You don't find these everyday

I wonder what that engine weighs

IIRC DC Tom Graverson had a VAC powered by one of these motors. I wonder what happened to it.

I was in contact with Toms daughter Lisa after he passed, I never seen any sign of his tractors, I did get his small steel wheel drill bought along with lots of his memorabilia,, I will try to remember to send her a message and ask about the air cooled VAC , I am still friends with her on fb

Don I heard back from Lisa she said Tom sold the VAC and a D to a fellow Case collector in 2011 3 months before he passed not sure if I should post the name here though,,

Thanks Tom,

I can't believe it's been 15 years since DC Tom passed on. Where does the time go?

Think it was a 840

Think it was a 840

850 could be ordered with the Case air cooled Dan

Guess, I will pull this from the swather before it goes to the crushedView attachment 164981View attachment 164982View attachment 164983

That's a really cool find!

I would have thought it to be a Wisconsin AC4.

I have info on them yes,, but its buried in my mountains of Case,, it was a test Case did to see if they could gain market share in to the air cooled market, used on swathers one or two models of pull-type combines, were a couple apps, they made a move around cart for the engine so it could be used for other jobs,, meaning you pulled it off the swather or combine when not in use and used it for a power unit,, I think they were fine,, just not able to make sales like Case bean counters wanted , I will keep a eye out for some of my info on them to make a post with here some day

Tom,

An old CASE dealer told me that they had a problem with the cooling fins filling up with dirt/chaff and getting hot and scoring the cylinders.

Yes, I could understand that, I suppose on those that were not serviced regularly, and it worked hard too with the heat, I have never been around one, wondered how that cooling fan worked?
