howdy john, you being a case guy, id like to pick your brain a little. neighbor has a 300 case gasser that is the old ran when parked. tractor had been running hot and they quit using it a number of years ago. it has low slung exhaust. all there, decent tires, good sheet metal. he wants a couple hundred for it. any opinion on the 300? probably end up putting a brush hog or finnish mower if i get it up and running.

Excellent little tractors. Replaced the Vac. More hp than most small tractors. Parts are available for most things. No live power in any models I'm aware of tho.

I agree with Jon.
At that price, I would sure be interested if not so far away.

They have a hand clutch to stop ground travel while still providing pto power. Do some research on this forum it comes up about once a week.

I should have said the case forum.

Case 300 junkers were bringing $300 to %500 at the Woodstock VA Equipment auction a few weeks ago

I used to run a bush hog on my Case 430 with the hand clutch. Even when you shoved in the clutch, the rotation of the bush hog would keep the tractor going forward, unless you knocked it out of gear. This could create a very dangerous hazard in some situations. A over riding clutch on the bush hog would eliminate this danger. For the price you are being asked to pay, I would jump on this deal.

I know nothing about Case tractors but if I found a deal like that I too would jump on it. You can always part it out.

The Case "300" had a few variants. A true "300" would be a diesel utility. A 301, a diesel row crop. a 302,a diesel Hi Crop. The first gasser in the line up would be a 310 utility, a 311, a gas row crop and a 312 a gas hi crop. Info I've seen says they were available with live PTO but only with the triple range transmission. One thing for sure, if it has a hand clutch and a foot clutch it has the Case version of live PTO which operates pretty much the same as Allis Chalmers WD/WD45s. If no hand clutch then you have a conventional transmission driven PTO. It looks to be a substantial little tractor and will pull a good bit of weight if a lot of iron and tire fluid is added. Nebraska Tractor Test # 613 shows it coming on the scales bare at about 3500 lbs but in the max pull test it was weighted up to about 6000 lbs.

One of the handiest tractors Case made. If you get it, it's best to take off the sides and hood to access problems. It's possible to take it all off in one piece with the help of another person.

glennster · Jul 9, 2020

casecollectorsc · Jul 9, 2020

Gonna steer tough with the steering shaft dis-connected.

jon f mn · Jul 9, 2020

I kinda doubt red paint would be enough for that one. Lol

Be more optimistic! We have some boys on this forum that could have that little baby running by suppertime! (;>))
