Older Case movies or films?

Are there any older Case films or movies from the 1960s available for purchase some where? Would like to see some of the promotional films or movies that show the 730-1030s or the 70 series tractors and equipment.
 
There's an ad in Old Abe's News for Case videos from Bill Sankot Garage, Belle Plain, IA 319-436-2849. The list 15 videos each containing 2 or 3 old films.

J.I. CASE Co. was very active in producing films for several decades. I guess from the '30's into the 70's. 16MM Films that were given to Ag schools Ag universities, and also made available to dealers. Some titles were "How to build a pond", "How to make Healthy Hay", How to strike a field for plowing". There were dozens, maybe hundreds of films. Some were the introduction of new machinery, some on servicing.
30 years ago I discovered Cornell University had a vast library of CASE films, so I called there & eventually got a head Librarian who remembered the films but told me that some years before they all got trashed. That's my luck though, "a day late & a dollar short".

That figures. I never understood how anyone trained in library science would ever throw away any book, film or recording. Idiots.
