First Case shows up on the farm

jon f mn · Jul 29, 2018

Went over to the farm to start some
more clean up today. We cut as much of
the grass as we could with Jeff's
haybine a couple weeks ago, then last
weekend I weed whipped as much as I
could. Getting this 6are looking nice
8s going to be a tough job. Today I
started on picking up the garbage that
is paying all over. Hopefully next
weekend will be some serious lawn
mowing. Then start on the fixing and
painting inside the house.

We have had a few issues getting our
house ready to close, but I think we
got the last of those issues worked
out. Closing is set for early
September. I'm not putting any money
into it til that is done, but I figure
some cleaning won't hurt anything, and
we will have a head start on that so
moving will go better.

Lol, They did leave me a mascot which
I thought was nice! How they knew I am
always Mickey mouseing stuff I don't
know!

The very first Case will be showing up on this farm shortly. (The old fellow I bought this place from had all Oliver). I just bought a VAC. I think it will be more operator friendly than the AC C.

What year and style VAC? I really like my 51 VAC.

I don't know much about it. Narrow front. 28" tires. Steering arm sticking out of the side. I think Loren told me the later ones had a shaft running all the way up front? This one has the hitch. Maybe they all do? Hyd. pump mounted on engine. I was surprised to see that this engine was designed with a distributor. There is no magneto mounting pad.

It will be delivered here. Then I'll have to tinker it up a little. It was painted up, and running a couple of years ago.

they can have a mag, the mage drive goes where the hyd pump is,, on yours with EH 1949 and after you would have had the same hyd pump you have but it has the mag drive coming out the back of the pump and the mag goes on there

I have yet to see anything you Mickey Moused. Looked at your farm on google maps and south side of the big barn roof looked a little off color or it was a poor picture. Happy moving--lots of trips to get all the tractors and machinery but at least not too far. Our move was 21 miles--drove 3 of the larger tractors with machinery and the rest went on the trailer. Good luck, it looks like a nice place, Gary.

From what you say, It will be one of the better ones with live hydraulics.

Interesting that they cast/machined a dist. drive into the block, rather than mounting a dist drive where mag would have been.

Bob Bancroft · Jul 29, 2018

I wouldn't have bought it without the hyd/hitch.

Yep, my 49 Vac has a magneto....

That kind of work I always enjoyed when you can see daily improvements, I bet it is nice when you are finished. We have a flare box that looks just like that one and works great for those clean-up jobs. Rod.

Jon, the "1030" and "DC" and others are going to love being in that nice dry shed!

as well as several non-case projects that I'll be able to work on in the winter now.
