Case VAC

I have a question about the VAC. I have several Case, a 49 VAC that has never left the County I live in and was sold new by Walter Scharf Motor Case dealer in Las Animas, CO. when new in 49. I also have a shorter stubbier looking Case just plain V. Today I bought another that really resembles the V but has a serial number tag VAC50 is first two so I know it is a 46 model. The front end and mounting on fron end looks just like my V. I guess to start with, what all differences were there in 46 to 49 V and VAC tractors.

I can't help you with your question as I am not a V series person, but Thank you for posting the name of that Case dealer. I'll add them to the list. Don

Don, you don't miss much do you !!!

The only major change on the VAC (that I know of) was in 51. The grill and front end changed. Im thinking the VAI's may have had a different front end as well. Pictures would help on this. Someone more knowledgeable than me will come along and may be able to shed some more light.

Thanks,
Lee

LOL It's kind of an obsession.

If you haven't been there, tractordata has a lot of information on the V, VA, etc.

Lots of differences between the V and VA series. The V series was a parts built tractor with a Continental 124 flat head engine and a Clark transmission and rear axle. The V and VI and VO tractors were short coupled standard tractors and 24 inch rear tires and fixed wide front axle. VC tractors were built with the same continental engine, stilled used Clark transmission and rear axle, but different transmission gears. Rear tires could be 28", 30" or 32 inch. VC was a row crop cultivating tractor and could be had with single front, narrow tricycle or fixed or adjustable wide front.

VA series tractors were all Case built tractors and used 124 Cu. In. overhead valve engines. VA, VAI and VAO tractors were fixed wide front on 24 inch rear tires. VAC tractors were row crop cultivator type tractor could have 28", 30" or 32" tires and could have single front, narrow tricycle or fixed or adjustable front axle.

About the only parts that will interchange between V and VA series tractors are the rear wheels.

Other variations of the VA series could be VAH or VAS basically a VAC with dropped rear axle housings and taller wide front axle.

There are other variations, but won't go into that this morning.

Tried to add a comment but wouldn't let me. These are my V and one of my VC's. Note they both have the chrome strips. V is 1940 and VC is 1942.
