I need help in getting started 65hp Case

[hmanmt]

Hello my name is Matthew this is my first post. When I was a kid my dad used to take me to steam tractor shows all the time he had a friend with a 1/4 scale 65hp case tractor and we used to get there early in the morning to help him get it cleaned up and ready to go he used to let me stoke the fire and opperate the engine it was a lot of fun for a kid but I did not pay much attention as to how it really worked any ways to the point now that I am older 30 I would like to build one myself I have 3 kids and think it would be a great part of history for them to see and live . so my question is where do I get started where can I find plans where can I find castings I can machine anything I have access to dads shop . I live in Louisville Ky. we used to be members of the Kentuckianna pioneer power association. thanks in anvance for any help

I have the blueprint set but do not have the castings. I would have to check to see if I know where there is a set of 1/4 castings (1/4 scale casting sets are not advertised any longer). Can you give me a phone number or email address so that we can chat.

Thanks

Did Aaron Terning ever sell the patterns?

I think that Aaron still has his patterns. I know where there are other sets of 1/4 scale Case patterns.

Just wondering if terning parts are still available .... need the automatic oiler and lugs for rear wheels for my 1/4 scale Case a phone number or any info is greatly appreciated

ill look and see at the old frizen place there some wheels there look like some of the oldcase steam tractor wheels they got cross lugs everything overthere is horse drawn machines the wheels are about 4 1/2 to 5 feet tall, foot and half wide i guess you could use them for the back , there probley 300lb each though, ,cost alot to ship i think they cam off the corn cutter, it was a 3 or 4 roll cutter, if you start getting all the parts found you could start planning, 65hp big one , i was thinking i would build something like that but i just dont have the time to many things now, i was thinking old hit miss and a smok stak in front, would look cool, well good luck, lots of piece to fine yet, that the fun of it , then the hard work starts,

[terry tabb]

you know when you hungery and you eyes are biger then your belly, well i just went over pick them wheels up ,they shrunk they are 3foot tall, and 9'' across, that might be a 1/2 scale , 1/3 scale need do the math, the wheel that in the middle horse drawn combine is broke they are cast iron ans steel spooks ill try to post , there should be something close by you to find, i dont get that way no more everyone has passed away, one day ill go back home i hope , to Georgia AND ALABAMA, GET ME 20 KRISTAL HAMBERGERS,GOT OFF TRAK Again

i wish i could it was 28 this morning, just the start of a long winter, i dred this winter, for some reason, its alway windy too,kansas only has on avarage of 10 ten days out of a year there is no wind,

Yup, 36" will be dead on for a half 65 CASE. They are a tad narrow (9" versus 11" for a half scale) but should work fine.

I have a complete set of 1/4 scale castings. They are old Turning castings. I would be happy to let them go, if we could establish a honest fair correct price. No machining has been done. I also have the wheels rolled or cut and a few other stock items. Nothing for the boiler. I will send a PM and I appreciate help with the pricing if anyone can. I will be making a visit to Virginia in 2 weeks if that helps, (after thanksgiving).

regards

Not had any luck on getting a reply from my email or telephone messages from hmanmt. Looks like this the tread just died. Anyways....

I still have a full set of 1/4 case castings and some extras such as stock cut for wheels, full set of grousers. Looking for a home.
