Hi, I purchased a 1952 DC4 for my sons 4 year FFA project. It runs real well needs the usual items like tires all the way around, a couple of oil leaks, and cleaning and paint. This tractor has a mag and would like to put a distributor on it. Does any one have one for sale? I'm also looking for a good parts supplier for gaskets and such. I ran this tractor on the feed mill and it heated up and then temp dropped quickly so I suspect the thermostat is sticking. We flushed the radiator the best we could and added new coolant but still did it. I paid 500 dollars for it. Good deal? Thanks.

My DC does the same thing when I'm useing it. The temp gauge will peg and i'll get a puff of steam from around the radiator lid and then it cools right down. It might do this 2 or 3 times in 2 hours of use. Im wondering if you replaced your thermostat ? I did, and I noticed that the original stat had a very small hole drilled in the flange and the replacement didn't. I thought what I would do is take the replacment thermo out and drill a small hole in it ( maybe the size of a pencil lead )out on the flange to see if it needs a little coolant bypassing the thermostat. At least I thought that this would be the cheapest thing to try first, but it will probably be next spring before I try. It's getting to cold in I O A to be riding the old DC now.

DC Dad bought new in 1941 still running on original mag. Only parts are one set of points in 60 years. In constant use untill 90s, occasional use since. Starts and runs great. Still 6 volt too.

I know this will appal people but if you are going to use it put a delco dist. on it. For a work tractor you're better off with the dist. because you can get parts anywhere within an hour, the mag is a different story, parts are avalable but you'll have to have them shipped and they are'nt as cheap. All of the ones we use have been switched and the ones we show still have mags.

The tractor is worth more with the mag on it. The price you got it for is probably average. The DC is one of the lowest priced antique Case tractors. You may have a bad water pump.

If that mag works , don't be a fool and trade

it for a distributor.
