    870 Logansport

    That picture is me getting ready for an open house the next day in our brand new building. This tractor had just been freshly painted and had to be removed from the shop to create room for tables and chairs. The seat had not been installed yet, and I have a picture of one of the shop guys...

    President Eisenhower's Tractor

    Several years ago wife and I spent couple of days in and around famous Gettysburg battlefield, including former President Dwight Eisenhower retirement farm. As a teenager, I remember reading about his Angus cow/calf operation, a good fit for the hilly and rolling ground. The house was modest...

    VCMB 2 Btm Plow

    My rule of thumb to figure value of an old plow is to figure $100 per bottom and then add or subtract for excessive wear or presence of desirable features. Oddly, a small plow will often sell in the higher cost range while larger and newer plows (harder to haul, move and store) will bring...

    Don't know much about this tractor

    There are probably more SHIBAURA tractors around than you realize. I have a mid nineties FORD/NEW HOLLAND (both names appear on side panels) 1530 manufacured by SHIBAURA. This tractor is the first appearance of the well known Boomer series built for next 20 years. It is a well designed...

    M10 sickle mower

    Years back, I bought a junk CASE mower for 5 dollars having broken pitman bar. Matched up pieces (still had factory paint),measured and cut my own. Something didn't work out right, and I learned a valuable lesson about meaning of register.Made another aND that one worked, but promptly broke it...

    Excellent PROJECT, TAKING TWO NONRUNNING TRACTORS AND MAKING ONE GOOD ONE. If I were your neighbor, I would volunteer to paint your wheels.

    CASE 4994 at Penfield, Ill.

    My JUNE 2017 issue of FARM COLLECTOR magazine arrived yesterday and contained an ad for the Historic Farm Days tractor show at Penfield,Illinois. That reminded of last year's show where a CASE 4994 caught fire and was badly burned. Because that model is so unique, I'm interested in its status...

    I have owned a couple in the past. What happened to the company? Are they still building saws?

    Case SI PTO

    IF you buy this machine, you will jump from being a tractor owner to being a rare tractor collector. The 'S' series was built in a number of versions, each design made to serve a specific task. The much more common SC was useful doing a lot of routine farm jobs. Differing greatly, the SI is...

    the top ten tractors

    I watched the bogus list 3 times and can see no proof that it is real. No mention of who did the rankings or how inclusion on the list was determined. This show was probably put together by talented computer programers that never even heard of CASE. I would give a grade of D.

    Food question

    There is a big difference between apple juice and cider. The relationship between the two is the same as grape Juice is to wine. In both situations, the sugars that give a sweet taste are fermented and change into alcohol and have a "bite" taste. That is why people talk about "hard" cider...

    J I CASE Collectors Convention-Racine, Wisconsin

    I didn't get to attend but want to know what all happened. Would any of you CASE guys that went mind writing up a brief report-especially about the factory tour?

    730 and 830 question

    A few years back, I saw a cane loader attached to 560 Farmall on display at the IH museum at the Florida Flywheelers show. I have never seen on on a Case, but assume that the manufacturer built them for all major brands. The machine mounted on back required reverse operation similar to a...
