Mike, You have a lot of good close ups. Do you have any of a DC4? Prefer mid fourties, concentrated on adjustable wide front. Ones in archives are kind of vague. Thanks, Nolegs

I think it's all been said but here's my understanding in a nutshell. There are a total of 3 DC styles and 5 styles of front ends. The D is the one I know the least about. It has 26" rear wheels and higher gearing so its ground speed is the same as the DC 3 and 4 which have 38" rear wheels. The D would be non-row crop, with neither front or rear axels being adjustable. It came with wide front only...? The non row crop DC 4 had a wide front with two wheel bases; a short in which the axel is about 4-6" behind the radiator, and a longer wheelbase which uses the heart shaped casting resulting in the axel being right below the radiator. Both wheel bases shared the same front axel. The row crop DC 3 came in 3 front end configurations; the single front wheel, the tricycle front with two wheels close together, and the adjustable wide front which had the same wheel base as the tricycle front. Thus a DC 3 can become a DC 4 by simply changing the front ends. Right folks? Glenn F.

DC-4 should have the front end sitting under the front like the Case D standard. The DC-4 with heart shaped front end still should sit under the tractor like the D. The DC with the adjustable wide front is still considered a DC-3.

The Case D has nonadjustable rears and nonadjustable wide front. The DC-4 has adjustable rears and nonadjustable wide front.

Ds have 26" tires on the back. DC-4s have 38".

Hi nolegs,

Yeah- I'm kindof a picture pack-rat. It's a lot cheaper to collect the pictures than it is the tractors! (grin)

I don't have any mid 40's DC's with the AWF, but here's a gallery with a late model DC that might have what you are looking for.

Thanks Mike. I think that is what I was looking for. I hope Glenn F is reading this too, so I can ask you both this at the same time. My (origanal) Case service manual for the D series has a picture marked DC-4 with a wide front that sits out front like Mike's picture, but you can't tell if it's adjustable or not. Yet if you type in DC4 in the photo archives on this site, you will find 3 pictures of wide fronts that sit under the front like a standard D. What's correct? Also the description of an original DC-3 is tricycle front single or dual front, not that couldn't put a different front on one, if you had the parts. After all some guys have used fence posts as steering parts (grin). Mike also has the right perspective on the difference between tractor and picture prices (grin and cry at the same time). Thank all you guys for your help, Nolegs

I think the DC4 that you refer to with the front end further ahead might be what is refered to as the heart front end. It has a casting that mounts the standard front end under the grill rather than behind the radiator. LOL DK

A DC with an adjustable wide front end would be a DC3.
