These kind of questions usually start a color war out here, but not many folks shoot down the Case's. Case runs the full gamut from Steamers to current production. In 1892 a Case prototype gasoline tractor featured a Paterson "Balanced Gas Engine", one of the first practical gas tractor designs. From 1912 to 1916 Case experimented with engine design making some behemoths and finally the 12-25 and 10-20 which were smaller and started looking like 'tractors'. From 1916 to 1928 Case made the crossmotors which are one of the most prized tractors to collectors to this day. A true classic in every sense of the word. Getcha a least a couple of them. 1929 to 1940 brought the standard and row crop tractors L, C, and R series, very much in demand today. 1939 to 1955 was the Flambeau era with the D, S, LA,and VA series. These can be collectable and still do a days work. Then into the number series which has it's own strong following. Around here you see alot of green and red, but pockets of Case here and there. The old Case users are usually quite adamant and are loyal to their brand. Parts are still available clear back thru the L, C, and R's although some dealers seem to be more IH driven than Case, much to the Case customers dissatifaction. My grandad loved 'em and I wish I would have paid alot more attention to him when I was young. I've been lucky enough now to find a friend or two who still use the Flambeau's in their day to day operations. They are a tough well built tractor for the most part. You'll still find somebody cussing the "brakes on this one", or "that Waukesha was a dog", but most folks wouldn't trade their Case for a trailer full of the other brands. If you get one you'll see why they have such a loyal following...
