    Case 445 with dual rear wheels

    The tires that are on the tractor now were filled with some kind of expandable foam and someone attempted to remove the tires and then gave up after messing up two of the rims (shame). I may have to use a chain saw to get the things off. LOL. Saw a couple of rims that appear to be the same on...

    Case 445 with dual rear wheels

    Thanks for the info, the goodyear tires on the tractor now are 8.3 X 24. Does the 8.3 reference how tall the tire is off the rim? I'll have to change up the studs and lug nuts because I can't tighten them up all the way with only one set of wheels on the back but that shouldn't be too big of a...

    Case 445 with dual rear wheels

    I bought a Case 430 LCK (445) with dual rear wheels and love the unusual set up for the novelty of it but when it comes to work I need a set of rear wheels with bar lug tires. Just wondering what some of you ol tractor guys would suggest as far as size of tire and width ect for general tractor...

    Case 445 Orchard Tractor

    Thanks for the production numbers, no wonder I was having trouble finding photos of 445's. I'll try and get mine registered and post some photos. Joe Young posted some photos of my tractor before I purchased it while it was still at the dealer. They are on one of his replies. Think I'll buy a...

    Brother in Africa

    Thanks guys, he is on his way home from Dallas, will see him tonight. Didn't realize how much I would miss my brother while he was gone. I'm very fortunate to have 3 older brothers that really looked out for me. Don't know where I'd be without them.

    Case 445 Orchard Tractor

    Thanks for the photo, I've been busy with work but breaking away and working on the 445 every chance I get. I've ordered a number of parts and have some of them installed. Sure is nice to see another photo, your tractor looks great. Should have mine put back together soon and I'm looking forward...

    Brother in Africa

    Those of you who are God fearing, my brother is in Africa drilling wells for those without fresh water. Water4.org is a foundation that goes to places that need water and hand drills water wells, drops a cheap PVC pump and teaches the locals how to do just that. Leaves the drilling rig and...

    Case 445 Orchard Tractor

    Thanks Joe, I've got to put some exhaust gaskets on the tailpipe and rebuild the P.S. cylinders, replace the seal underneath the steering wheel, adjust the lifters, install my new battery tray, new battery and I'll be ready for a test drive. I'll get everyone some good pics once I'm done...

    Case 445 Orchard Tractor

    Yes that's it. The orange paint has been touched up where fluids had been in contact with it but the industrial yellow I don't believe has ever been molested. I've taken the tin off and can't find any evidence of it being painted. (the tin that is) Some others have looked at it as well and...

    Case 445 Orchard Tractor

    I would love to talk to nd48. He has an advertisement for a Case 445 Orchard tractor and I just bought one. If you know how to get a hold of him let me know. I would like to buy such an advertisement if anyone else has one. Joe Young said the tractor had been painted but I believe the industrial...

    Case 445 Orchard Tractor

    P.S. I sure would like to see the original advertisement, I thought the tractor might be somewhat rare, but most of all it seemed to be in excellent condition. I have the tractor partly taken apart for minor repairs but will have it back together again soon and will post some photos. I'd be...

    Case 445 Orchard Tractor

    Thanks for the info, my tractor is the industrial yellow and I can't find any evidence of a repaint exccept on the orange part. This tractor was also a golf course tractor. Were the tires solid rubber as there is no valve stems. I did buy the tractor from the dealer in northern ILL.

    Case 445 Orchard Tractor

    Hello Case Fans, I bought a Case 445 Orchard tractor. Its just like my 430 with a few minor differences. It even has 430 decals and they appear to be the original decals and paint. Very unusual tires on rear, low profile duallys, yep duallys. A golf course had the tractor and took pretty good...

    Case 445 Orchard Tractor

    Appears to be a case 430 in every respect except for the wheel size and the actual serial number plate. I had a case 430 that is nearly identical to this one. I'll post some photos soon. Has diff. lock and a little pedal for throttle and shuttle ect.
