New to me Case 311, let the restoration begin

AllAboutDaZ · Sep 3, 2015

hello everyone I am new to the forum and also new to tractors in general. I just purchased a Case 311 unsure of the year but thinking it is a 1956. Currently I need to adjust the clutch pedal because is has too much play, and I am trying to locate the upper hood and side panels for it. I would also like to know what brand mower I got with it.

I just saw that one on craigslist last night! What a coincidence!

The 300 series round nose models were built in 1956 & 1957. The starting serial nr for 1956 is 6050301, for 1957 6075001.

Don't know about the mower.

If you don't have a service manual yet, This is a pic of the clutch pedal linkage adjustment.

I've got a rig just like that, came with a VAC years ago. I kept it because I thought the gearbox drive would be useful
some day. It's more a stalk mower that a grass mower, the spindles are directly across from ea other, thus leaving a
gap between the blades. Mine has (or it did) an ID plate I'll look it up for you. I'll have to find the thing first, it's never rated inside storage. I came in to clean up for a meeting
in town so it won't be today. 85° and ugly humidity means I probably should hose myself off first...........

Located the mower plate and its a wood's rotary cutter, I was also able to adjust the clutch last night and shifting is much better
