I have the Case Photographic History which is pretty decent but has a few inaccuracies(like passing a JOHN DEERE off as a CASE!?) I want to add some Case books to my library, preferably one with good VA series coverage since I have a VAC now. What does everyone suggest?

Thanks!

I have a copy of Wendel's book, and I'd never part with it. Maybe if you can find one on EBay, snatch it up!!

They may be very hard to find but I used to like looking at the Case service manuals. Not the IT's but the ones actually printed in the Case print shop in Racine. Its really interesting seeing the pictures in the old manuals where the technician is using the big end wrenchs when compared to the same wrench opening in todays wrenchs like craftsman, snap-on, etc. Its also neat seeing the test equipment that they used back forty years ago.

Hey Fireman,

You are right about the CASE Photographic History book.

Here are some books that you might like:

Full Steam Ahead: J.I. Case Tractors & Equipment 1842-1955 by David Erb and Eldon Brumbaugh. It's a great book with lots of info on the various models:

Full Steam Ahead

There's another book called 150 Years of J.I. Case by C.H. Wendel. It's out of print- but I'm looking for one. I know that Don L. and CASEPOWER own a copy and recommend it.

150 years of J.I. Case

Below is a link with an earlier review of some other CASE books I've got. Hope it helps.

Archive Post- Review of Case books

The only thing I've gotten new since then is J.I. Case - The First 150 Years by Michael S. Holmes. It's a good book with some interesting pictures... but it's more about the history of the company than the individual tractors themselves.

Thanks for the link. I did a search on "books" and got about 1200 responses from the Case forum archives! It would have took me two days to go through them. Sounds like I need the Buyer's Guide. As much as I hate to see the wonderful D and S series tractors given the short end of the stick I really need VAC info. Thanks again.

BTW, here's a pic of my first Case, I sold her to fund another project that was further along. One day I'll get another SC, or maybe an S, or D, or DC-4 or...

Mike, I would add Peter Letorneau's (sp) buyer guide updated version. Good book to refer to about models. Hey, I've put out feelers with a couple of locating services for Wendels book and they can back the other day with a used one for $110.00 plus shipping and tax. Too rich for my budget!
