Are SO tractors rare or common. I don't see many listings about them. I found 8 of them in Calif. when I visited a friend there this spring. They were in fair to running condition. I bought one with the accesories missing to restore. I plan on parting out a SC I have to fix up the SO. This is my first posting on this forum, I like all the helpful Case info I find here thanks

Steve I have a 1942 SO which also came from CA. I will start restoration this winter. I have repro cones and cowling but need fender skirts. Contact me, it would be interesting to have someone to compare notes with.

You have arrived at the right place for Case help. Ever since I was a kid I thought something was wrong with me because of my affinity for old SC Case tractors. Even my wife thought there was something wrong with me - but look at all the people on this board! We cannot all be crazy - well maybe! Are SOs loud with that short muffler? Dad used straight pipe on his SC and it was pretty loud. Very few SOs in Indiana - no orchards. I don't think I have seen one in person.

Thanks for the info. None of the so models I saw had full tin, just the fenders for SO models.
In my parts book they showed both full tin and just fenders for the SO tractor. In Calif. they used these tractors in vinyards and orchards, and still do.

Steve-

Welcome to the Case board.

SO tractors were made from 1941 to 1952, with none being made in 1943 and 1944. There weren't any made in 1946 either due to the strike at Case. (although I've heard of some SO tractors being "assembled" by dealers in Florida during the strike year.)

There were 1,817 SO units built, so they are the rarest of the "S" series...(unless you count the 70 export SO-EX models)

Of the SO tractors that were made, I couldn't say how many were shipped with full tin. You see a lot of DO's without the tin from the factory- and I'd guess the SO's were probably similar.

Mike: industrial tractors after 52 were numbered, SI became 50---DI became 40 and LAI became 50-- same tractor but different designation .
