If you have middle school kids, they can learn on a half scale traction engine!!

I met a guy that lives only 15 miles from me at the school that bought a half scale Case last year. He displayed at 4 shows in 2018 and will be back at Forest City in 3 weeks powering a Carousel/Merry-Go-Round

It is interesting to see how the cylinder is mounted opposite to an english traction engine, looks like you enjoyed driving that Nick.
