Brand New 1470

I really am getting tired of the weather so I dug up a few pics, here is yours truly when I was a young pup and leaning on a new "TK" we had on the lot. I remember we were going to demo it, but Dad thought it was gut less, so we took it out to the farm and shop foreman and Dad followed me out with her, and did a "adjustment" (torque capsule) and she had the snot then.

Those historical pictures are great. Back then you actually had to make an effort to take pictures. Now we have cell phones with cameras and can snap pictures of anything,anytime and yet we don't save the pictures that we should. I am certainly not a big time collector but I have several old tractors and 3 of them are Cases. Here is my 1470 that I take out for exercise every spring. A friend of ours bought it brand new in 1972. When they decided to sell it a few years ago, I just had to have a "big" tractor to add to the lineup. The chisel plow is a 20' Case I picked up at an auction. Still trying to find the history on it.

Funny across the street, you see a 59 Chevrolet, this was my best friends brothers car "Agnes"! And the old IHC dealership too.
