That caught my eye , I have never seen a SC with a bent rod.I have been around our SC sense 1944 and am finishing up on the scond restore job now. The sheet metal really looks nice on your SC. Mine was in very ,very poor shape with rust. We are near Chandler, OK. I see where you are in Tx. I mite have to take a drive someday. clint [Reply]   [No Email]

Dad , insisted HE wanted that Particular Tractor ,and he bought it , he knew CASE routinely beefed up and stacked their deck to get the best out of their display tractors ,,. that was truely evident when all his uncles tried on the 430 diesel and claimed it had a hale of a lot more azz than their 430 diesels ,, and of course , the gasser430 was way behind in performance [Reply]  [No Email]
