Hello guys I had a family member give me a Case tractor. He believed it was a 1956 the first year of the frontend loader. Wondering if any of you all could give me any info it.

It looks like a 400 but there are a few things a little different. There should be a model/serial metal plate on the console and that will determine what it is. Take a picture of it and a picture of the side of the motor if you are able to.

That looks to be way older than a 400. early 50s or before.

That is a late model D or DI, so I think those fenders came in 51, so 51-54 model. But ask down on the case forum for better answers. And pics of the rear and platform will help narrow it down.

The serial number plate is on the dash by the steering column, look close as sometimes a rivet gets in the first number

Sorry, I missed a few things. That is the smaller SI, not DI. If the seat is original it's a 53-54 model. Those fenders make it 51 or newer.

It is a SI. Ribbed fenders started in 1950.

The loader looks to be a Lull industrial loader. My dad ran a Minnie Mo RTI with the same loader. Easy to tell the Lull loader with the vertical lift cylinders, long curl cylinders and the control levers that are long and curve toward each other at the handle end.
