Case Nutty 1660 10-25-2012 23:23:08 75.127.24.27 Report to Moderator

I have seen one 1000 with a 301 dsl I even have the fuel pressure guage from it, and know the dealer that sold it new in Bell Fourche SD, I was working on a deal that would have netted me a 1970 1660 with the Perkins and a 1968 1060 with the 301 dsl, long story short there was no railroad loading docks within 250 miles of them left so trucking was out of the question and also located another real nice shedded 1060 dsl there also but again with traucking running 2500-3500 each it was also a no-go these were in Kansas and sadly they are all gone checked on them again last summer, I also knew of a 1160 in ND many years ago it was scrapped by Case after a full season of testing(proto-type)but the most dsl combines that I heard of were the 600/660 models, a lot of this had to do with the fact that Case made more of these models than any other so just shear #'s put out more, I would think a 660 dsl would have been a much more powerful machine than a 660 gas that 188 is night and day on torque ahead of the gas motors in tractors so I am betting it really would have made the 660 shine with it, now not knocking the gas motors at all but we sold our first 580CK with a gas in 1966 next one that came in was a dsl and never again did we order a gas( they were much more of a machine with the torquy dsl) and we sold hundred's of 580CK's alone, any way another thing to note is the 955/1150/1155 and 1250 swathers all could be ordered with the 188dsl, a 1255 could be had with a dsl but it was a Perkins cnt [Reply]   [No Email]
