We spent the morning dragging the free VAC home. We put a coil on it, fiddled with it a bit, and it fired up after sitting for probably over a year. Sounded good but smoked a bit. We drove it onto the Hi-boy dolly and headed for the house. Of course, once we got there it wouldn't hit a lick, and we had to use the ol' brown Farmall H to pull her into the barn. Naturally, I forgot to take any pictures. I must say it feels good to have another Case. We need a belt pulley, seat, and some other stuff but over all it looks pretty good. The tin is not too beat up, and it even has fenders. Of course, the serial tag is gone. Is there another way to determine year, like casting #'s, etc? I probably won't get a chance to work on her this fall any but am sure I will be around with plenty of ?'s. I guess I have a few years to get her going, my son is only 5 months old and can't quite drive yet. Wish me luck! Fireman

Great! Have faith-it'll run again. (Probably just junk in the carb or dirty points.) Those old Cases are TOUGH machines. Congrats on your find. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)

I wish I still had the VAC I had a long time ago. They were really a fun tractor to play with.

My wife's grandfather gave this VAC to a friend of his several years ago, it looked rough and did not run. His friend overhauled and painted it and plowed tobacco with it for a few years. One winter it sat out with a can over the muffler and a hole rusted in the can, and the engine filled with water. Bad. He put the motor from a different VAC in it that runs but smokes. This year he decided to get out of farming. He is having an auction this weekend. He told the wife's grandfather to come get the VAC since he gave it to him in the first place. I hope we can get by with rings but will probably just overhaul it. It has cultivators on it, fenders too. We need to get a seat for it, and a steering wheel. The tractor that donated the motor has fenders, seat, belt pulley, rear wheel weights and some other stuff, we may try to buy it Saturday for parts.

Anyway, we don't really need it, we use a 47 Farmall H to cultivate with, and he just bought a Farmall C with cultivators, too. The VAC will hopefully get fixed up so my 5 month old son can show it when he gets big enough. We should have plenty of time to make it nice for him!

Take care everyone, Fireman

Hey Less,

I found a good DC for you. My neighbor is selling his. It's a 1952 with the eagle hitch. Not many hours on it since I over hauled it. All it needs is a good paint job. $1000.00 should be able to buy it.

Wisconsin isn't that far away. If you start now you might have home by spring. :-)

I had a 48 SC. I decided to sell it to buy parts for my '64 Ford Falcon. Unfortunately, I ran out of money before I could buy everything I needed so I ended up with a car that did not run AND no tractor. Here's a pic of my old SC.

Hey ff316,

Now this is pretty weird... you had a '48 SC and a '64 Falcon?

I've got a '49 SC and a '63 Falcon Futura! We're one year off on each model...

Keep in touch, -Schotte

Nope, I don't have a Jeep.

You wouldn't by any chance have a '49 Case DC-3, a '62 Fleetwood Cadillac or an '82 RX-7, would you?

No, just a '47 Farmall H, a 91 Nissan pickup, and a '97 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Sounds like we have the same problem.
