I love old iron of all colors, but have a soft spot for CASE. We have about ten CASE tractors in the family ranging from a VAC14 to a 2670; all in operating condition. We have three DC's in service: a '51, '53, and '54. I have done rather extensive restoration work to my high option '54 SC and '53 DC, but neither of them are what I would call "restored" yet. I have kept all my receipts, but have made no attempt to keep track of my time. I have over $3,000.00 each into the SC and DC. I'm sure I'd be hard pressed to get my money out. I did, however add adjustable wide front ends to both tractors and a foot clutch, double spool hydraulic pump and 14" rear rims to the DC. I sure figured out the only way of hoping to recoup my investment is by keeping the tractor equipped as it was when I got it. I think I'm a pretty good shopper, but sought after options are rarely found at a discount. However, like most on this board, I had/have no intentions of selling. This is my hobby. Hopefully my rambling will be of some benefit to you.
