I have a 1945 SC that I think is in original condition. It has a barely readable dealer sticker and I would like to know if anyone has information on W.H.Bush & Son Sales & Service.The rest of the information can't be read. Thanks in advance for any information

Dennis,
Do you have any idea what state the tractor came from? In 1945 almost anybody could be a Case dealer. They were often 5 -7 miles apart and could be a farmer, gas station, hardware store, blacksmith shop, car dealer, etc. At this date farmers were making money again after the Depression and were called upon to produce as much food as possible. This meant a lot of machinery was sold. At one time Case had over 4000 dealers, many of whom were very small and did not survive into the early 50's.. Unfortunately this name is not among the dealers I have so far. I would sure appreciate any info you may find. Don

If nothing turns up, and if you know State dealer was located in, the State Corporation commission (or whatever the equivalent is called there) will have records of all corporations back to 00s, plus a lot of partnerships, assumed business names , sole propriatorships, etc. May even be online now, but if not State will usually search name for small fee. State records should give names of principals and when quit business, if not still going. Good luck.
Case, of course, has records, but may not want to take time to look up.

I am not sure if this was even a Case dealer. The part of the dealer sticker that is legiable "W.H.Bush" is all I can read. I belive the SC spent its life around Kenosha, WI.The old gent i bought it from only used it in his garden and it spent the last 35 years or so in his garage with the head off. As he recalled, He bought it used in 1954 or 55.
