    801b Gauge cluster progress

    That should read "at one Case factory...a second Case factory". I believe the SW gauges were all installed Rockford plant and the other vendor (name ?) at Racine plant. Rodd

    801b Gauge cluster progress

    I read previously that brown was a Stewart-Warner gauge cluster at a second Case factory and black was done by another vendor at a second Case factory. Maybe that doesn't apply to all tractor models? Both of my 800's are diesel and have brown gauge clusters. Both have "Stewart-Warner Corp"...

    801b Gauge cluster progress

    So I've mocked up the gauge cluster with my clean up and first paint touch up. I've verified all the gauges work, and all the needles are painted, but I have more painting to do on the main face-plate to match the brown. I don't have replacement stencils so I'm just going to touch up the...

    Random Photo

    Rod, I love the pic! Speaking of kids & tractors, here's my oldest on the single-front/long-axle Case 800 just a few weeks ago on a nice winter day in South Dakota. Pretty hard to beat a picture of a kid (no matter the age) and a vintage Case :). I guess we'll all kids at heart. Rodd

    801b Gauge cluster progress

    I took one of the destroyed round gauges apart yesterday as a test...boy what a chore. I probably don't have all the right tools (?) but it did come apart. Not sure it's worth the time and effort! I'm likely going to re-use the round gauges as is. They are in OK condition and I'll replace...

    801b Gauge cluster progress

    Well, I have things disassembled on both my 800 series tractors. I guess the goal is to (initially) get one good working cluster from two. I've started cleaning with toothbrushes (oh joy) and testing the gauges to see what works and doesn't. I'll have to see what I can replace with new vs...

    801-b Drawbar Roller

    All, Working on the rear-end of the '59 801-b and I have question about this roller unit (not sure of the actual name). As you can see it's flat-spotted quite bad. Can a guy: 1. buy a new replacement part # from Case? 2. re-purpose some other part to take it's place? 3. rebuild it by...

    Models I just purchased

    casered, Those two models are pretty awesome looking. There's a lot of detail in each model. While I don't own anything similar, I really like your idea...own the real thing and the scale model. I'll be on the look-out for a 800 series model now. Congratulations on your find! Rodd

    Hey old friends here is a old friend of mine

    Ande, Great pics and story! It's pretty awesome to see a tractor of that age still putting in a solid days work. I would agree with casecollectorsc; it wasn't too long ago that I was farming with my Dad in NW Iowa and pulling a 20' chisel with a Ford TW-35 II FWA and it would even pull it...

    Case 800 --What is it worth

    Jim, I'm relatively new to this forum, but I'm not a /spring chicken/ so take that for what it's worth. However, one thing that not's mentioned is nostalgic value. I believe the recommendations thus far are quite close to what I would pay. However, I could add more $$ for /sentimental/...

    800 - Gauge liquid filled lines

    Thanks everyone for the information, that will definitely help me get started. Making these lines doesn't sound like it's too challenging. I also need to replace the Converter Temperature and Fuel Pressure gauges, but I assume there are plenty of resources on this forum to source...

    800 - Gauge liquid filled lines

    All, I'm beginning work on my gauge cluster for the 801b. While I disassemble the SW cluster and work on refurbishing it, I'm curious what the best resource to acquire, build, re-build the old fluid filled lines such as fuel pressure, COM pressure, oil pressure, etc. I'm not sure if these...

    800 Diesels

    Thanks John, I'm going to look into that as a permanent solution and try to abandon starting fluid altogether. Rodd

    801b Axle tubes - success & next task!

    Kevin, I did remove the axles completely, and while I didn't have a hone, I did the best I could removing any rust "slag" on the inside and outside. I fully lubed the axles and started inserting, as I did so, I "spun" the entire axle/wheel around as I slowly worked them forward to be fully...
