Value of Case V with chrome strip on hood & SN location

My brother-in-law passed away a while back and left a few tractors behind. He had a couple of old Case tractors that he had bought and was going to restore. There is a "V" and a "VA" and an old 800. I ran across a note that he wrote that said the "V" was kind of rare because of a piece of chrome on the hood. I haven't been able to find out about much on a V except they were made between 1940 & 42 and what the serial number should look like but I haven't been able to find the serial # on it. Right now it has a bunch of stuff piled around it but not sure where I need to look. Anybody help on that?

Also, would anyone happen to know the value of a V tractor and/or if the piece of chrome has anything to do with the value.
Would appreciate any help that you could help with. thanks
 
Model V is for sure desired as they were made a short time and far less made than its brother the VC,, chrome strip means pre war production,, serial tag was on the dash, Condition sets price in the end,, pics would help a lot, does engine turn over, condition of tin, and if it is complete, rear tire and wheel condition, all change price

I think I got 3 pics uploaded that I have here. Not sure if I was doing it right. The tractor is about 75 miles from where I live but will go back in next couple of weeks and look for a SN. Haven't tried turning it over yet but it looks like it has been run since it was repainted by looking at the carb & exhaust manifold. Will have to find a crank I guess since apparently these didn't have electric start. One rear rim was off and looks like it has rusted holes. Still has the old tire on it. One guy suggested using a 24" Ford rim but wasn't sure it would work.

I could take better pictures of various angles if that would help.
Appreciate your help.

Thats sure a decent looking one electric start was a option,, I will need more info but Here and location does affect prices that little guy if it turns over and will run somewhat easy would bring 1500-2500 at auction depending on how many was there bidding, the rim can be found easy enough,, they can be fixed also but you need a rim to cut out the good part form to weld back in your old one,, those 24" rims are not bad to buy new at all seems like the starter on that engine is on the other side, I see it has lights on it so I would think you have electric start, there will be a metal push button starter button on the dash, I can get some pic of my VC to show you what I mean I have watched a long time for a nice V like that Congrats
 

Let me know what info or pics you need to determine more. I will try to get over there in next couple a weeks to take more pics & see if I can find a serial # plate now that I know where to look. I will also try to turn it over if it has a starter or crank it if I can find a crank. Like I said it looks like it has been run since it was repainted and apparently it's had some carb work as clean as that area looks. You've been a great help already.

and under the starter button, mine has been replaced
 
I finally got back & took a picture of the serial # plate. From the number on the plate (V 4630873 or maybe VC4630873) it looks like it is a 1942 model according to the number. One person was saying that the ones with a chrome strip were ones made before the war. It also looked like it had a "C" after the "V" which doesn't line up with what the spec sheets say the SN should start with. Is, perhaps the tractor a VC and just had a "V" emblem on the hood, or maybe someone put a SN plate off a VC and passed it off as a V to someone who didn't know. What are anybody's thought on this?
Also I tried starting it but the start turn over way to slow to start it like it was really grunting. Brand new 12 volt battery (tractor has alternator installed on it). Even jumped directly from the battery to the starter terminal bypassing the starter switch and cables to the starter, same results. Any Ideas? My little experience with tractors that have been converted from 6v to 12v, that starter spins like crazy....
