Nice pic. Your hearing this from a Case Man , but there is something iconic about the sound of a 2 banger out in a field working. Even if it is 4 cans short of a 6 pack. An Olie guy told me that . I would have rather been doing what you did today. PS if some idiot postes telling you your tractor looks like crap, or your doing it all wrong, he's just jealous.

What a piece of junk disc that is. I know because I have one. Yesterday I pulled the front frame out of it to weld two breaks back together. Got it welded and back in position and ran out of light. Hopefully tomorrow I can get it bolted back in. don't try to back it up without lifting it.

Well, its got one really nice wheel there on the back.
Wonder what "showcrop" would have done when none of them had wheels?

its only painted because it had junk tires on it when i got it so when we pulled the tires off we blasted and painted the rims so they would not puncture the tube. i know it looks funny but i dont care

The memories of the sound of a Dear John two banger running all night plowing . Used to go to uncles in Johnstown OH. He worked at North American but lived on farm. All around the farm was corn fields. They would start plowing and not stop until done. Sometimes all night. There were very few two bangers in WV mostly Ford, Case, Farmall & M/F.

"Live" hydrualics on a pre "45 A? Neat.

Good pic also.

The ones without wheels that I have used had what I remember as being much sturdier frames.

I argued a case in the Washington State Court of Appeals yesterday. Believe me, I would have traded places with almost ANYONE. There's nothing like 3 very smart people asking a lot of hard questions to really screw up your day.

Only saving grace was that our case was last, so all the really serious lawyers had finished and gone, so weren't there to witness the carnage.
