Case SC front wheels

[ClintMI]

I would like to know what type of front wheels were standard equipment on an early '41 SC. It has some tin wheels and someone told me they should be cast? Any info will be apreciated.

41 sc's should be steel not cast.

My 41 has cast wheels, but I'm not sure how early in 41 it was produced. Then again, I don't know if they're the original wheels.

Both my 41 and my 50 SC have 15 inch cast fronts. The standard tire was 5.00-15 but they look too small. The 50 has 5.90-15 Implement tires which look better, but are about as big as you can put on without rubbing.

There was a steel wheel part number O4055TS that used a 5.50x16 tire but if that steel wheel was used then I sure would want to have the 5364A weight bolted to it to keep the front end down

According to my Old Abes News feature article on the SC's the front wheels were changed from a stamping to a casting at serial # 4505420.If I had a 41 SC with a serial number anywhere near 4505420 with cast wheels I would consider it original as I the factory wasn't always on the money with changes.

Good to know. Now I have to go out to the shed and check my SN. Thats why I always check postings for more good info. Thanks

I have a set of cast iron front weights for an SC and would sell. I don't think they are hard to find.

cast front rims came out in mid to late 42

Thanks. Serial # is 4500499. This would mean it has the original front wheels then. With the rears being solid cast like the RC it's funny that they went with steel fronts. Thank you for the info.

I have to recant my prior statement....
"My 41 has cast wheels, but I'm not sure how early in 41 it was produced."

I forgot that I switched front ends 30
years ago! Looked at the old front end, and it indeed had steel wheels on it.
My serial number is 4508045.
Also, it has two different wheel hubs on it.
One with a bigger diameter hub cap, and the other was just like the 1943 front end that's on my SC now.

I would be interested in those. How do I contact?
