Case LAI 1952

She has asked that I look into selling some of her late husbands portable property on eBay.

He had one very interesting tractor. It is a 1952 Case LAI. I can�t find any comparable tractors that have sold or really any information about this tractor.

It is not in very good shape and I don�t know when it was last used but I am sure that it was in the last decade.

Anyway, I would like to ask you good folks for any information you can offer on this tractor as well as to point me in the right direction as to what to look for and photograph to best represent this tractor. You can view photos at the photo link below
We would be most thankful for any information you could offer as well as any advice you may have.

Thanks,
Shawn Andrews

Wonder what the RS stands for... rally sport? (grin)

I have reviewed the board and if the number you need is not on the tag I think I can find it elsewhere based on information from other post.

Please let me know if the number you need is not on the tag and I'll go back to Aunt Jenny's farm and take another, better informed look-see.

If you or anyone else would like a better photo of anything or part of this tractor just reply as to what and where, I'll do my best to please.

Thanks Again to you and all the other posters.
Shawn

PS. Aunt Jenny has another Case(830) and Two Fords. One ford is really Old(and in in poor shape).

Thanks!

SER. 5523561
Contract NO. N160-s83-12037
USA REGISTRATION 1024126

The tag has another place for a SER. but no numbers.
If there is some other place I can find the Serial number let me know and I will look for it.

I have added a high rez photo of the tag below.

Thanks Again,
Shawn

Since it is an LAI it may attract the more serious Case collector. There were only 6125 LAI's produced from 1941-1952. Only 275 units were produced in 1951. Production of this is as follows:
1941 163
1942 521
1943 894
1944 982
1945 1407
1947 58
1948 1125
1949 400
1951 275
1952 300

I have seen a few LAI's before but nothing like the one you have.Maybe dctom can run the serial number and provide more information on the tractor. Keep us posted on the tracor. If you have any questions feel free to email me. I will help if I can.
