Apparently the tractor was scratch built as none of the 9 originally built have survived.

You boys have purdy big fields out there to need such equipment.

I've had the opportunity to see Kory Anderson's 150hp Case. He is a good down to earth guy that built a very impressive machine,

 

In Case you did not find the build video.

Someone posted it on a model engineering website over here, just in case anyone wanted to build a scale replica. The engine would be ok, but imaging making all the plows lol.

I made the trip out to their home show at Andover, SD in 2021.  
 

Then in 2023 and 2024 it came to one of my local shows at Burnett, WI

WHX??

Short story is they found the blueprints in a basement and he built it off of that. He had to buy a foundry and a machine shop to do it. Still boggles the mind that he made all of the parts for a one off machine.

What would be cool is if they made a plastic model kit of it.

Case still has the blueprints, Kory went there to copy them, then spent a lot of time converting it to cad, before starting the actual build. 
 

There was one boiler remaining (in Arizona) that a farmer was using as a water tank, it was purchased and is now in Andover, SD. The serial number was taken from that original boiler and is now on the new 150.
