I feel I need to follow up on this issue. Here is the facts. And I can prove them. The L case not only came out on steel, but also cast centers and steel rims so you could mount tires to them. This was a option that came about approximately 1936. True the LA also had the steel wheel option as well as cast centers and rims for tires. If I remember rIght the L used 28 inch rubber and the LA used 30 inch rubber. The mag generator was a CASE factory option for tractors such as the CI and LI from the early 30's. I have a 1931 CINT with it. The 1938 CC, L, 1939 and 1940 DC used it and probally the 39 and 40 LA.
After looking at the picture closer I would check on a few things. Check and make sure the rearend is a 3 speed and not a LA 4 speed. I am not possitive about the steering wheel that is on that tractor it looks as though it is a LA style instead of a L. With this said it is possible that the 1938 L used that style of steering wheel. Once again they are rare enough that I am not possitive on the steering wheel. The bottom line is this tractor could be a very nice ORIGINAL tractor. The price is probally top dollar on it, but once again it could be worth it to you. I would do a little more research in some of the areas that I talked to you about. The tractor hobby is a never ending learning hobby. I still learn everyday. Charlie English JR
