If there is a perfect customer, Stan would be one of them. This fellow has farmed with CASE tractors most of his life. Once owning a 1070 and 1470 BK and did custom combining till about 1980 with a 1660 and 1665. His says all the machined he has run since still do not do as nice of a job as those combines did. At 85 years young he is still a master craftsman. He mentioned always wanting to build a CASE 4wd garden tractor this summer. I gave him a junked 446 to go with the one he had and just told him have fun. He is not quite done yet but I had to stop today to see the progress. It works great, he removed the CASE PTO clutch and added electric one. He would like to add a 3pt hitch and fit a mower deck out in front. I know he will do it, this is one of the easy things he has built in his lifetime. Rod.

wow Rod I think I am seeing double, I am pretty sure ACG will reply to this one. apparently he is not "one of a kind" LOL.
 
You are so correct, I have not met Loren yet, but these two guys seem to have very, very much in common, Rod.
 
Rod, I'm glad to see that there is someone else out there that has wacky visions like I do.
Theses are poor pics. of my 444-4. It's been on the back burner for a while now, stored away in my basement garage. Plan to get back at it this summer. The drop from the sheet of steel that made my 831C canopy roof was made from is big enough to form the roof for the canopy on this tractor.

That is great to see Loren, these means we get to watch another interesting project come together, Rod.
 
Man the knowledge this man has, hope he continues to spill a little more of it out! That is quite the 400 series! Or should we call it a 500series!
Great story on a good man Rod!
