Jerome Increase Case started building threshing machines in Racine, Wisconsin in 1842. He later expanded into portable steam engines and built his first traction engine in 1876. The Case name is still used on farm and construction equipment today. For more about the history of Case, read the Oak Clearing Farm & Museum's History of J. I.
