An interesting tractor (Case DI)

[CaseandMoline]

Some pictures of a tractor I haven't seen any recent pictures of, a 1945 Case DI narrow. I got this tractor about two years ago. It runs well but we have had a tire failure as you can see in the pictures. It is believed to be a military tractor. I thought some of you might be interested to see this tractor because as I said I haven't seen any close up and modern pictures of one of these.

Unusual is right, sure isn't for use in hill country, more like an orchard design.

The spring on the front end is for torsion. If the front end gets on an extreme angle it starts to load up and restrict movement. Even still it wouldn't be difficult to roll.
