Case RC question?

I've noticed that somewhere along the line, Case went from a 'stright over the top' steering set-up like the IH F-20 on the RC, to a 'chicken roost' type of sterring. When did they do that and does anyone know why?

The steering was changed when the "R" was switched to Rock Island. Production problems arose and they switched to the side steering like the SC and DC.

I've always preferred the looks of a wide front tractor myself although narrow fronts are fine too EXCEPT the Case models with the chicken roost steering system. I just can't get to like that big, huge steering assembly sticking out in front like it was added on by an amateur design man. I have no idea well they work compared to other narrow fronts, I just know that I'm not fussy about the looks.

You may not like the looks but they worked as well as the others. Having farmed with both the SC and DC for many years I never had any steering problems. In fact they were better to steer than the H Farmall my Uncle had.

1935-36 RC's had over the top steering. 1937-40 had the chicken roost steering. The 1935-36 were made at a different location(factory) than the later models which may have something to do with the steering change.
