Going To A New Home

This 1977 1370 was found in northern Illinois by another
member here. 3520 one owner hours. I found it a new home
in the dairy state. It will join a 1175,1070,970,& a 1030 on a WI
dairy farm. Sounds like it will be on chopper & field cultivator
duty.

Looks like a nice one, that will be a nice step up for them.
It looks like it has 18.4X38 rubber,I never could figure out why case sold so many 1370 and 2390's with that small of rubber.Wouldn't 20.8X38 be a better choice for that kind of HP ?
 
probably same reason they put 7.75x14 tires on a '65 GTO with 360 hp. making the traction the "weak point" saves on the more expensive "weak points" and gets it off warrantee.
 

When my uncle bought his 1270 back in the mid 70's it had 20.8-38's on, but he made the dealer swap them out for 18.4-38's. He thought the 20's were too wide to run in the plow furrow.
 
Eric,
That is a sweet lookin' 1370! Great find. Best of luck with the ol' beast. She looks to be in great condition yet. Thanks for the pics. I would love to own one of those someday....

That's a Hextell implement tractor. Pretty sure you have them on your list don't you Don?
 
Yup! Hextell Implment Case/AC Serena, IL. They sold a lot of obsolete equipment to our local horse jockey/Case dealer. Thanks for thinking about me. Don
 
Joe,

Ever hear of Raymond Dittmer, Scales Mound, IL?

Was a dealer in the early 50's, for sure. Thanks again, Don
 
that's a nice looking 1370. I would like to have another 1370.

I would like to have another case tractor in the herd but my better half says I'm just trying to be another casenutty!
 
Eric that is a nice clean one. Just curious if you can tell if the rear axle housings have ever been off. Rod.
 
Paul, 20.8 38s would be 1st choice also if not needed for row cropping. I tell guys to put 20.8s on 1175s also, if they are going to pull them in the field.
 
very clean looking 13. I like the extra lights on top of the cab. Bet they look good at night. One of my 13s that i thought was a 1977 has the air intake above the hood.The new owners will probably double those hours quickly.
 
Hmmm, I'm just thinking out loud, but if it was my tractor and was planning on keeping it long term I would find a reason to pull the axle housings and reverse the sun gears. I would sleep better, lol. Rod.
