If memory serves me correctly, did not Case build an attractive automobile around 1924 or so? It seems to me there were actually three models of this automobile. I saw them in a book a long time ago, and a reference to them might be of intrigue to people using this website, particulary since the category is "Oddballs and Orphans."

You should try to get a copy of 150 Years of J.I.Case. You can find it in the book section of Yesterdays Tractors.It has a very good chapter on the Case auto.

You are correct, the J I Case Threshing Machine Company produced luxury cars from about 1911 until 1925 or 1926. My former Case dealer said his father was visited by a rep from Case who came in a Case car in 1927 to sign him up as a dealer. They really were nice cars and were way ahead of the times. Case was one of the first companies to sign up for the first Indy 500 in 1912. I believe that Barney Oldfield was one of their drivers. If anyone else knows more or if I'm wrong please let us know!

Cigs Jacobson has 3 CASE autos at his museum in Brocett, ND. Along with many CASE tractors. He had an auction a month ago but still has a nice collection.

Massey Ferguson 35 (and up) Tractor Assembly Notes - by Jack Wetmore. These assembly notes are for Massey Ferguson tractors with a two stage clutch and 6 speed, 8 speed and mutli-power transmissions. I see a lot of discussion forum messages regarding damaged clutches from improper assembly. The objective is to have the engine and transmission slide together safely and easily until the gap between the two halves is less than 1/4", BEFORE tightening any of the bolts holding the two together. Using bolts to draw the two halves together will damage the PTO
