case 159va

[Robert Householder]

I have a chance to buy a case tractor nice unit front loader box scraper. The man thinks the motor is a 159va mid 60s he is not really sure. The head is cracked is there head out there any where. I am good at wrenching but no nothing about this tractor.
Thanks

Robert, I don't know what a 159va is, but the VA's were discontinued in the 40's and the VAC's were discontinued in the mid-fifties. Post a picture of it on the "tractor photos" page on the left sidebar of the page, then let us know when you do.

I put a photo up on tractor photos under mid 60s?
Hopefully you can help.

Thank You
Robert

Looks like some kinda Ford or Massey Ferguson to me but a closer up would help.

mel's right, a closer look would help, but my initial thought is a 310b. I have a '58 model, and the loader frame is like that one. Could be a 430 Construction King. Are the rear rims 6 or 8 lug? Looks like 8 in the picture..I'm thinkin' 430, now....is there no tag on the side of the dash?

if it has a 159 in it it is a 530CK these were made 1960 to 1965 they updated this to a 580 in 66 and had a 188 gas or DSL as far as a head should be no trouble in finding one as the 530 farm tractor had the same motor as well as some of the 955 windrowers had the 159 as well as 1150 and 1155 windrowers also had the option of this motor there should be a tag on the valve cover that will tell you what model engine it has
