Was at the tractor show in Clarksburg, Ohio last year and they had the horse power testing machine. They had just hooked up an old steel wheeled Case to it and they would take readings at different rpm"s. The test took a while and put a pretty good lug on the old Case...she was steaming before the end of the test. If you ever get a chance to see this machine in action, it is well worth your time. I can"t explain it"s system but it did have a scales that as the hp was increased, it beared more on the scales and they referred to a chart to calculate the horse power. Fred OH
