case tractor oil

[Jimmie D. Phelps]

Someone asked what oil do we use! I now use Case oil most 15Wx40. I sometime use straight 30 in my 930 and 2390 but sometime 15Wx40. I have used Amaco, Shell Rottala, but years ago 1929-to about 1985 we used ,as it was first called En-Arc-Co..(Clevland Oil Co, Clevland , OH -White Rose products. the sign they used was a boy holding a sign--) Than changed to En-O-Co, of Omaha NE. My Uncle (the one pictured with case dealers 1940) was the dealer , than my dad for years and than my uncles son. His son had the dealership for the oil until they closed out in about 85-90. GREAT OIL AND GREASE. the sign is of the en-o-co I took this picture at Cracker Barrel at Loveland CO.

Glad you posted the dealer pic again. The young fella in the top row above and to the left a bit from your uncle is my dad. My Grandfather is the guy peaking over the 10gal hat brim. I tried quizing him down a bit, but near 91, he doesn't remember details from back then.

they don't look too happy, maybe just got the news that case still doesn't have a replacement for the dc!

John, from what my dad recalls it was the Main Works in Racine.

Hay Doug,
As near as I can determin the pic. was taken in 1940-41. Post depression, Pre War. The thing that I find most interesting is that most pics. of that era show most every man wearing suits and ties and fidora hats, wether they are in a gathering like this or picured operating a tractor.I guess you and I are in the blue jean, Tee shirt and baseball cap generation. Too old to walk around in baggy pants with our underware showing, butt crack exposed, and hat on sideways.

probably true but I am glad I can wear black denim pants to church, much warmer than those polyester dress pants I had to wear as a kid! Case was on the edge of greatness in the first 1/2 of the 20th century but their conservitism, strikes ect. really hurt them, the sideways hat thing annoys me, if they want to be black then smear some coal dust on their faces!
