    Welcome! Great looking steak. I like the Case IH. I stopped out at my uncles farm today and he showed us his latest restoration. Just finished up an old Case SC restoration. He bought the Case because his Dad my Grandpa use to run one when he was a kid. A year or two ago he restored an old Minneapolis Moline. Not sure the model but it's gray. Earlier since it's not yellow in color. He said that they only produced 600 of that particular model. It has the original motor. My Uncle mentioned that most of the original motors were switched out by farmers since they had issues with them. He thinks that there are a few hundred left with the original motor in that particular model. He also has a Moline Z that needs restoration. My Grandpa use to work for Minneapolis Moline. My Grandpa got super sick when he was younger and the Doc told him he couldn't do any physical labor for 2 years. So any farm work was a big no, no. So he took a job painting tractors for Moline. So Moline is a favorite around here. Being a city slicker myself I find farming and machinery very intriguing. I don't understand half the stuff they talk about but I do find it fascinating. Cool to see your tractor as your avatar

    Beautiful steak!!! Nice looking table too. Lots of working space. Just a suggestion about your table. You might want to put a small air gap between the egg and the tile it sits on. Btw welcome and enjoy your stay

    CaseIHman ?  I bought a 766 black stripe in 1976, brand new.  Only new tractor I have owned.  Still run it today.  One tough machine.  And good looking steaks.  Welcome to the forum.  I'm new also, not too many with less posts than me.

    Once I tried a reverse sear, I wanted to kick myself right in the pills because now I'm doomed to a life of cooking steaks that way, and it takes more time and effort. (worth it)

    Recently I accomplished a trifecta. Three ribeyes, 1.25" thick, prime - feeding three adults. One rare, one medium rare, one medium.

    Trick is to put the 115f medium on first sear, and then each of the others 30 seconds apart.

    Remove in reverse order after flipping - rare first, pull it at 120f then wait for the medium rare next, 130f. That (overcooked) medium last so that hers is first on and last off when it (finally) gets to 140f.

    Hectic taking temperatures, in the dark with a flashlight, 45f. ambient November in Indiana losing lots of heat every time I pull the dome.

    I put the steaks in a small cooler with a tupperware container inside, close the lid to keep them warm while the others are coming up to temp. SWMBO finally got her steak right the first time without me having to go back out and re-fire. (I'd rather err on the rare side, right?)

    BBQ is a celebration of culture in America. It is the closest thing we have to the wines and cheeses of Europe. 

    Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.

    FarmerTom I am in Nebraska. I was born and raised on a farm that always ran John Deere, so I have a all original 1968 4020 with ROPS canopy and 3668 original hours in the shed. I started selling CaseIH and caught a lot of crap, so the hunt was on! I originally set out to buy a Black Stripe from Kentucky but it had the TA delete, so by chance a friend called and said an Estate wanted to sell this 856! So I looked with intentions to buy, and it was a one owner with 3883 hours. In the spring of 1972 all that was available was a 856 and owner wanted a 1256, so IH sent 3 boys out with a clutch, radiator, turbo, hood pieces and all necessary components to please the customer. All work was done while it was brand new so it is truly one of a kind.

    Really nice looking tractor.  I'm partial to IH.  My mother was the bookkeeper at our local IH dealer for many years.  So we got a discount on parts, plus she could bring home whatever we needed. Got that 766 at cost in '76, worth more now than I paid for it. I do have a JD 6300 though, so I'm integrated now.
