Dealership Case Tool Box

[lynnz]

Has anyone seen a tool box like this one? My Grandpa owned a Case Dealership and 29 Case Model L, which I believe this may have been used on.

That is a L and C dealers service tool set. The service manuals show the tool set and how to use the tools in the set. With it you should be able to fix anything on the tractor in the field. I have a complete set that has never been used.

How did you acquire your set and do you own the box as well?
If so is your box in better shape? You say you have the complete tool set, am I missing a lot? I have been told it is mostly a sleeve puller to separate the engine from the rear end to make repairs, just as you said. I am interested in the value, not for the reason to sell, but I do not want to devalue it if it is worth a considerable amount. Would love any info, thanks for responding.

Mine is a complete set in the box. My box is comparable to yours. My tool set has never been used. The guy that I bought it from got it from a family member that worked for Case. He did not know what it was either, and I helped him figure it out. Several years later when he was ready to part with it he was nice enough to let me know he was listing it on e-bay. I paid $500+ for it 10 years ago. The completeness and condition of the tools determines the value. I also have a 2nd incomplete set. Incomplete sets are not hard to find. The chances of finding a complete set is slim to none. You could probably buy every set you could find and never make a complete set in a lifetime. I would value most incomplete sets under $200. I am sure I could sell my unused set for well into 4 figures. There is an open invitation for any of you guys to see it if you make the trip to Eastern SD. DK

Thanks so much for your feedback. I showed it to the local tractor club here in Montana and they had never seen one before, even the ole' auctioneer. I had no idea if it was one of a kind or if it was worth $50 or $1000's. It was a bit mousey so I cleaned it well and have it in my antique bedroom. Initially I considered painting the outside but have decided to leave as is. I wanted to put all the info I knew in the box for the next heir. There's not very many of you that recognize the old classics. Thanks a bunch.

I have owned one for about 20 years. My set is not complete. I value it at about a hundred. Neat to have, tho wish my set was complete.Keep yours together and good luck in finding any missing parts. Bill
