That is pretty cool. Here is a video of firing up the Case 150 and and explanation of the two speed transmission 

Kory's Youtube channel is quite interesting, it includes the manufacture, casting of iron in his foundry, of parts for the Case. It also shows the extremes of technology, parts designed in 3D in CAD then the patterns CNC machined before being used to make cast iron parts in the foundry.

Thank you!
That harkens back to my great-grandfather's days. He ran a steam powered saw mill and later an electric line-shaft machine shop in West Valley & Springville, NY, around the turn of the last century.

Thanks for posting those. As long as we have smart motivated people like him we are in good shape.

I think his family built most of that tractor from spare parts and casting the unobtainum pieces.  There are a bunch of YT vids on his channel, just not organized too good.
