2012 Wish List Continued and 2013 Wish List

Last year I asked everyone what was on their wish list for 2012.
So how about telling us what you were able to get in 2012 (whether it was on your list or not) and what is on your 2013 wish list.


For 2013 I would like to find any of the following;
Case 1 row mounted picker for VAC;
Eagle Hitch Spike tooth harrow;
Eagle Hitch Hammermill;
Eagle Hitch Bedder
Case eagle hitch 2 disc # 282 Two way Disc Plow

Here are pics of my favorite Case items from 2012
'49 DC and '53 DC with footclutch,eagle hitch and wide front.

"Ag Cab" by Cove Corp Battle Creek Michigan.


Case 420 Series disc.I had been looking for one of these since the 90's.


I was able to trade 1031d out of this 45e Case eagle hitch planter in 2011(Thanks Jim),but it was missing the reel for the check wire.

A friend of my brother found the check wire reel for it,same guy also found me some new rolls of check wire.I hope to plant/cultivate/video growing some check row planted corn in the near future.

Nick, I'm looking for an Eagle Hitch: mower, disk, cultivators, carrier, and planter.

Well for my 2012 wish list, I finally got a Case tractor! I got a 1977 Case 1070 from a neighbor. I really like this tractor. For my 2013 wish list I would like to find an 870 tractor. See what happens.

Hi Kurt I hope your wish comes true, We might be in your area in a couple weeks if that happens I will be in touch to see if we can stop and say Hi, Rod.

Ok, started the year getting my 400 running. It sat in the guarrage for bout 5 years for lack of funds to finnish it. this was it's first job.





Next I got this combine that is just like the one my dad had and used a lot when I was a kid. One of my first jobs was pulling the wagon around the field with our ford jubilee so dad could dump on the go. I even got to use it a bit this summer.



Then I got a chance to buy this 1160 combine this summer. I've always wanted one and this one came up so I jumped on it. Now I just need to get it home and operational. Can't wait to use it. Will still need a bean and pickup head too.



So what's on the list for this year? Already got one, dad's DC came home last week. Real excited bout that.



Also on the list for this year are the heads for the 1160 and getting it operational for harvest this fall. Would also like a 4-16s pull type plow to go with the 400, and maybe a 3-16s for the dc. Also going to try to gety the under carriage on the 310 crawler repaired and a dozer blade for it so I can use it to clear for my pole shed. That should be enough to keep me hoppin all year.

You can cut beans with the straight head if you roll the field after planting. The new hybreds pod up pretty high.

Bought a 66 Case 930 diesel 6 speed with the big fenders. Would like a 1200 4wd. Know where one is, but has a Detroit engine. Also a 170 Case rake and Case-Glencoe field cult. and mulcher. My son bought a nice 870 gas, and a nice 830 gas Caseomatic. Also a 960 Case combine.

Jon I may know where there could be some heads for your combine, emails open.

Nick, I got DC Tom"s 2 bottom Centenial Plow restored, and now fixing to restore the 51 VAC.
Then I plan on getting Tom"s 42 DC restored.

I have been looking for a early VAC for many yrs. Found this one last fall, just like my dads. I learned to drive tractors on the VAC.

Hi Rod,
That would be great if you are in my area. If I may ask, where are you heading to? I live about 10 miles North of New Ulm. My cell phone number is 507-276-0553. If I don't answer, please leave me a message. I don't have my phone on around the clock. Usually it is on from 5:30 a.m. til about 8:00 at night. Thanks Rod.

Well, lets see, I am a rainbow collector. But since we are wishing, I have started collecting LP tractors. I have a 400 Farmall right now, and would like a Case LP any size to complement the 400. I have a 930 CK, you can see part of it in the picture below, but the hydraulics aren't working after spending 2K at the Case dealer some years ago.

I may have to haul it down to Rod and have him fix it for good! Its useless without hydraulics. Sorry I don't have any better pictures of it right now.

I have already blown my 2013 budget. I will have some pics when it arives in April.
Loren

We are headed to the Stillwater area with the rout yet to be determined, so we will be in that direction. Had I known you are that close to New Ulm I would have stopped by this summer, we were camping there a couple times already. Small world, Rod.
