Where do I lay my hands on a copy of this book? For that matter, are there any other good books on Case? I am of course looking for info on the letter series tractors and implements of that era.

Eric

Here are some you should get. Case Photo History by April Halberstadt...Case buyers guide by Peter Letourneau...Full steam ahead by David Erb and Eldon Brumbaugh. I don't remember the quotes from mike so I am not sure which they came from. I like the old original books and lit. because I have found some stuff that is not right in all of these books. I looked at a new book at books-a-million and they had a caption about a Case C and a picture of a L. I also have one that said the Patterson tractor (case built in 1892) was not built till 1894 and I have lit. from the late 1800s that proves it was. If you really want solid info buy the original stuff on e-bay from or close to the time period.

That's what I'm trying to figure out...

Hi Eric,

I don't know the name of the book...all I have is a Xerox copy of a chapter that my friend Mike Ballash in Canada mailed me.

The chapter that I've got is 55 pages long and is titled "The Flambeau Series- 1939 to 1955."

It's got great pictures and engineering prototypes and stories, plus it's the first book I've seen that listed the running engineering changes by the serial numbers of specific tractors.

My friend only had a Xerox copy as well- but he thinks that the chapter might have originally come from a book called "Full Steam Ahead"- or it might be from "150 years of Case" by CH Wendel.

The Wendel book is out of print- I've got it on my "wish list" at Half.com if a copy turns up.

I just did a web search- and the full title of the other book is "Full Steam Ahead : J. I. Case Tractors & Equipment 1842-1955" I'll be ordering that one.

CASEPOWER collects a lot of Case literature & info... maybe he can solve the mystery of the mystery book for us.

Whatever book that is- I'll buy it if I can find it!

Good luck, -Schotte

Thank you, John H ! (and thanks for remembering that "c")

I just ordered a copy of Full Steam Ahead about 30 minutes ago... glad to see I made the right choice! (grin)

I hope their chapter on the crossmotors is as good as the chapter on the Flambeau Years was.

Hey Mike, there is about 47 pages covering the first tractors up thru the cross-moters. Some on plow, autos, combines plus a few statistics in the back. David Erb is also the editor of the Old Abe's News. If you haven't joined the JICCA the twenty is well worth it. Always enjoy looking at finish on the SC on the home page. Would like to see the entire tractor.

John

O.K.- ask and you shall receive, John...

That SC grille picture shown on the JICCA website is off of George Willer's 1942 SC. He doesn't have as many pictures posted of it posted on his website as he used to- but you can see some of them at the link I've listed below.

I sent George an e-mail a few months ago telling him how much I admired that particular grille photo. I told him that he had inspired me to give it a try on my old rusty SC grille.

Of course, I painted grille in the backyard with an aerosol powered suction sprayer... so my results weren't quite as nice:

Thanks for the info on Old Abe's News. I've been meaning to join for awhile, but I keep forgetting.

I don't know if I could stand waiting around on a quarterly publication, though. (grin)

I might have to purchase some of their "back-issues" to keep me going in between times...
