Hey guys, dad and I have pretty much all Oliver and IH stuff mixed in with JD, Silver King, 1 AC, and a 4600 and 5600 Ford. BUT, this is our first Case! We bought it last summer for $500, has new rear tires, so thats a plus. We have nothing against Case tractors, we just never see any around here. I don't know another person that has a Case around here aside from some of the bigger white and orange and tan and orange ones on the farms. Anyway, this is a real straight tractor, but was bought knowing it has/had a knock. Older guy owned it, and was using it at tractor pulls when in the middle of a pull it started knocking, he shut it off immediately. So I guess what I was wondering was, are engine parts hard to find? Rod bearings, main bearings, etc? Or are they poured bearings? I haven't been able to find much about them online. Do they really have a wet clutch? I did see that online somewhere. What are they, a 3 plow tractor, about like an M Farmall? Or don't they have enough tire? Pretty sure it will have to be split anyway and have the crank ground, but could the work actually be done through the access covers, if not? Or are they just for looking? And, I didn't check it out too much, but I believe those weights on the fenders are the front wheel weights for that tractor, or do they belong to something else? Now I need to get it moved inside and see whata happenin' in there, but that probably won't be for a while since we haven't even been able to start farming yet.
