Rusty but running

Cannot remember brand, Case maybe, with easy access
battery.

It is a DC Case, a 3 plow puller under most conditions. The heel operated pedal tripped the up or down of the cultivators. Leo

That's where the battery was on my Case LA

That battery is in a good spot for going around and jump starting modern tractors that have their batteries run down by parasitic drains.

Interesting on that pedal. I have a 1950, and has the hydraulic arms on the back which I assume was for cultivators, but positive it doesn't have the pedal. Gonna have to check in the daylight to see if it had one and was removed? Or didn't they all have it? You have me curious now.

Early tractors used the mechanical PTO drive power lift, before hydraulic pumps were used.

Thanks. Learn something new every day. Might not retain it though. I do see the one pictured has a different throttle lever than mine too.

yes case dc3 , 3 is for narrow front. yes battery goes there but it should be a 6 volt battery. them things start so easy also with 6 volt and a magneto. on the LA the 6 volt battery is beside the left fender. those also start easy with 6 volt on that big engine.

And like most, it is missing the battery cover. The one for my DC is gone too, but I do have one on my D

Yep, all of mine have been returned to 6 volt. They don't need to crank fast, just break overcenter of compression stroke and they start. At least mine do,
