Had the twins out today for some exercise

Adirondack case guy · Nov 23, 2014

Well the cold weather broke and it got up to 50F. I still hadn't put the trackhoe and mower deck off my Kubora away for the winter. I also dug out the snowblower so I can get it mtd on the B2150. I had to fire up the twins to get stuff in and out of the barn.
I took a ride up to the farm. They were in full swing combining corn. They bought a Farm King vacume/blower this year to move corn. It is pretty slick. They have perminate pipes fastened to two bins, plus the Haevestore corn unit. It also has an optional vacume pick up which they can take into the bins when they empty them. no more shoveling to the unloading auger.

Both diesels? Why the straight pipe on the one? As I recall, you added the cab. Did Case not put them on 770's originally, or was a 770 with original cab very rare?

where did you hear CASE did not put cabs on the 770's? cabs were available for all "70" series except the 470/570 tractors right from the start, every "70"s series we sold had a cab,

I didn't. It was a question, not a statement.

Tucked my 770 away for the winter today. Finished combining this afternoon. Just finished running the dryer(like that hopper on top of yours...) into the bin and put on the lid. Need to take the auger down as they are calling for high wind tonight(after sme dinner).

Good feeling to be done. Still need to clean up and clean out the combine. Still supposed to be nice tomorrow.

Bob,
The 770 with the cab came in new to Clayville Equipment Co. as an open station. When they went out of business, the owner came to us for service and had us install a 4 post ROPS which was essentially a cab frame without enclosure panals, glass and sound deadning upolstry. They did make a bolt in enclosure with front window glass, rod framed canvas doors, and a roll up plastic rear window, for them. My dad eventually bought the tractor when he retired. I had the opertunity to swap the ROPS that was on it for a decent cab off a later white 1070 even up, as the 1070 had been canablized and was headed for the scrapper. Glass and the plastic in cabs were a minus at the scrap yard and the ROPS had none of that. The Case cabs and ROPS fit everything from 770s to 1175s other than diff mts for the 4 and 6 cylinder tractors, We didn't sell a lot of 770s with cabs. They were only 65hp and at the time cabs were sold on the bigger hp tractors.

Ps, the strait pipe was my sons idea. The original muffler was starting to come apart at the seams. Dad willed that tractor to him.

I was wondering, with the straight pipe, if you had jacked it up with a turbo?!
A former acquaintance had a 770 and 970. I ran each, just a little. The 770 was 8 speed, the 970 was partial power shift. I liked them both. His father in law had been all Case when my friend took over the farm. But JD was getting all the attention with the "new" generation. He wanted a 3020, but couldn't get one at the time, so he got the 770. I don't know that it's ever been apart.

Vaccum works in cotton trailer emptying at the gin, looks like it ought to work slick on corn kernels too.

They are supposed to greatly reduce damage to the kernals that augers and silo blowers do.

I can sure see that. Augers do tend to crush stuff.
