I have been looking for a DC Case to refurbish. I found one that has a nonadjustable wide front end and the rears on steel. I have a fair idea this is a War model tractor and is in decent shape. My question is this...because it is on steel is it geared differently than other DC's? The reason I ask this is because I enjoy organized tractor rides and usually they want you to travel at a speed of 12mph. Do you think this tractor will fit my needs.
Thanks for your help...I enjoy reading this forum

Rev John: If you are into speed Case's aren't for you. JI Case wanted to protect us all from errant farmers barreling doenw th road on their tractors at excessive speed (any thing over 10mph)..I even remember a vintage Case ad that pointed out that as a safety feature. That said a DC on rubber is only good for 10.4mph..according to my operators manual a D on steel was 9.36. After listening to the gear noise in 4th on my DC3 I don't try for any land speed records...(according to the builders card the release of my tractor was delayed while bull gears etc. were replaced because of excessive noise...they must have needed ear protection...

There was an agreement among tractor manufacturers to limit the top speed of farm tractors primarily for safety reasons. Most tractors have a high center of gravity and are prone to tip over in sharp turns at higher speeds. In the early years of tractor building, there were tractors that could exceed 40 MPH. MM had one that was advertised as plow in the morning and take the family to town in the afternoon. Additionally, any speed beyond 8 MPH on a tractor on steel is an experience few would be willing to endure.

I thought that the SC was the only model that whined and knocked in 4th gear!:^) However, it is a great tranny for working. I marvel at how easy it shifts whenever I plow snow with mine. I flushed the transmission with kerosene a few years ago and filled it with new 85W140. It really helped it a bunch - settled some of the noise down in 4th gear. You get a lot of time to enjoy the beauty of the landscape when riding a Case through the countryside.

Hey Todd, you, and all of you SC and DC collectors, really should take the back end off and check your chains. All of the DC's weve been re-manufacturing had loose chains, two were actually wearing groves in the bottom of the gear case. It dosn't take that long, and it will really quiet things down, if your bearings are good.

John, Good profession! Hey, I think you'll get your teeth jarred loose trying to run steel wheels at 10 plus mph. A lot of the Steel jobs didn't have 4th gear, from what I am told (could be wrong). You need to check. I know of no slower rear sprocket that the 38 tooth, so, if you have the fourth gear you should be able to do 10 mph, but consider switching to 38" rubber for the sake of your kidneys.

Thanks for the info. I have a passion for the DC. Cut my teeth on one..spent a lot of hours pulling 3-12"s. I forgot to add I was going to change that steel to the biggest rubber I can find to get some added speed. I know they are kind of pokey and i might need some ear plugs to block out the rear end whine!

Have a great day!
