SC Case See's Daylight

[tomfg]

The SC Case drove out of the garage today after being "fixed up" since March. I still have the hood to work on, but have a honey-do list first.
I ran it for about 15 minutes, and decided I had the clutch adjusted too tight. When I took the side cover off to adjust the clutch, I was expecting the inside of the cover to be splashed with oil, being it has a wet clutch. I added one quart of oil in the clutch housing initially when I filled the crankcase. It looks like the oil level was just touching the ring gear.
Anyone know how high the oil level should be in the clutch housing?
Thanks to all who helped me with your input on getting the old Case running again!

Great job!! Must be an older one looking at the air cleaner to carb hookup. Will only be a small amount off oil as it will drain back to the pan.

It just circulates via the passage from the crankcase, not a lot of pressure. When working the tractor the clutch would most likely stir it more than engine pressure. It just keeps the friction plate "wet". Oil bath clutch was an older term applied to these tractors.

Very nice. I like your attention to detail. New rubber too!

It's a 1941, but not with the centerline hood.
It was my grandfather's tractor that I became the owner of back in 1977 when he passed away.
I wish I would have asked him about the history of the tractor.
Rear tires are not new...... one is about 10 years old, but only had a mile or so on it according the the previous owner. The other tire and wheel was off a John Deere, slightly weather checked, but at least I'm on the road again!

Lookin' GOOD. Tom......really good! You've got something to be proud of, particularly as it was your granddad's. Enjoy.

The clutch will fill it'self with oil when you start the engine.

Must be a late 41 to have that style of front and rear wheels.

The rear wheels and front nose / wheels are off a 43 parts tractor. I only had one of the early style rear wheels, so I used the 43 wheels.
I had switched the front nose out 30 years ago from the 43 parts, but didn't know they were different wheels on the front.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I didn't fix up the tin on it to show standards, as I plan on beating around the firewood trail with it, and maybe revive grandpa's old two bottom plow to tear up the field.

Ok since i have painted differant Case tractors i always want to know??? And i you care to share with us??? What brand of paint??? And it looks awesome!!!!! BILL
 

[tomfg]

Bill, for the most part, I used Napa / Martin Senoir brand of Urethane Enamel paint, but did use some rattle can enamel for some small parts, which appeared to match pretty close! Major parts have epoxy primer under the Flambeau.
I used Van Sickle tractor paint, "silver" on the rims.
