Motor lift

In the mid 40's Case tried what they called a motor lift, or power lift. It is operated by a foot pedal. One push and it goes all the way down, another and goes all the way up.

There is one on an SC I'm looking at. Can these be used with or made to use with 3 pt. equipment? Seems like someone would have done a modification along the way. But maybe it was just useful with Case implements.

Any info would be appreciated.

I converted our SC to 3-pt. I used the existing bolt holes and other hardware, i.e. the motor lift, on the tractor. It has proved to be a wonderful addition, one that makes the old girl way more useful than she was. I'd recommend it to anyone...

I might have pics if anyone wants me to email them.

The CASE Motor Lift dates back to the early 30's or before. It was designed strictly for lifting and not for pulling as a 3 Pt. hitch is designed for. To alter it for 3Pt. use would be dangerous. Good luck, John

What was it designed to lift? Maybe I have mis-named it or something. I've seen some other posts about this, but never seen any responses from anyone who seems to know what it was really designed to do.

I have a photo, but am not sure how to post it here. If you are willing I could email the pic.

Thanks.

dbb62; The motor lift was as you described, being activated by a foot pedal. I remember seeing a piece of literature from the '30s showing a "CC" with motor lift. It showed an array of mounted tools; cultivators, planters, listers, maybe even plows. But the tools did not pull from the motor lift. Hope this helps, John

After I left the previous post I searched the archives and found similar answers, along with lots of interesting comments.

Bottom line, I don't think the motor lift is worth anything. Unless you can find the cultivators, etc., and want to use the SC as a garden tractor.

Thanks

I HAVE A '48 SC WITH MOTOR LIFT AND THE LIFT ARM THAT A HYDRAULIC '50 HAS. I'VE NEVER SEEN A LIFT ARM LIKE THAT ON A PRE-HYDRAULIC TRACTOR. IS THIS A MODIFCATION OR DID IT COME THAT WAY. I WANT TO USE IT TO OPERATE A REAR BLADE. CAN THIS BE DONE SUCCESSFULLY?

I have seen the hydraulic version of the motor lift adapted for use as a very light duty 3 point. To use the actual motorlift would get a little tricky. If I remember right it goes from down to up in about 1/2 a second. With any weight on it at all something would most likely break. Hope I've been of some help. Good luck
