Did they make 2 orchard tracors in the S model? I have seen both clam shell style fenders and the full fenders with the spears (see Case Photo's). Does the serial or model numbers show the difference. I know that International had OS-4 (Small fenders) and the O-4 (full cover fenders, spears, and side covers), did Case do the same thing and did they use different serial/model numbers. The tractor that I am looking at is believed to be a 1942 with the clam shell style (SC ?) fenders and the man has points for it also. You guy's are experts, can you help. Thanks, Bob.

When the SOs came to the dealership some had clam shell fenders others had full fenders all depended on what was ordered and what was available at the factory. The clam shell is the inner half of the full fender. The outer fender with the points, steering wheel cowling and air intake scoop on the hood made up the orchard tin.( Where are you located at in mich Bob E-mail me!)

It has been my understanding that the full orchard skirts, like on an 'O-4', were optional on the 'SO'. A basic 'SO' would only have the clamshell type fenders, like an 'OS-4'.

An 'S', like a 'W-4', is nearly the same tractor as an 'SO'. The muffler, air intake, and lights are the most significant differences between the two models.

An 'SC' would be a rowcrop style tractor, like an 'H'. It was available in both narrow and adjustable wide front ends.

If you can read the serial number, the letters in it will indicate the model. In most cases you can subract 4 from the first two digits in the serial number to determine the year.
