TimBinWV 10-01-2012 15:38:18 24.112.195.84 Report to Moderator	Just put some money down on a non-running and not stuck 446. Bad front tires, new rears with chains. Comes with a plow, tiller, cultivator, front weights and, believe it or not, log splitter. There's 2 old rear-tine tillers, 2 front tine tillers, another riding mower, 3 push mowers and a couple of weedeaters, to boot. Only thing that it doesn't have is a mower deck. I've already commited to buy it all for $600. Sheet metal looks good, but the seat will need recovered. Has the onan engine, not sure of the HP, but it's a one owner machine, and has never had a mowing deck on it. [Reply]   [No Email]

I have a tired "446" that I use around the farm for rough mowing,I just keep adding oil,and she keeps running. Send some pictures if you can [Reply]  [No Email]

I replaced all the fuel lines and have had no problems since. Bookmark www.onanparts.com. You'll love the tractor.... Brad [Reply]  [No Email]

I have three Case GT's. One is a 1979 446. If you want a deck, they are around. There are a couple forums dedicated to Case Garden tractors. One is a YT Group. Other is an 'Independent'. http://www.casecoltingersoll.com/ Good Luck. [Reply]  [No Email]

The fact that it splits in both directions means it will really go through the wood, but it took 4 guys, two on each side to work it to its potential. It was very impressive. [Reply]  [No Email]

The splitter helped me make up my mind...I have about 4 16' car trailer loads piled up right now, and the wife broke the handle outta my splitting maul last year...(LOL) [Reply]  [No Email]

Hope it's something in the fuel or fire. The owner died a couple of years ago, but it had quit running prior to that. Cool log splitter, tho. It's got a double-ended knife that will split both directions. Never seen anything like it. BTW, the plow and cultivator have "Brinly" on them. Were they affiliated with Case? [Reply]  [No Email]

If it doesn't run, start there. Sounds like a deal to me. Loren PS I have two good snowsasters and two maybe fixable ??? 48" mower decks. [Reply]  [No Email]
