Seen at tractor show 2 years ago. Freshly painted with no decals. Definately a 4 cylinder GM engine. The owners father was loading it to take it to another show. They hailed from Lapel, Indiana. The father was explaining that only a few of these tractors exist. Telling they were converted to the 4-53 at the dealerships in the plains states. Wondering if anyone else has ever seen or heard about one. The tractor itself looked to be an LA.

Would be interested in viewing the tandem setup. Can you post them as a followup? Thanks, David

Your tractor looks pretty much like the one I saw. 3 differences though.....the paint scheme was orange with yellow hood, no frame rails along the sides of the motor, and the air cleaner was located at the left front of the motor. What is the proper model designation and year of your tractor? Did you win the pull? Thanks, David Kendall

The pull was a play day, this tractor did great. Not mine, guy just let me drive it. It almost flipped over on him, traction was better than expected!

It is an LA Case with the 4-71 GM diesel in it. I'm thinking the early LA tractors were flambeau while the later ones had the 2-tone paint scheme? Not sure though. I don't know the year.

Email [email protected] - his brother had one of these a while back. Just mention this tractor and Steven@nd and he should be able to point you in the direction of someone who can help...

No LA's or 500'rds came out two tone. I painted two of my LA's Flambeu and Desert Sunset. to match the 600'rds

Yes they made a conversion for the L/LA but it used the 71 series not the 53. Most of the tractors will have a 3-71 but there are a few with the 4-71. I own one and know of quite a few more so I would not call them rare but different.
