I was getting the pictures ready for my other post and found these, they are of my 1936 CC that has been in the family since it was new. It has factory rubber, a factory road gear( I think it is faster than my DC), factory gas manifold, and still runs like a champ. I have the fenders for it but they have been off since the tractor was new, so I just run it this way, Mike

The wheels have always been red, not that shade of red though. I repainted that tractor when I was in high school about 1978, used case alkyd paint and some red we had around. That tractor has done about everything a tractor can do on a farm,it was the prime mover on our farm for many years,plowing disking harrowing,it ran the grain binder,threshing machine, A-6 combine, it powerd the corn picker(low gear was too fast, so my grandfather would pull the case and picker with a C farmall), it pulled the manure spreader, hauled grain,ran elevators,augers,ground feed, For a longtime it had a farmers friend loader on it( driven with a flat belt, it was all winches and pulleys, always reminded me of a drawbridge), it cultivated,Made hay(I have a Case mounted mower for it). The only job that was more than it couldn't handle was running a Behlin portable grain dryer(not enough cooling, it would boil over) so dad bought W-6 and rebuilt it to 450 specs.for the dryer,it wasn't a handy tractor but it really did run. Now mostly it does plowing matches and farts around, I did put it on a dyno a number of years ago and it made 42 H.P. witch I thought was pretty good for it's age.
