Tug 4 Sale

(quoted from post at 08:28:54 12/05/20) Kind of looks like a VAI-W by JI Case.
Now all I need is a plane to go with it.

I posted this earlier on the other site:

A quick Google search appears to ID it as a Case VAIW-3.

A Case history book states that "By the second week in July [b:3c80a55c65][color=red:3c80a55c65]1942[/color:3c80a55c65],[/b:3c80a55c65] wartime needs closed VA production for farm use, and only VAIW3 and VAIW4 (warehouse) units were produced. These were low-wheeled warehouse industrial-type units suitable for tow-motor work, characterized in many cases by a rear fender-weight arrangement of cast iron that weighed over 1000 pounds. The 3 and 4 number designations referred to single and dual rear wheel configurations. During wartime production, as many as 100 VAIW units were built daily". A photo caption says "note the running boards and the hood grab handles. This military model had special lighting for armed forces use - probably at airfields"

Yes as Duner said it's a case tug. I could have picked this one up cheap a few years ago but passed on it cause it wasn't a ford.

IH was also building tugs. Here's one on the sunken USS Hornet

f you guys are interested in Tugs search around Roswell, New Mexico. The base closed many years ago and left behind many relics. I saw a couple at a wrecking yard on the far West side of town a block or so North of 380 turning North next to an old gas station that is now an appartment/house? The one that sticks out in my mind had the tires completely surrounded. Sort of like a bumper car.
