This photo was taken on my grandfather's farm in 1927 [R.W. Beamish]. The engine is a 28-80 Case. The 36'' Nichols & Shepard separator was new. We still use this machine today. It has always been shedded in its original shed.

This is my 28-75 Case plowing in October 1974 on my Uncle’s
land [Doug Beamish]. We are pulling 10-14′ bottoms. This land
is very heavy. If the plows weren’t right in, they just dragged
on top. Myself operating, my cousin, Robert, firing. My other
cousin, Ed, lifting in levers and also on the plow in my good steam
friend, Gordon Mundle of Binscarth.

To all Iron-Men Album Readers – I would like to point out
something about horsepower. All 75 Case’s were not 25 HP. The
older engines were because they only had 250 square feet of heating
surface. By the way: the first figure is not draw bar HP – it is
boiler HP. The second number represented belt HP. My 75 Case engine
has a triple riveted lap seam boiler the same that was placed on
many 80 HP Case engines. The heating surface is 282.6 square feet.
There is 1 boiler HP for every 10 square feet of heating surface.
Divide 282.6 by 10 and you get 28 HP.

The butt strap boiler on the 80 HP Case had 283.1 square feet.
The only difference is there are 56 tubes instead of 58 and the
tubes are 100-1/2′ instead of 96-1/2′. Draw bar HP was
calculated 50% to 75% of HP of engine which would give you 28 to 56
HP on the 28-75 Hp Case. I have been very disappointed to see so
many write ups take the first figure as drawbar HP which is not
so!

Right shot shows the Case pulling 10 bottoms in good tough
stubble land. Gordon Mundle of Binscarth is operating, while I am
firing. We also used my Uncle Doug’s 22-65 Case. The 75 with
its 11 X 11 bore and stroke, same as the 80, handled the 10 bottoms
very easily.

This picture was taken on the grounds of the Allegheny
Mountaineers 1975 Show. The show was over and the engines were
lined up here to be picked up by Dennis Smith’s low boy truck
to be hauled to the Morrison Cove Power Reunion which would be the
following week.

The first engine in line is a Peerless owned by Blair Sell of
Duncansville, Pa.; next engine is a Frick owned by Lloyd Calhoun of
Everett, Pa.; next in line is a Frick owned by Lester Beach of
Martinsburg, Pa.; another Frick owned by Joe Dull of Alum Bank,
Pa.; then a Frick owned by Dennis Smith of Roaring Springs, Pa.;
then a Case owned by James Stiffler of Altoona, Pa.; and last
engine is a Huber owned by Henry Dull of Alum Bank, Pa. Picture was
taken by Ethel Moch of Alum Bank.
