Well unfortunantly that is a fair jag out of my way. Im sorry but I will have to pass. At least for right now. However if you happen to have your camera with you when your around it maybe you could take a few pictures? I might be in the neighborhood in the future. You can contact me by email at connor1306@gmail.com Thank you. [Reply]  [No Email]

Even if I cant put it in a VAC it is still an odd engine I would like to try and restore. What is the overall condition of it? Where are you located? I am in Southern Missouri. [Reply]  [No Email]

Loren Simmons used to show one before he passed. Don't know where that tractor went. Some of his went overseas. [Reply]  [No Email]

Not to mention I dont think the A125 can support the VACs hydraulic pump. Oh well, great pictures anyways and Ive learned alot about this engine. Thanks to all! [Reply]  [No Email]

I know a fellow who had a business custom spraying cattle for warble worms, who used those engines on the high pressure sprayer well into the 90's........he went through at least 7 of them. he would run them until the fan failed and then just find another one in the bone yard to replace it with.

It looks to be several inches taller and a little wider. [Reply]  [No Email]

As I stated before, the pistons, bearings and I think crank are the same as the 126 in the 200B. Of course, the block and head are different, the head being finned to direct the air.

The bottom end is the same as the 126 c.i. engine found in the 200B series. I have one in running condition from a "66" tobacco harvester.I will try to get a picture of it today and post it for you. I also have the parts book for the A125. Their weak spot was the bearing on the axial fan, that was not replaceable. If or when it failed, the engine would totally destroy the fan and shroud. 25 years ago, I could find quite a few that were on swathers, balers and combines. It has been quite a while since I have run across one. [Reply]  [No Email]

I never actually seen the machine, however somewhere here in my collection I do have a press article and a photo of the machine away back some time in the late 1950's. It was powered with the "CASE" 124 cubic inch, "A125" 4 cylinder air cooled engine, this was basically the same engine as the "VA" tractors had only it was air-cooled. That engine was also used as an option on the "CASE" model "77" towed combine from the late 1950's. Hope that you find this rambling of interest. Regards Alan T.

The harvester was bought new by a Mr. Alf Arner, a tobacco farmer who also owned the Case dealership at Essex, Ontario. Unfortunately, he was stricken with either Lou Gehrig's Disease or M.S. shortly thereafter. The dealership became a company store and the farms were rented out. It took him about 20 years for the disease to kill him.His equipment at the farm sat all that time. Another tobacco farmer then bought the machine,added a tank, spray boom and pump and used it as high clearance sprayer for 10 or 12 years. it then sat likely another decade or so outside before being scrapped. Yes, it was an oddball. Being 3 wheeled, it was pretty tippy w/ the spray tank mounted on top. Ground speed was controlled by a manually controlled variable speed pulley. It would be interesting to know how many (or few) of those harvesters Case built. I would hazard a guess that that was the only 1 sold in Canada.Perhaps guys from the Carolinas or Virginia would know of others. [Reply]  [No Email]
