think of atm.
@@d.aardent9382 sorry for your lose. Grew up hearing all the same quotes. 👍
Well, this one does actually have power steering (not the Armstrong variety), run off the crankshaft. The 110's, the 150, and the road rollers had power steering from the factory.
Nothing stopping that big boy!
My question would be that since this tractor was build using modern machine tools, were the parts finished to the original tolerances described in the blueprints or did they take advantage of the capabilities of todays tools and achieve tighter tolerances and actually squeeze more power out of the design that would’ve been capable in 1904?
Geweldig om te zien hoe sterk de Case 150 is! Jammer dat er in Nederland zo weinig stoomtrekkers zijn!😌
I wanted to see what this comment said, here it is, run through Google Translate: "Great to see how strong the Case 150 is! It is a pity that there are so few steam tractors in the Netherlands!"
@@artisanautobody3931dat is correct!😀
@@superkip5920 :D
Some power great to see the older machines in action ,gretta wouldnt be happy to see all that black smoke,😂😂😂
Just love how she walks away with it
So this would technically pass for stock class right?
I have a question would you ever consider bringing that engine to the Rock River Thresheree in rock county wisconsin
Jimmy, we need more power!
How much more?
Three shovels.
How awesome engineered! How can the gears that engage those huge wheels hold up???
