Ok I'll try this again. here are a few pictures of the tractor I purchased. There is no tag where it is supposed to be the only number i can find (besides casting #'s are on the right hand side of the engine.

Looks to me like a Case VAI with a lot of missing pieces most of which I have

tomturkey · Oct 26, 2020

my guess is J.I.Case VA series, looks to me with the rear tires and rim structure maybe a VAI. The seat assembly, the 3pt lift arms,
the pto lever, the hood and latch look identical to my 1950 VAC. Not sure if VAI's had a pto or not. Good luck with your basket

[thank-you yes I do believe I'm missing a lot of pieces
I think I have found a complete engine but I know I'm missing the hydralic system and a few other pieces so I will keep yuo in mind when I get started on it.quote="old"](reply to post at 15:30:13 10/26/20) [/quote]

hank-you, that is what I've been told is the rear wheels and the front end or the biggest difference, and that a lot of the parts will interchange but not all will.

I have a complete VAI I would sell. It does need some TLC but does run or did when I parked it

Welcome to yesterdays tractor. You sure don't have much to start with. I
hope the other baskets are full.

super99 · Oct 26, 2020

Welcome to YT!! I guess I'll be the askhole and come right out and say it.I hope you didn't pay much for it , looks like all you have is a skeleton. That has money pit written all over it!!! Trust me, you can buy a running one cheaper than you can buy used parts and put it all back together. Find a runner and save what you have there for parts!!! Chris

totally agree , u have a parts unit and at that no engine parts other than a block as it was stuck in there to make it look like a tractor. not even a crank in the block! why did you buy it?

karlinpa · Oct 26, 2020

DONT LET PEOPLE DISCOURAGE YOU YOU DONT HAVE TO HAVE IT RUNNING TOMORROW LIKE JOHNNY CASH SAID ONE PIECE AT A TIME AND
IWISH YOU THE BEST SOMETIMES YOU GET A LOT OF PLEASURE FINDING THAT ONE PART AND THERE ARE MANY GREAT PEOPLE HERE TO
HELP YOU ON YOUR NEW ADVENTURE

I don't know where you are located, but I'm in Va. My grandson has one at my place in pcs, with lots new parts, and willing to sell, but we are probably far apart.

I think I posted on another page and said 1949 and after VAI,, closer looking at the front axle says its a 53-55 model Well worth saving

showcrop · Oct 27, 2020

Before you start buying parts for that one price a complete running one.

rustyfarmall · Oct 27, 2020

That tractor has potential. Might even be considered a candidate for a little "customization".

ss55 · Oct 27, 2020

Good running tractors don't often get cannibalized like that, do you know the reason it was used for parts?

Bill(Wis) · Oct 27, 2020

There are 3 pictures of a nicely restored Case VAI on Tractor Data. Start by looking up the VA. It will show listing of variants of
the VA. Click on VAI and info will come up.

dblettlrsn · Oct 27, 2020

Thank-you for that info. Still new here and not got it all figured out.
