You don't find these everyday

I wonder what that engine weighs

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

I was in contact with Toms daughter Lisa after he passed, I never seen any sign of his tractors, I did get his small steel wheel drill bought along with lots of his memorabilia,, I will try to remember to send her a message and ask about the air cooled VAC , I am still friends with her on fb

Don I heard back from Lisa she said Tom sold the VAC and a D to a fellow Case collector in 2011 3 months before he passed not sure if I should post the name here though,,

Thanks Tom,

I can't believe it's been 15 years since DC Tom passed on. Where does the time go?

What model of swather is that?

Think it was a 840

 

[Case Nutty 1660]

Think it was a 840

850 could be ordered with the Case air cooled Dan

Guess, I will pull this from the swather before it goes to the crushedView attachment 164981View attachment 164982View attachment 164983

That's a really cool find!

I would have thought it to be a Wisconsin AC4.

I have info on them yes,, but its buried in my mountains of Case,, it was a test Case did to see if they could gain market share in to the air cooled market, used on swathers one or two models of pull-type combines, were a couple apps, they made a move around cart for the engine so it could be used for other jobs,, meaning you pulled it off the swather or combine when not in use and used it for a power unit,, I think they were fine,, just not able to make sales like Case bean counters wanted , I will keep a eye out for some of my info on them to make a post with here some day

Tom,

An old CASE dealer told me that they had a problem with the cooling fins filling up with dirt/chaff and getting hot and scoring the cylinders.

Yes, I could understand that, I suppose on those that were not serviced regularly, and it worked hard too with the heat, I have never been around one, wondered how that cooling fan worked?

The one that I got the most useable parts off of was originally on an "88 Case tobacco harvester" (not 100% sure on that number). The 2nd one that I scrounged parts off was originally on a combine but saw later life on sprayer for insect control in livestock barns. It met its retirement date when the fan bearing seized.

Sure it says right in the ops to clean them daily in dirt conditions, and or Clean screens when dirty ,, I ran a number of different Wisconsin's piles of hours in Very dirty conditions on sweeper brooms and sanders all ran in a dust cloud never ever had a issue with dirt causing them to heat /do internal damage, also other brands but then I did blow them out every so often too, I could see them causing damage if they let the air get cut off,, thats just operator error to me as a old dealer and having done thousands of diagnostics when things failed ,, and I seen Plenty of mfg and consumer caused issues ,, a liquid cooled unit does the same thing if you plug the air flow off,,,

Operator error in action.
