I promised some photos of the DC's. Tap onto the following website for a photo journey starting with photos of the tractors as they arrived: >LinkThere>Link are 4 DC's involved. Two are being remanufactured as new, a 1951 DC-4, and a 1954 DC-4 heart shaped front with foot clutch. They have had every bushing, bearing and moving part inspected and replaced if at all damaged. The engines have been upgraded to replaceable rod bearings, new mains, new valve guides with oil seals. But everything else is 100% original except for the fenders, battery covers, pto shields, air stacks, clutch plates and cast iron cover plates for the hydraulic pumps, which we manufactured here Two others are being turned into the "PT Cruisers" of tractordom. We are just about done with one of the "DC-4x4 Turbo Diesels". With them only the power train and sheet metal is truly Case. Engine: Rebuilt 5 ton Mazda truck engine, turbo; Toyota Japan, Cat. II 3 point; Russian, 4x4 front end; Korean, Drop Box; Cambodian, Power Steering; Sweden, Right Angle gear box; China. Tricky parts were: drilling crank shaft to supply oil to the Case clutch, attaching the Case flywheel to the Mazda engine, reversing the rotation with the right angle box, figuring ratios for drop box. We estimate them at 75-80hp.
