Tractor Info

I have a few old tractors sitting around the place, and my kid has taken interest in restoring a Case LA. Is there a similar resource to the JD one that can provide information about original delivery, what it was shipped with, buyer, etc?

The tractor is in decent shape, so I think this may go pretty good for the first one. Any info/advice would be appreciated, and hopefully I could help someone out in the future. I have a few old Farmall letter series as well that I would look into as well.

Yes, Build cards can be requested from the records office at Racine. I don't have the name and number on hand right now but someone here should. You could also do an archive search too.
Some records are NLA because of theft/fire/accountability issues throughout history.

Here are some blanks I made based off the one I got for my 300.

If he needs the case factory service manual for the LA, I will be happy to donate it to his project. Send me an email with your address and I will drop a nice new copy in the mail.
