I am new to the case tractors and am wondering if I have a vai or not. How do I tell from a va? Also, where is a good place to look for sheet metal and front wheels? I also need an exhaust manifold if anyone has one. Thank you,

Another way to tell if it's a VAI is to look at the shift pattern. If it's a regular H pattern, like on a car, It's a VAI. If 1st, and 2nd are away from the seat, it's a VA, or a wide front VAC (VAC13,14)

I have a pair of cast front wheels that are on an early VA front that I would sell. They are similiar to what is on the front of VC if not the same.

If you would like a picture, I could post it on Friday.

My email is open.

The VAI has the head lamps located on the front sides of the grill. The VAI, VA and VAO tractors had two wide axles that are identical, this is identified by tractor serial numbers. The VAC, VAC 13, VAC 14 and VAH had wide front axles, also. The VAI could have a sickle grinder assembly and sickle bar carrier mounted on the tractor. These tractors were used by many highway departments for roadside mowing. This information is from Case "VAI" tractor Parts Catalog No.R.I. D59 and Case "VA" Series Tractors, Parts Catalog No. R. I. E61

Easy way to tell is to look at the front axle center bolster mount. If it is a VA there will be only one support at the rear of the axle beam, while the VAI will have a support on the front as will as the rear and has a removable pin. The pin for the VA is welded to the single support... Gene

the front axle is the best way to tell...If it is a VA, the front axle will be 1.25 thick (1 1/4)If It's a VAI it will be either 1.75, or 2.0 thick. (1 3/4) If ith front axle is 2. thick, there should be evidence that it had a front end loader on it at one time....

Is there a tag on the Dash?? also is it a wide front, if so a VAI will not have the square holes in the cast iron part of the front end... Can you email me a photo???

You can find some sheet metal at Stamm Equipment in Wayland, Michigan Email me and I will try and help you

I don't think you can tell by the holes in the casting. My '48 VA does not have the holes above the front axel.
