Two questions: Did a DC ever come factory with a distributor? Also, did a DC Eagle Hitch, have a step bolted to the left of the PTO? Our other Eagle Hitch tractors have that.

Hey Old School; You have the steps on the Eagle arms, but the step Glenn is referring to was bolted to the side of the PTO on the later Racine tractors, up to the Comfort Kings.

Hey Glenn; As per your earlier post: You said that DC has Eagle Hitch, Hand Clutch. There should be a """5" before that "6" in the seriel #. Therefore the 1st 2 digits would be 56 making that DC a 52 which is consistant with the way your DC is equipped.

Hey G.F. No self respecting SC or DC would be caught at idle or wide open with a distributor. No, a distrib. was not available. The step you refer to was not on the DC.

John, thank you for your responses. Regarding the serial number issue, I guess I'm just gonna have to wait till I can go have a look at the original engine block which is 130 miles frome here in Marshfield, WI. Clearly the first digit on my serial number plate is a six, with no room, for a preceeding digit. If I were a little more literate at this computer stuff I'd try scanning my serial number plate and posting it. This pursuit has been fun but it's beginning to drive me crazy. Another unrelated point, as long as I'm yammering, is there were no DC's manufactured in '54. Correct? They were just re-tooled '53's in an effort to move them now that the 400 was out. According to "Full Steam Ahead". However DCTom says "Full Steam Ahead" contains many inaccuracies. However it seems to be referred to as an authoritative source on Case tractors. Glenn

Hey Glenn; I'm certain no DC's were produced beyond '53. I had even been told that the last year of production was '52, but that these '52's were retrofitted with foot clutches & renumbered as '53's. I'll let DCTOM have the final say on that. My Dad, who sold CASE for 35 years said that as late as '57, CASE was still trying to unload DC's from stock.

ok boys here is the official word;

there were 5742 D series built in 1953, 420 D 3622 DC 3 and 1700 DC 4, most of these were changed to foot clutch and sold as 54's but not all, some 52 were changed also but not many, the hand clutch was still an option . also there were no D series built in rock island, that number that gearld has is in sync with the numbers i have here altho that perticular number is missing, rock island built the va series and the 300 round nose and the 200,300,400,500 and 600 B series racine built all SC.DC, and LA and the 400 round nose and the 700 800 and 900 B series. tom

So DCTom, I promise I'll give it a rest after this question. Does my serial number of 6022592DC make sence to you? I'm gonna check my old engine block# at my first opportunity. Glenn F.
