Was wondering what the LA and other comparable case models pull and in what gear? Also can an LA run a large sawmill? If anyone has any farming stories with these model tractors would love here them.

Rick,
I run a small #1 Lane sawmill with a 1951 LAE power unit and a 24" board planer with a 1941 LAE power unit. The 1951 runs on kerosene. Great old engines. I've tried to kill my 1941 several times, with rainwater somehow getting into the #3 cylinder, but the old girl won't quit. The wife and I sawed 500 to 600 board feet just today. I also have a 1949 LA tractor restoration project that I got from Minnesota a couple years ago, and a 1953 LA engine I picked up in Colorado in '94. LA 's are VERY scarce here in New Hampshire. The farms are small. Lots of 8N's, Farmalls, and smaller Case models. John Deere too. Take care.

DOwn in Northwest Kansas where I grew up, our 51 LA would handle 4 16's just fine. My second cousins pulled 6 bottms (2 3 BOTTOM PLOWS) with their 500.

Time for me to get up on my soap box again. Soil conditions mean EVERYTHING. Clearly people can pull double the plow on other soils than we can here in DePere, WI. An LA would have its hands FULL with 3-14's. Our 730 pulls 3-14's with nothing to spare. DC, 2-16's MAX. I'll stop now!

I drive a puny '44 SC so I don't know for sure but think it normally is LA 4 bottom, DC 3 bottom, SC 2 bottom, VAC 1 or 2 bottom. Dr. Cy Kosis has been known to pull out stumps with his LA.

Geeeez..... ..... I've got to give up drinking until I black out.

I can't remember ever pulling a stump in my life and I sure didn't know I'd bought me an LA.

LA's have...(gasp) ....styled sheet iron on them..... . Eewwwww ww!

Well I screwed up - my BAD! Who has the LA that blew out the front tire in a parade and pulled out stumps with it??? I thought it was you - we need Schotte, the all knowing mensa of Case tractor trivia, to straighten me out!:^)

Don't laugh Cy... I'm looking at an LA myself. Need something with an electric starter for my Dad to play with.

An LA is good for 4 bottoms...

Really though, I like LAs just fine. 500s even better. Styled machinery just doesn't fit well with the rust motif I'm working with.

With a 500 you'll get 5 or 6 bottoms@16", depending on soil. One hell of a puller--like a freight dog team.
