- Case IH invited the Welkers to Racine Wisconsin for a special tour of the Magnum factory. We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed watching tractors being built as well as learning the history behind the company. It is a marvel as to what goes into tractor production. After this trip I can guarantee we have a new found appreciation for the machinery we operate.
Tours are available to anyone so make the trip! - www.caseih.com/northamerica/e...

I love that you have your Dad and Scott in more vids now.
And that plant makes the magnums it was really cool seeing them leave the plant, very cool to know that the parts I supplied went to the tractors that you use on your farm
A town near me has a celebration called steam engine days and thanks to the kindness of one local man I got to operate one of those 65hp steam traction engines
Wow you guys are lucky. There is a lot of history there.
In 1974 I visited the International Assembly plant in Dusseldorf Germany. Back then I was able to go close to the forge making crankshafts and feel the earth shake. Also see the putting of piston rings by women in the engine blocks.
Most factory tours I’ve been on don’t allow cameras. I was amazed when Millennial Farmer was allowed to put his Agco tractor factory tour up on TH-cam.
I live about a hour north of Racine. I have a uncle who worked at Case in the mid 1980s and got to tour the Case plant. It was really neat and worth the time to tour, even though I'm a die hard John deere fan. Great video. Thank you for making it
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful video. Nice Tractor's. Thanks for the video. The tractors are looks great. Have a great weekend and well done 👍
That was awesome
Love seeing the 1896 Case. We ran a 2096 when i was a kid so i absolutely love those tractors.
Thank you Nick. I am glad you three got a invite to see the factory and combine some corn.
In 1959 I was helping a local contractor. He went out to bale with a prewar case without a swing drawbar. After he had finished I had to re row
the hay and bale. I was using an international 276 plus international baler - happy days.
Many years ago I worked in the Case plant on the infrastructure, not for Case but for a Vendor of theirs. Glad you pronounced Racine right not like they do on movies.
I have seen that exact same 5488 (last IH tractor off the belt)in the Columbus Ohio farm science review (my home state) I am a fan of green tractors but I have a lot of history with red tractors and my grandfather wanted to go to the Case section (I don’t think anyone loves international more than him) and we saw that exact tractor! we have a picture of him with it and all when we saw it there The people there said it was traveling around the country. That’s awesome you saw it too!!!!!!!!
Nice!
Thank you so much for all the videos. I grew up surrounded by farms my family always had a large garden, but I never did any farming although it has always been interesting to me especially the machinery ( the little boy in me for sure) and I really enjoy learning about what you and other families and people like you do and the equipment you use, it is really fascinating and I really appreciate it.
Haha! Racine Wisconsin! I grew up in Milwaukee... I saw the title, I thought "Why the hell would they be in Racine???" I honestly didn't know Case IH was there....
LegArms and your Dad are so funny.... when they are laughing, they look so much alike, they could almost be brothers.....
Anyways nice job.
Case and then international now Case IH have always been on the leading edge of innovation. My family used to have several case and international dealerships so thus we Still Use red power on our farms.
Great video sir. Keep them coming.
Its awesome to see those old tracotrs looking almost brand new, also weird to see old tractors in a room with a Prototyped Automated tractor... How far we've come
I’m from Ohio and during the 175th anniversary they took all the tractors on the video to the farm science review and I took many photos there it was really cool
That was truly appreciated. Great collection of Case & IH corporation history. Both giants before merger. IH rven mfgd bolts, hammers & appliances. Case was into automobiles. I'm a huge IH fan Super MTA & 1206 among my favs. Enjoyed your presentation, good camera & audio. Hang Tuff & God Bless
I should have watched the whole thing before I commented. It always amuses me, when you meet people, how different people's life experiences can be.... I feel like I've spent so many years in a factory one way or another, I just take it for granted.....
Your experiences are so different.... NEVER been in a factory... That kinda was like, wow.... How is that possible??
But then, the things you guys do every day, I've never done that stuff for one minute......
I have been in CNH plant in St. Valentine Austria. They produce Case Maxxum, Puma and Optum there. Fun fact....this plant was called Nibelungenwerke during WWII and produced almost half of all german Panzer IV's, Tiger I and Jagdtigers. Some of the halls and cantine are from that period of time.
