A scene from the past.

Spent last weekend helping run this 1915 65 horse Case traction engine at a show last weekend. We sawed lumber, threshed, chopped silage, played on the power eater (load tester) and paraded around. It was neat to be able to use a Case thresher as you don't always see a matched engine and thresher these days. It gives you a greater appreciation to be able to hit the start button and drive off these days when it takes roughly 2 hours to get steam up and move on one of these.
