Case forage harvestor model?

zach in neb · Jan 15, 2012

Anybody know the model of this harvestor? A friend of mine found it while hauling iron and offered it to me before hauling it in. I decided to take it and would like to know the model so i can look for a parts book and operators manual for it. Thanks!

I have one like that, it's a 212. Yours might be a little older, since it has round spoke wheels. Mine was the first one like that I'd ever seen, so I had to have it.

Looks just like the one dad bought new in the mid 50 s & it was a model C 2. Lift lever, spoke wheels , spout & other things all are the same
Case s first verson was a model C , pretty much like this one , biggest diff. was the discharge spout , it was a very high spout that was not good .Dad bought a C new also the first yr. they were made , about 1947 or 48.
Latter ones had disk wheels & quick change heads . clint

THat chopper looks in great shape , I would never paint it as it looks very nice now. Remember , you cannot unrestore a restoreation job.
Looks like it would go to the field and work .
They were a easy running machine , I had used dads for years with a ' hopped up' DC " pulling it and a wagon. clint

My father had one just like in your picture with both hay & corn heads from about 1948 to 1960. He 1st pulled it with a Farmall F20 and then a Farmall M. He traded it on a new Gehl chopper and then found out his Farmall M couldn't pull it in heavy corn. Had to put an engine on the Gehl. He always said the Case was a very easy pulling chopper. The attached pictures don't show much of the chopper but it is the only one I have. Picture taken in 48 or 49 when I was about 5-6 years old. Al

Chopping hay?What did they store it in back then?

COM Tom · Jan 16, 2012

Had one like that back when we started dairy farming, was a Case 220. They also made a 210, the 220 had 6 blades and I thick the 210 had 4. Easy to run in the thickest corn, pulled it with a DB 990. Had a pickup, a direct cut head and a one row silage head. Case also made a corn head that would snap the ears off and run them up an elevator into a trailing wagon and the stalks were chopped and blown into a wagon pulled alongside. You could also take the bottom band off the chopper and shred the stalks back on the ground or there was a door you could open and drop the ears back in the chopper to make silage. Don't think any one else made a head like that. Have a new set of blower pattles, if you need them. May have a manual. That's a real nice find, glad it's not getting scraped. Tom

Almost looks like the corn head and the cutter are different ages. There is a serial number plate on it (can"t remember just where) that will give the serial number and age. My bet is on a C series mainly because of the spoked wheels. Have both a 210 and a C and there are some subtle differences.

The chopped dry hay and straw was blown into the barn using a blower. Almost no chopped dry hay is made any more as most bale it. Al

That is a C2 base unit with a newer 200 series head.

Here's the brochure on one of those Tom.
Says the Corn Harvester fits either the standard or long cut "Quick-Change" Case "C-2" Forage Harvester base machines.

Thanks guys for the info! I'll get more pictures when i go pick it up this weekend. I bought it just by the picture above. I was able to find a parts book and operators manual on ebay today so i got that covered. Thanks for the pic of the brochure. Are these complicated to work on and get going again if they've been sitting awhile? I can't say i've ever seen one of these up close.
