Got a phone call Saturday...friend told me he saw an old tractor about 20 miles away...he wanted me to go look at it. It looked a little like my old Case...so he said. Ok...jumped in the truck and drove over. It was a Case L like or something like what I got from dad years ago. The real difference is it has cast rear wheel centers and tires. My old Case has spoke wheels and tires. Grandad put rims and tires on it long before I was born. My friend backed out, but I ask him what he wanted for it. He said 500. I figured it was better than letting it go to scrap so I bought it. Went to get the trailer and when I got back it was in the barn lot running...no, purring like a kitten. The old man had given a "little choke" or so he said and gave it a crank. It popped right off. Brought it home and it started fine and I backed it off the trailer. Started right up again. My question is...when did they go to cast wheels on the L ? The data plate is gone...or under a mess of grease. Anyone have any ideas as to the year or how I can tell? Darn thing runs better than the one I had...that's for sure. Thanks in advance....

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
