This machine, the 150 Case, was the pinnacle of the road locomotive era. I have followed Kory Anderson for many years, starting when he began building this beast. He was able to obtain the original blueprints from the company that bought Case and create all the parts from scratch (he owns a foundry company). It is an awesome story.

Love that smell.
There's something mesmerizing about old steam engines. It was always fun going to the threshing show in Tipton and watching the steam engine run a sawmill.
Side note: My Great-Grandmother was born in 1909, her father- G-G-Grandpa Cad- farmed 40 acres with a Farmall B and a trip-plow. We still have both, however the B is just a yard ornament. I got to use the trip-plow on my Grandma's truck patch back when I was in high school. It's a neat feeling using old iron, especially when its a family heirloom.

Not steam or coal powered and not my great grandfather’s. Was owned by my father who passed away in 1994. Was sold by my mother a couple years later.
My dad was born in 1914 and told of using a Fordson at one time and a McCormick Deering 1020 at another. There were big steam tractors that came around at harvest time. They even had 6 teams of Belgians before they got the tractors. This was in central Nebraska. Unfortunately, the bank took the farm during the Depression.
Sorry to hear that. I had relatives that went bankrupt and lost their land. I recently reluctantly parted with family farm ( since 1836 ) because no heirs to take over on my retirement.
Not coal steam or as old but from my past.
Mom and I. 194? Farmall H.
Mom, Grandma ( Mom’s mom ) me, cousin, same H hooked to our baler at that time. Notice baler has motor, not pto driven. Same baler when I began driving for baling. That baler motor had a bad habit of not wanting to start and run. Heard a few expletives from Dad and other guys more than once.

My parents used to attend a show up in Canada with antique farm equipment. They brought back pictures and tales of a steam tractor pulling a huge plow. The plow had a board walkway for workers to walk along and adjust each individual plow bottom. Maybe the same as in your video? I'll try to find those pictures. Very cool!!
Here is a photo of my grandfather, Jacob, on a McCormick-Deering, probably in the 30's:
My cousin restored the tractor in the late 70's, but it is now in desperate need of attention. Hopefully, one of the younger generations of the family will take it on:

Direct conncection to Oliver Chilled Plow of South Bend right there.
He doesn't take it anywhere. It's his shed queen. He uses it once in a while to move the bean head around and pull a running gear with a flat bed for totes. He might have drug a harrow across mom's garden with it too.
