Looking at a Case tractor here, it has a serial number that reads DI 4607538 which I think makes it an industrial D of 1942 vintage. Anyways, any industrial photo's I have seen of the D's have the unstyled (exposed) and square radiator shell and the smaller rear wheels and tires. This one has the regular styled cast iron grille etc. at the front end (standard wide non-adjustable front axle) and it looks like a DC4 with the big 38" rubber on the back. But, the rear wheels and axle are not adjustable for width, they are fixed in position like the smaller wheeled versions of a regular D. Also, the inner cast rear wheel hubs are a bit different than on the DC4 models, they are slotted but not as deeply notched towards the axle area. The front cast iron axle has some sort of a cast iron "lift" casting on top at the middle which pins in the original axle's pivot hole and raises the front end of the tractor up about 2-3". Further up is this part's own axle pivot hole. This appears to be a manufactured casting and is not a homemade riser assembly. Can you shed any light on this tractor and maybe check out the original build sheet for any information. Thanks very much.

Way up there,, what you have is a DC-4 of early vintage, all cards for 1942 are lost so i cant say for sure but my guess is a DI was comming down the line and they had a rush order for a DC-4 and they just put the raiser block and standard front axle for a D, (industrial DI had a much heaver axle) and big wheels on rear, check the serial number on block right behind the air cleaner and see what that says, tom

Thanks Tom, the serial number was from the back edge of the engine where it joins onto the tranny so it's not in doubt, it is definitely stamped "DI". I guess anything can happen. Sounds like the 38" rears weren't used on the industrials. And this one definitely has what is probably just the regular front axle. It has two interesting lights on the rear fenders, big ones with flat glass (same as on a Cockshutt 70) so I'm not sure about those. The mounting casting for the lights fits the curve of the fender perfectly and is sort of a "ring" casting on a base and you access the light anchor bolt (and the wire too through there)through the middle of the ring. Thanks for the help.
