A neighbor had to move some tractors off his ex wife's property so I made a deal with hime on 2 parts AC "B's" and a CA widefront. He asked me if I would take this old case tractor too, so I got the case for nothing. Actually, I am paying for the Allis CA and all the others were just thrown in the deal. We dragged it home on bad rubber and one bare rear rim. The rear rim was shot anyway. It was only a little over a mile away. Anyway, the serial number is 5105012SC which if I figure the Serial number scheme right makes it a '47 model. (What did Case do, lump all serial numbers together regardless of the letter disignation?)
The old tractor is really not bad. If I were planning to restore it, it would need one rear rim, 2 fenders because of rust and lots of sanding and TLC. The rest of the tractor is complete except for a missing carb. I have never had any experience with working on old Case's. My first thought was to part it and offer parts to other restorers but maybe I should consider the possibility of restoring it myself. The only dent in the sheet metal is a small one on the top of the grill that I could easily pop out. My question is: Is this tractor any more difficult to work on that my AC's? Sleve kits in the engine? How heavy is this tractor for hauling to shows? Any thoughts or comments would be welcome.
Thanks,
Dave

I've owned my 52 SC for 5 years now, I use it to plow snow in Maine. I absolutly adore it! Just replaced the diff. seals (Brake trsfer things) Easy job of it. 10 gallons of new 90 wt oil ran me 1/2 as much as the seals. Hope I can follow your restoration if you decide to go for it.

Twofoot,
I just posted a new message stating that I have decided to go for the restoration. What I don't know is how soon I'll get started on it. I have a couple of AC's and a Ford 2N started already. I think I'll start accumulating parts that I need, work on the '41 WC and the '41 Ford and let the local high school ag equipment class work on my '55 WC45. They just completed my '37 WC this spring and I am pleased as punch with the outcome. After that I can move the SC into my shop and start tinkering. In the mean time I'll get some tires on the front and if the Farmall H rear rims fit like I think they will, I put them on the back so I can move the tractor around. Hope someone can tell me if they will fit right. Measuring the inside diameter of the rims, it looks like there is less than 1/4 in difference.

Thanks for your input.
I'll try to keep you posted on the progress.
Dave

I just took mine apart this afternoon. I'm doing a ring job. I haven't looked around much yet but here are some prices Don L. quoted me: Rings, set of four $75, recinditioned rod bearings, $50 each, reconditioned main bearings, $165/set, sleeve/piston kit, $995. New rods and mains are not available. I think the tractor weighs 4200-4300 lbs. Mine is a 1954.

Just did a little reading in the archives tonight. It says the dual wheel narrow front weighs 4513lbs.

Thanks Glenn,

4500 lbs isn't as bad as I thought. I expected it to be considerably more weight than my WD45 because of all the cast iron. Maybe I'll consider restoring it. At least it will still be an orange tractor rather than one of those "ugly" green things.