The steam Case tractor that you showed to operate the Shredder machine had the large Belt Wheel, The belt wheel could power other functions. We had a Case (an early 1950's) on the ranch in which one of the functions we used a lot was to power a large saw blade in which we slipped a large belt onto the Fly Wheel to spin the Saw Blade. We had primarily wood stoves, Kitchen Ranges, Fireplaces and pot belly wood stoves. We harvested dead trees that were on the New Mexico ranch. Everything worked like a charm.
Here in Canada a small town of Austin Manitoba holds the Thresherman’s reunion & stampede on 3rd week of July which I could remember going to it when I was a kid seeing the steam tractors going
This is my favorite video out of all love seeing old style tractors thank you for making this video
The plant tour in Racine is awesome, It’s a definite must see if anyone is interested in farming or involved.
When I was there they didn’t have the experience center, definitely need to go back now.
Great video!!
Thank you for sharing that with us!!!
Old school Cummins power baby!!!!
I love it. In Robert eyes are all those rotten years, the bad crops and the damn near farm fails, but then.. You see that twinkle that he passed down onto his boys... Love this farm
I remember when Tenneco bought out Case and International Harvester. We all thought they’d buy Caterpillar next. That way they would have a cat to go along with their two dogs!!
Cool Nick...Thanks
Thanks for taking us along on the tour.
Love running the 86 and 66 series
You guys are younger than I thought. I was 21 when that 5488 was built. That series was high on my wish list.
Thanks for sharing guys.
Pretty Cool, I lived just south of there in Kenosha. My father worked for Case for 30 years at the Racine Plant. He built the piece work for the Transmission housing. I cant wait to tell him about the concept tractor he is going to be floored about it.
If you liked the big old steam powered Case, you all should bring your families to Rollag, MN (Near Fargo, ND) for the Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion, over the labor day weekend. They have a ton of steam powered and classic farm equipment. This years feature tractor is Case. We have been attending this show for the past 6 or so years and we discover something new every time! Thanks for the great videos, love watching you all farm, and work on equipment!
You boys well deserved that .
Well done guys .
Used to ride with my dad in a 1086 and 1586 those are the best
You are always welcome back to Wisconsin any time.
That looks like a really cool place. That 5488 is definitely 1 special tractor! Thanks for making a video about it!
When you were talking about the autonomous tractor, all I could think about was the times I've gotten a tractor stuck and the videos of y'all getting those Big Bud's unstuck.
What an awesome experience! Who needs Hawaii, I wanna go to this place for vacation! Great video! Have a great rest of the day!
In Georgia around the spring you can come and drive steam tractors at the steam tractor fair. Like so Welker can see.
Great to see you guys getting to go to different places. Hope more people and companies invite you.
As always awesome video
I live 15 min away from that plant, and fun fact is the warehouse I worked for we supplied parts for that plant and only them
The north idaho forest group in Idaho has a completely restored steam tractor just like the one in the video. They take it to all local fairs and run a old saw mill. It’s awesome to see the old iron still in action
1913, the year my dad was born.
The eagle on the front of the steamer is “Old Abe”.
Great video, and yes, factory tours are awesome. They’re funny about cameras. I’ve never been able to use one in a plant.
Thanks for sharing
Very Cool... thanks for sharing!
First time you see older tractors that are new looking and in a high quality video! Im a Deere guy but right after Deere I would go for Case!
Love your videos!
I’m from Milwaukee Wisconsin.
My wife’s family are from the Quad Cities.
We went to see them this weekend and took my 17 month old daughter to the John Deere Pavilion to see the equipment.
My second favorite part of the weekend is when grandma tried to buy my baby a shirt and I said no she’s a Case baby and some random lady started laughing. Turned out she was visiting from Racine.
Favorite part was discovering my daughters love for big trucks. Was kind of worried about having to just play dolls for another 10 years.
She loved the tractors, combine, bull dozers etc. loved loved loved.
Will have to take her to see the Case Heritage exhibit in Racine soon. Just 20 min south of us!
Another place to put on my bucket list.
Just got done touring this plant with one of my college classes today, very cool place!
Awesome!
What a great tour. Super job.
Welcome to Racine :) Love living here
Awesome video guys looks like it was alot of fun glad you guys enjoyed yourselves
Im sure the corn farmers appreciate your new found experience in corn harvesting…it was fun watch your first time entering a corn field and then guiding the combine down the field and staying in the rows….what corn farmer take for granted is a new challenge to grain farmers….. Wheat farmer meets corn farmer…Both provide the food we need …THANKS for the experience...
