Hello everyone! I have been lurking for a while, but am a first time poster.
I was hoping someone could help me out with a few questions I have on a 1941 Case SC. My dad and I farm here in WI. and have primarily Farmall/IH tractors. And although I know my way around those pretty good. I am no nothing about case tractors. I am interested in the SC because it is the first tractor my dad purchased when he bought the farm. He only had it for a couple years before he sold it and upgraded.
I went and looked at it yesterday at a dealer that is a couple hours away. The tag on the dash puts it at a 1941, but I thought it was odd that it had a distributor instead of a magneto. It seemed to run well even though it needed a set of plugs and wires. The previous owner had repainted the tractor a while back. It is by no means a professional job, but it looks pretty good. The tin is in very good shape, with only a couple small dents. I drove the tractor as well. Steering seemed good and tight and it seemed to run out good in all 4 gears and reverse.
So my question is can anybody tell me if there is anything else I should check before I possibly pull the pin and buy this tractor? Beside the obvious stuff.
Thanks in advance for the help.
