I'd like to promote a poll be taken from the folks who've read DCTom's earlier message as to needing to prioritize his time attending to personal family needs....

Like others who have replied to Tom's message I'm quite concerned that Case (CNH) will have the interest and/or take the time to reply to the inquiries asking for Info from the Case Production Data Cards that Tom so effectively shared with we Case owners/users/collectors.

So, I'm soliciting reply from youse guys, the Case Forum users, asking if this is indeed a shared concern?
Perhaps if the feedback indicates the concerned is across the Forum members.... another active Forum member/user could become keeper of the "Cards" and continue with the feedback that Tom has provided for many years.

As a retired Automotive Mechanical Engineer and small-acreage active Farmer with 7 Case Tractors and 2 Case Combines I consider myself a Case Tractor user/collector. I'm also an active member of this Forum. Although I don't often post messages, I read the usually interesting entries nearly every evening. Therefore, I'd offer my time to attempt filling DCTom's shoes (if that's possible) if the replies to this poll so indicate support of a continued need. Upon positive outcome of this proposal Tom may be able to promote to CNH (if that's in-fact required?) and we could move forward to keep the Card Reading Service within the Forum group.

Not trying to be political... but thanx for your review and consideration on this matter.
Jim Baxter, Carleton Michigan

I am also one of the silent readers of this forum because seldom post messages. I feel that this is an appropiate time to post this message concerning a lot of other Case information. In 2002-2005 the Racine Heritage Museum was donated a large portion of the Case Company's Archives. I have volunteered at the Museum for a couple of years now, and in the past couple of months I have had the opportunity to look through the processed items in the collection. If the Build Cards ever needed a new home I would highly recommend the RHM as a repository. The collection currently has many great items including the day books/ production books identifying the Case steam engines and boilers. For anyone attending the JICCA Convention this weekend there will be some of the rarer items from the collection on display.

Hi Jim, Just read your post, I'm just down the road south of you. Just want to say I think it would a great thing if you could carry on with the build cards, it would be a real shame for some bean counter at CNH to decide history does not = $$$ and send them to the dumpster. Just my2cw Good Luck

Hi Ralf,
We met today at Mark Oberly's auction west of Monroe. It was a pleasure meeting and talking with you.
Did you stay to see that the 830 CK COM Gasser sold for less that the Little Ford with a loader?
I've seen this disparity many times when it comes to tractors of most any color from the 60-70's in the HP range of 50-100. I guess too small for today's real farmers and too big for the average 2-5 acre country estate.

Anyway, as we discussed, I wanted to mention-confirm that the Modern version of this Website-Forum is accessible from the top menu bar shown on a forum page, such as this Case discussion forum. The link is titled: Modern View. It toggles you to the new version of the forum software. When there you can similarly, toggle back to this old forum by clicking on the Classic View link. Entries made on either forum show up in both versions, which is a recent enhancement made during the transition period.
I believe, time is marching-on, toward the newer version.

Have a good day. Jim B.

What size are these cards? Could they be scanned and posted on a web site somewhere?

A few years ago when I talked to Tom on the phone I was told that the books that held the build cards were in boxes that took up most of his garage. When someone would email him or write to him about a tractor, He had to go out and search it down by serial number.He had spent alot of time seaching history for me. He received the cards when case went ahead and put everything on microfish years ago, They were going to dump them in the trash.He made the promise that he would never profit from having them so thats why he would never copy and send the informatiom out to anybody. We collectors owe Tom a very big THANK YOU for what he has done for us and our hobby. I beleived he hoped that someday they would end up at the case museum that is to be built. I know Tom had given this alot of thought before doing this. Thanks again to Tom. Bill

I appreciate your offer and interest, but Tom, being a man of his word, may have already cut the deal, and he has the final say. I believe he has the best interests of Case collectors at heart, and will do the right thing.

I also appreciate Tom's efforts. I have also gotten good service from Rich Tworek who can , for a nominal fee, also provide photo copies of the builders cards... I have gotten them for my and my brothers tractors.

I only have 3 Case tractors and ,though not a collector,I consider myself a fan of them. I woulld rather see someone who has a deep interest in sharing the information available have them,as opposed to someone who does not.That having been said,there's a good chance that whatever the agreement between DCTom and Rich Tworek(sp?),there's probably not much any one can do to change that. Good luck,either way.....

It is best to keep that history in the hands of those that consider that work to be a service and a LABOR of Love , No doubt who ever takes up this Cross will at times feel OVERWHELMED with requests .. It is my Hope that the Build Cards are always kept safe and should the need come to pass the Baton ,That Good Folks Will indeed continue to step up to the Plow and Cheerfully serve .. I Salute all those that have Safeguarded this info in the Past and I pray that We will always have Dedicated People willing to serve in the Future .. Blessings To ALL ,, Jim , Owner of 12 JI CASE tractors and other fine equipment sold by Case

HEY! I'M NEW TO THIS SORT OF STUFF(DISCUSSION BOARD CONVERSATIONS--). I didn't even know this was/is available! I own a very early SC, and 2 dc3's also a dc4!! All were used on the farm I grew up on, and now own. I know that me grandfather bought the SC new. He said it was the first rubber tired tractor in Shawano County! Well, maybe yes and maybe no, but it is still in the SAME family, and on the same farm! I hope to get all the serial #s and ask for helpm w/ the new custodian of the records.(someday) Thanks to DC tom for his sacrifices to the Case owners out here, and best wishes with his wife. I hope she knows the Savior. What a blessing for me to be able to pray for both Tom & Mrs. Tom. No Jesus, No peace. Know Jesus, Know Peace.
