The Big Case

A rare 110 HP Case Stema Engine appeared at the show this year, courtesy of the Jansen Family. The engine, formerly owned by Graham Sellers was the lead engine on the 60 bottom plow at the 2005 Half Century of Progress in Rantoul, Illinois.

If your reporters ears and memory were operating correctly, this tractor started life pulling a 16 bottom plow on the Canadian prairie, a job it held for many years. It eventually found it's way into the Northwest US powering a sawmill and other jobs. Today, the old engine lives on among people who appreciate the role these machines played.
