You don't find these everyday

Guess, I will pull this from the swather before it goes to the crushed

 

[Mike Fitz]

Neat motor, is it still operable?

Mike, no it has been resting out in a fence line for years. But still one we have to try and save. Case didn't make to many of these

I didn't realize case made an air cooled engine. We had a hesston 260 and 280 swathers growing up with the air cooled v4 wisconsin engine. I never understood why manufacturers would put an air cooled engine on a machine that runs in the hottest time of summer. I think both met there demise from spun rod or crank bearings, swathers themselves were pretty good machines.

Have a Case air cooled engine here on a 77 model combine. Had it running several years ago.

I have one here, Dan. I also might have a few spare parts as I rebuilt it using 2 engines to make one! The weak spot was the bearing in the cooling fan. There was no way to replace it during routine maintenance and when the bearing seized while operating, the entire fan and housing self destructed. So once fan and shroud replacement parts were no longer available from Case, it usually meant a scrapped engine. I think it was designated a 125A.

Ande is that for a gov or just a throttle linkage pivot?

I wonder if the swather you have pictured is the same as the one my grandfather had in this picture? He was a case man, it is the only picture i have of the swather.

 

[gmccool]

I know where there is one of those for sale but the owner says it's stuck. I've been dragging my feet to buy it.

 

[Tgrasher]

Hard to believe that would cool the motor enough when it was working hard.

Joe, my assumption is it would be governor. Others will power in.

Looking at the great pic, it looks to be like a VH4D Wisconsin, but I could be wrong.

 

[Ande]

That looks to be air cooled, never have seen one.

That it is my friend, others can correct me but if memory proves me right it is a VC motor built to be air cooled by the Case Company

Bradley, very good information as it is a interesting engine. I wonder if the engine was on the first "A" combines? Nice to hear from you Bradley.

Steve, is the 77 still usable? I do love those combines. Nice to hear from you my friend.

I have often wondered that myself, a lot of the competition was using watercooled.

IIRC DC Tom Graverson had a VAC powered by one of these motors. I wonder what happened to it.

If I remember correctly, the crank, connecting rods and pistons are common with the 126 c.i. found in the 200b. I do have a parts book for it.

they worked fine,, there was several different cooling fan versions to fit all apps that was a "VA" Series block they used

 

[VACLee]

It is the governor. It uses the same gear assembly as the late VA series on through to the small 30 series. Just has a different follower assembly.
