Is that a DC? My dad has an SC, and it doesn't quite match. The three point is totaly different, there is no hydro's. There is also no shock on the seat, and I don't think the air intake is quite that tall.LBEXJ said:I think my tractor is sexy ....

Yep ... a DC.scoobyxj said:
The hydraulic pump (I believe) is from an early 50's model Case and the 3-point is farmfabbed. I got this tractor from my Great Uncle several years ago, and this had been installed when I got it. AFAIK ... Everything else is original outside of new paint and decals.
It was a clean-up/restore project I did a couple years ago. I like antique tractors ... if I had the money, it'd be another hobby.

Thats what has been done to dads SC. He still uses it to power augers because of the hand cluch, and the throttle being low. Nice to not have to climb up on the tractor to start up an auger, and adjust the speed. He also has a Case 630, and a Farmall Super M with hydraulics, and power stearing.
On the Case SC there is a metal piece that goes between the air cleaner and the carb. His rusted out, and he was never able to locate a replacement. You wouldn't happen to know a good place to look for one would you? There is rubber hose on it now, but the gas fumes rott it out over time.

I have used mine in the woods to pull logs, also for mowing, and to maintain my driveway. I was a bit aggravated at myself when I got the exaust pipe into a limb and broke the exhaust manifold at the bend where the pipe attaches. Right now, it is sitting in the barn at my MoM's with the broken manifold, a bad tire, and the hydraulic pump in need of re-building. Too many irons to fire plus the Jeep habit have relegated it to a one-of-these-days project. The hand clutch is a definate plus ... except when trying to back up a trailer ... got contortion?

PS: Sorry about the hijack guys ...
The DC has a cast oil bath chamber that attaches to the carburator. The air tube attaches to it and runs up through the hood. There is a cap with a screen in it to catch the "big stuff". Is this what you are talking about? To be honest, I don't recall seeing an SC Case to have a picture of what is there. Not too many Case enthusiasts in the local club (which I am not a member). I can ask around though as I know some of the members. Do y'all have a local antique tractor club locally?scoobyxj said:

I know Mike ... too bad you or I cannot move the posts to another thread. Maybe Rev or Sean will take care of it (EDIT: Or notHaleyes said:

... and thanks!

That's what I'd like to ask the Redbird Management. Find out what they'd like done, or could use some help with, and do that.
EDIT: I have approached the Redbird management, letting them know we are willing/wanting to help. I'll post up with what I hear back from them.

Redbird is having a trail cleanup this weekend. I think alot of the atv clubs and IFWDA are going to go. All they want is some branches,downed trees and of course trash cleaned up. If anyone looked at my post about the 33" trxus muds for sale i mentioned that I am in jpfrog offroaders and we have adopted trail 1. They want us to try to haul in some gravel?rocks in there somewhere. There is no charge for this cleenup but I think i't only sat. 3/24. Just wanted to throw this out there for you. I was pres. of jpfrog and now I'm sittin on the fun side of the front table, so I'm going to try to get a little more involved in this forum. Don't know if I'll get the xj out much, I'ts my wifes DD for now. but i have enjoyed this site for some good ideas for a little lift ect. for her jeep, Mike
