not that many of these standard diesel 400 tractors around. I like the looks of them , are they a good unit? they would be competition to the massey 44 special and ihc 450 in 1956 57 era.
 
If comparing the diesel versions of each tractor the Case is the winner in my opinion. I?ve only seen one MH 44 standard and no 450s or 400 standards. Typically wheatland farmers needed all the power they could get.
 
The Case 400 standard would compare very favorably with the 44 standard or w400. It would have slightly more horsepower and a direct, easy start diesel engine with 8 speed transmission. All around good tractor.
 
This one has spark plugs, but it as a workhorse for sure. Original work clothes and original farm still. 8 speed and live pto keep it very useful some 60 years later.

nice unit, I notice it has the clam shell fenders also. wonder if its the first 1955 model. I just got one and it has the full wheel cover fenders.
 
Ummm my smart aleck reply is that the 400 pulley does not block access to brakes and doesn't mud up so no reason to remove it. I assume with stock tires, the belt pulley does not build up inside and out on D and LA?
This 400 wore the paint off its pulley filling silos.
 
What I meant to say was that almost all the 400 standards I have seen have a belt pulley and almost none of the 400 row crops I have seen have one. Makes me wonder if standards came with one and row crops had it as an option? I vividly remember, when the soil conditions were just right, you would get a faceful of dirt sprayed up from the pulley on our late model D. Long time ago. Don