Don’t loose your focus, Big Bud!
Great Video, Love the History of these. Love the High Hp Tractors of case & IH.
Thanks!
Great tour Nick ... info and tractors make a great combo
Case is a brand that brings nostaliga to me becuse the first tractor i satt in was an case 1694. Many good memories from that tractor.
was that tractor the david brown
The 5088 series internationals have one of the most unique shift patterns you’ll ever see. High, medium, low and reverse fully synchronized ranges, 6 gears. Powershift between 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 and synchronized from 2-3 and 4 to 5. Back then it was the only partial powershift with fully synchronized ranges.
As for you never running an open station that big, as I kid I rode a few times on a 9600 Ford open station. 150 horsepower. She was TALL.
That old Case logo of the bald eagle on top of the globe is really cool!
That’s where my papaws Case 430 was made before Case IH bought them out
I took my grandpa to museum about 20 years ago we seen one of those case steam tractors he had to tell a story about that he used to work on thrash and crew quite a bit in Kansas and he told stories about that case I'll good it was on a threshing machine so you're right there they were great on a threshing machine
Was there about a month ago. Very Cool to see!
Welcome to Wisconsin
super cool la visite , merci a vous
You guys are more than welcome to come and visit our corn and soybean farm. Mostly because I could use the help.
We've got a 1916 80hip that should run July 4th weekend this year in Missoula. Feel free to come down. Steam was pretty big in our state. When there wasn't coal there was straw.
Awesome video keep them coming
my cousin has a 5488 and he loves it. last model made for IH
That place is on my bucketlist. One day.
That 1586 was sweet
Where I work we have an 83 3688 IH tractor with that same interior. I think it's called the "Cowboy" interior. Super nice tractor to run.
Grew up with 1370 1570 love those old case tractors and we still run case today
crazy that you were in Racine. Its where im living now
I worked at the CNH (Case New Holland) combine planet in Grand Island, Nebraska moving the parts to the line and seeing these combines being built and being a part of American history was always fun! You guys need to set up a tour there. They are building the retro versions now!
Love watching your vids
In Case you didn't know that was a great video showcasing old & new Case tractors...;-))
I saw what you did there !
You guys deserve 100 million subscribes
There is a steam tractor sitting at Three Valley Gap in BC like the one you showed us. Cool tour, thanks.
Ok I had to stop the vid & comment b/c I laughed out loud when I saw LegArms sitting at the reception counter! “Exhibits are over there. Help yourself.” Since I’m on my back deck at the moment, the neighbours stopped and looked at me funny. I had to explain. LOL Great intro folks! Loved the exhibits at the Rachine plant especially the two IH tractors. Cheers
I really enjoyed the video fellas!

Awesome video!!!!
You should come by the farm when you get down to the Texas panhandle if you like technology. According to our Deere dealership we are the only people running machine sync on the S780 combines.
Good for you folks. Never seen some much Red. Safe travels. Cheers
I seen the autonomous tractor at the 2016 national FFA convention in person and it was one of the coolest things I've seen
Great video!
Very cool. My wife is from Saskatoon. Out there, all the farm equipment suppliers are around the airport. So the farmers fly in, buy their equipment, then fly home I guess. Only place I have visited where dirt roads can be plumb bob straight at 30,000 feet in the air as far as the eye can see. Grain trains are still used and can be 125 plus cars long. Amazing place to visit. Going there, the argument the world is flat is almost true. LOL!!!!
Great video cheers
love the 1586.. & i have 1, great tractor. im slowly fixing mine up..
I herd one once it’s really cool!!!
Awesome experience to go through I’m five years older (born in 1980) on some of those tractors 😩
Would love to see more of these videos😁
Thank you for the tour but you forgot to show off the eagle sitting on the globe in the corner I was wondering if it was cast steel or the plastic / fiberglass ones. No worries thank you and God bless you for having the courage to praise God in your videos
I just love the autonomus😍😍
Picking corn....
John Deere Pavillion is also cool in Moline, IL. As is the tractor works in Waterloo, Iowa. The Case IH center looked nice. Thanks for the video tour.
We got a 5488 and its amazing
