I have had no luck finding my dads tractor, so I am trying to piece together what year it might have been, but having some mixed results so I am hoping that someone here can help.

It had the fixed crank on the front, which was spring loaded, but it was flat where it attached. It did not have the extra rounded part. It had live pto and a hand clutch. It also had rear hydraulic lines. It had the eagle claw set up, but the arms had been removed.

Unfortunately, I do not have the serial number, but dad always said it was a "1950 something"

any help would be appreciated as I am trying to find one just like it.

thanks
 
unless the engine block has been changed it will have the tractor model and serial# stamped in the engine flange behind the air cleaner, they are covered with paint at times

Thats good to know, thanks, but I dont have the tractor to find out. He got rid of it in 1994. And no one knows where it went.

Your title says DC4, is that the tractor you are looking for?

Yes. Its just that in my search to find one, some dont have eagle claw, or live pto, or the hand clutch, or some extra part on the front where the crank is. just trying to find out what years have all of those things with the flat front.

thanks.
 
Sorry was thinking you still had it,, do you know if it had a foot or hand clutch? 53 and 54 models would have a foot clutch, 51 and most 52 models only had a hand clutch, not many EH units was made in 51 and 54 was the last production year

His name was Don Crabill and he lived in Marshall, Michigan. I asked on here awhile back, but no luck.
 
(quoted from post at 01:57:17 10/20/17) It had the hand clutch.

Would you by chance still have the operators book for it? It might have the serial number written in it.
 
Live pto, hand clutch, eagle hitch....I think those clues narrow it down to late 51 or 52. I have a 52 DC with all those attributes. Cannot speak concerning a hand crank as my DC has a loader and I don't even own a crank for it. good luck. gobble
 
Never had a manual for it.

thanks for all the input!

Now if I can just find one for sale here in the U.P. or northern Michigan.
 
53's had a hand clutch, I had one (didn't like it much) some 54's were converted 53's with a foot clutch instead of a hand clutch, drawbar was different between 52 and 53
 

Ageed,on location ,,and 51-0r 52. Pops 51 DC came from Newtons Case near Effingham IL, it had the casting for 3 pt , no live power .. My 52 DC 4 came from COLFAX Ind ,.it has the 3 pt. live power handclutch. .. My 53 ft clutcher came fronm Versaiiles IN
 
the foot clutch came in late 52 to the non DI/SI/LAI, but a hand clutch was always a option but few had it after 52, I have the serial break here for it some where, the 52 DC-4 I sold was only a few hundred from the break,
 
That is a real possibility. Several years ago I bought a DC3 and when I came to pick it up the lady said there was an orange thing in the barn that went with the tractor. It was the original heart wide front from the factory, it had been converted to narrow front end shortly after it was purchased new. You never know what might have happened in the past. Don
