moving tractors around today for winter storage and thought this made a good photo a 1953 Case 500 and a 2012 Case IH 500 Quadtrac

Nice picture,that Jim Logering [however u spell it] guy from Casselton, new what he was doing when he invented that rubber track drive,and IHC new enough to buy it, that put em back into the big tractor market,
 
Quite a change in 60 years. I remember the neighbor getting a brand new 930 Comfort King. It seemed like a HUGE tractor.
Here is a pic I snapped earlier this fall, 1969 and 2004 35 years difference.

Great picture, thanks for posting! I see the 500 has power steering pump, was it factory power steering or added later? I think power steering was available on some cars by 1953 including Chevrolet, but most cars sold were not equipped with it.

A lot has changed in sixty years:
smart cell phones instead of party-line telephones;
internet and streaming HDTV instead of radio;
homes are now insulated and air conditioned;
to name a few.
 
it is a factory setup I cannot tell if it was added later or not as I bought that tractor about 12 yrs ago
