    vac plow

    Without seeing a picture, it is difficult to identify your plow. I am guessing it is probably a VCMB plow meant for the pre- eagle hitch VAC's. They used a high pressure hydraulic system with the pump driven by the belt pulley shaft, and a single acting cylinder mounted on the left side of the...

    Case VAC, Need Some Help

    The front pedestal you have began at #5261528, the PTO shifter you have ended at #5450500, and your hydraulic cylinder ended at either #5270721 or #5370000. The difference is the earlier cutoff # had 20 TPI on the cap and cylinder and the later cutoff # had 12 TPI. That would make yours a '48...

    Case VAC, Need Some Help

    Just the opposite. The pump is engaged when the bolt is OUT about 1.5" to 1.75" and locked down with the locknut.

    I meant to say "flips to the right", not left!

    Case VAC, Need Some Help

    Check the front pedestal between the wheels for a large nut on the bottom of the vertical shaft. If no nut, it is '48 or older. Also check the PTO shifter for a long flat bar that sits horizontal when disengaged and flips to the left past vertical when engaged. If that is what you have, the...

    Case VAC, Need Some Help

    My '48 has the two piece manifold, and it is factory original.

    Case VAC, Need Some Help

    The bolt on the back side of the belt pulley housing sitting at about a 45 degree angle is a lockout for the pump. It appears that it is in the lockout position from your pics, and needs to be backed out to allow the pump to operate. If the reservoir was empty, it had probably been locked out to...

    Case VAC, Need Some Help

    your VAC is a '49 or earlier, as the eagle hitch came out in mid '49. According to my '48 manual, the torque tube should have 90wt gear oil, and the hydraulic pump reservoir should have 10wt non detergent motor oil in it.

    New toy....errr, tool (pics)

    You are correct. The belts are intended to slip if the bar gets locked up instead of the wooden pitman arm breaking. incidentally, one of the advantages to a sickle mower is that when mowing weeds it cuts off the stalks and gently lays it down without spreading the seeds as a rotary mower tends...

    New toy....errr, tool (pics)

    I think that is made by the Detroit Harvester Co. I have one almost identical to yours for my Case VAC. There is no under axle bracket for the left side. the right bracket is for the break-away connection that allows the bar to swing back if it hits an obstruction. It is a good mower, and bar...

    Carb Dripping from Drain

    Check your air cleaner (look up inside it, not just the cup) to make sure it is not partially plugged with dirt. If it is not clear, it is the same as running with the choke on.

    What used to be on this tag? (pics)

    My '49 has that plate also. It is a list of patent numbers used on the tractor. Google "ford 8n patent plate" to see a picture.

    location of #1 cylinder

    Check to make sure the air cleaner and muffler are not clogged with some kind of critter nests. As long as it sat there is no telling what could be in there.

    1949 Case VA Belt Pulley

    There is a lockout bolt on the back of the pump reservoir that points up at an angle toward the brake pedals that is used to prevent the pump from running when not needed. You might try backing it out and see if the lift works. The factory manual calls for 10W non detergent motor oil in the...

    1953 Case VAC Engine issue

    My '48 did the same thing several years ago, and it turned out to be a broken timing gear. The hub broke away from the outside part of the cam gear with no other damage to anything else. I removed both pieces and brazed the hub back in. It is still holding.
