I bought a Case 1953 SC tractor and I really like it. It has the Eagle 3 point hitch that works great. The question I have, is there any way to add some weight on the front. This is my first Case tractor and don't know much at all about them....Thanks...Dixieland

The 150 lb. weight sits inside the front casting below the radiator. The cast iron front wheels weigh around 100 lbs. each. If you need to add more weight and can't find any, you can always buy some square tubing (2-1/2" I think?) and put it in the cultvator openings and hang weights on it.

The CASE SC also has a set of front weights that bolt to the culivator clamp on each side and meet on the front,I bought a pair when i bought my SC at a sale and have never seen another pair on or off a tractor, I dont now the weight but i would guess 75lbs per side. CLIFF

I bought mine about a year ago. Do you have the cast-iron wheels on the front as well as the 150 lb. weight under the radiator? It will not be visable if the tractor is fully assembled. Glenn F.

Those three holes are for mounting the wishbone for a wide front. This past summer I switched mine over from a narrow front to an adjustable wide front. In the process I removed the radiator. I was surprised to discover the perfectly molded weight laying in the casting below the radiator. I understand all agriculture SC's had this weight from the factory. If yours doesn't have one someone has removed it. I would have to go out and look at mine but I don't think it's visable when the tractor is fully assembled. We have had Cases in our family since about 1945, but this one is the first SC. The SC is little brother to the DC (we bought one new in '51, and currently have 3 DC's in service) much as the H is to the M. I understand there were bolt on weights for the SC/DC front end but they are quite uncommon and I have never seen a set. While my SC and DC have eagle hitch, most of our experience has been with the non-eagle hitch models. Very good tractors and like most of that vintage were virtually indestructable given minimal upkeep. Glenn F.

Hi Glenn...The front wheels look like solid discs. I will have to look and see if the weight is there. Are those the only options?...Thanks...Dixieland

Dixieland, you can't see the weight but if you have an eagle hitch and connect anything you'll know if the weight is there or not cause she'll come up pretty quick. With the eagle hitch I would have to believe its there plus the front wheels should be cast. On all of the SC's we had, all were non-eagle hitch, we never had weights on the front, in fact I never seen any with a weight on the front. If you don't use the cultivator holes you should be able to fabricate some weight and mount it there.
