Help identifying a Case

Dave Rasmussen · Sep 16, 2009

I'm wondering if anyone on this forum can help identify a Case tractor. Photo is posted on the "help identify" gallery. It was my dad's "baby" and he left it to my son when he died. We're trying to get whatever information we can since we don't seem to have any paperwork or manuals for it. I remember riding on it with him when I was a kid in the 1950's but I think it's quite a bit older than that. (I haven't been able to get to where the tractor is stored to check for a manufacturer plate, but I'd be surprised if it's still there). Thanks for any help.

Looks like it might be a Case L. Check the tool box for a serial number plate.

Still think its a C like Toot said. Look for serial number on tool box or left side of engine block towards the back. Should be stamped there. Most of the early L's had bigger fenders and were angled on the front.

Definitely a C; the rear wheels are a dead give away.

Hello Dave,

Here is a picture of my 1930 C Case. It is on rubber but was originally on steel just like yours.

My guess is a Case C as I don't see the inspection plates on the side of the block and it looks like I can see inspection plate on the oil pan thru the spokes of the front wheel.

Wow - that's a real beauty. Nicely done - we've got a ways to go to get it in that good of shape. Thanks for sharing the photo.

Hi Dave,

I've had a lot of fun taking the little tractor to shows in my area for the last few years.

I think the tractor is mainly correct except the color of the wheels. They should be painted red! I bought the tractor from the grandson of the fellow that did the first restoration and he, for what ever reason liked black better. We've left it that way in respect to him.
