    A Case memory

    That's really cool, I wish I could have been around back then. My first Case memory / tractor memory period was around the same age but in the mid 1990's. My dad dropped me off at my grandparents on his way to work and my grandfather let me get behind the wheel of his DC with the plow hooked up...

    Case DC-3 Serial number/year of Manufacture

    Thank you, she's been worked hard, but she's still pretty. Can anyone recommend a good owner/service manual reprint that has the distributor included? I found one on Ebay but only has magneto information for the ignition. Also any recommendations for a good Case history book? It wasn't until...

    Farmall M MPG?

    Hello everyone, I'm wondering how many miles would a 1947 M get on a full tank in 5th gear before she runs dry? my manual says its a 21 gallon tank and it does have a model 30 loader installed. Any thoughts? just curious. Thank you.

    can a badly cracked engine be repaired successfully

    I've heard of a small block chev having both ends of the crack drilled to prevent the crack from spreading then tapped for fine threaded plugs to close up the holes and JB welded in between. I was told it worked well. But I assume it was in the water jacket.

    Case DC-3 Serial number/year of Manufacture

    Thank you all for your knowledge and tips. I remember not cleaning by that screw head and I will do so tomorrow If I get time, and I will certainly post my findings and a picture of it if anyone would like. Just fired it up today for the first time in 5 or so years. She's the first tractor I...
