Guys I seen a "VAIW" Case at my neighbor's today and had never seen one before. Didn't know they made them. This on is all clean and is a (3). He doesn't have a (4) yet but looking. Has anyone seen one before? They were made in the first part of 1940's I think. I'll try to go and get a picture of it next week. The (I) stands for Industrial and the (W) stand for Warehouse. I bet he has 25 tractors of all kinds. Elliott

Elliot,

The best one I've seen so far is Gene Dotson's:

What do you mean by (3) and (4) ?

What the 3 stands for is 2 wheels on back and the 4 stands for 4 wheels on the back (Duels). Thats looks just like what he has with the hand rails on both sides and all. his was case red. Is this the right color it should be Don?.Elliott

I'm guessing the color has to do with whoever ordered the units.

I (think) that Gene's has a pintle hitch. I always assumed that it was a military model.

Of course, I've seen VAI's painted that same color, too.

Thanks for the info on VAIW-3 vs. VAIW-4. I couldn't figure it out... and I *knew* that there weren't any ROWCROP vaiw's! (grin)

Your right about that Mike I don't think there was a row crop one. What did you think of the fenders on them. ALL solid steel. You would not want to run over your foot with it. Elliott

Yes, mine was originally a military model. The factory color was OD green. The tractor still had fine grit and tar that was used to enhance traction for aircraft operations for landing.Mine is now painted army Green, which is the color that the cars were painted. The VAIW also came in -1 and -2 series with sheet steel rear fenders instead of the 800+ pound cast iron fenders... Gene P.S. Interesting thing on this tractor was that all of the assembly bolts were greased and even after 57 years of neglect, the bolts all could be turned out by hand once they were loosened...G.D.
