I was happy to find this site and hear from people who like DC's like I do. I have a DC4, serial # 8023553 HAND clutch, both brake pedals on the right, heart shaped casting for the front axle. It never had an Eagle hitch.I bought it from my wife's Aunt in Sheboygan Falls Wis. a few years ago and she was the original owner. I think it was bought from a dealer in either Oostburg or Gibbsville Wi.Many neighbors to her had almost the identical tractor. It still needs fuel/radiator work but I'm on track to resolving those problems. Any info anyone out there could give me about this tractor would be appreciated. John

Tom, thank you so much for this info. Over the weekend I was looking through the owners manual and it showed that this tractor was sold by a dealer in Plymouth, and it was a long name that starts with an L.It was the delivery form showing that they showed how everything works to my wife's uncle, John Mersberger.Since the eagle hitch was removed, did this one "escape" from the Racine inventory down the road? From what I can see, it has the rubber spring seat, but I don't have anything to compare it too otherwise. I wonder why it has the 80 serial # but no foot clutch? I happened to get a hydraulic rear housing off another DC parts tractor at an auction, but it has been sitting for some time now. I figured maybe that I would install it whenever it may need a clutch, but it does not look to have any parts for the eagle hitch. Is that an oddball?
I just bought a good used radiator yesterday from a fellow club member in Waterford Wis. and I took the fuel tank in to be boiled out in Union Grove. I will clean out the carb again when these parts are back on the tractor. I really like driving this tractor as it is not very long, the hand clutch works smooth and it is easy to steer. Thanks again for the info...John

That is probably Leonard Simmonsmeyer. He was the Case dealer/cattle jockey west of Plymouth on Hwy 23.

You have a very late model DC4. DC Tom will be able to give you build card information if you ask him. I would bet it was bought at Brugginks in Oostburg. There seems to be quite a few late model DC4's, although most have foot clutch and Eagle hitch. Good Luck on getting it going! Don

Don, thanks for the response. Now that I think about it, I think there was a delivery note in the owners manual that came with the tractor which is basically a check list of the dealer showing the purchaser how to check fluids, starting info, etc. It has a date on it so I will look it over to see if Briggink's name is on it. Should I send DCtom a direct message or wait to see if he or someone else repsonds with build/shipping info?

John,
DC Tom has many of the original build cards. He monitors this board quite closely and may read this post. If not, post for him directly and he will respond. He is a wealth of DC information! Does your DC have the rubber spring seat? That is one of the late model features along with 4" pistons and in most cases, a foot clutch. Don
