I spent hours on the seat of a Farmall H with a A6 behind from the time I was 10 or11. Always swathed our oats so only used the pickup. It works perfectly, feeds evenly when you go into the swath head’s first. Dad started with a high tank in 1943, got the A6 in “54” ( both with the Wisconsin air cooled engine). In the mid 60s my brother and I bought a used pto 75 and had that till we went to all corn. Followed by a Case 960 and a Gleaner M self propelled 👨🏻🦳 🐄🐄 🚜 (a combine was my favorite farm machine to run)

Man did we come a long way in the last 80 or so years, i complain sometimes that my 7120 “only” Has a 315bu hopper and can only unload at 3.2bu/second… that hopper on that old girl would be unloaded in about 10 seconds with that 7120.

In the '50s we had two A6 combines. One had the Wisconsin V-4 air cooled engine, the other had a 4 cylinder Hercules water cooled engine. One was pulled with Case VAC, the other Case DC3. Both were out fitted with bagging stations - at that time nobody was able to handle bulk grain. We used them primarily for seed harvest. Both had spiketooth threshing cylinder. This combine looks like a slightly larger machine, but patterned after the A6.

@@eeengineer8851 we replaced the two A6s with a John Deere 55, maybe 56 or 57? The 45 came out the few years after the 55, as did the 95 and then later the 105. The 55 had about the same capacity as the two A6s. That was the time of transition from bagging to bulk grain management.

Who's the idiot on the combine? Either let it go or get off it . Quite stopping it every two ft. Another thing why didn't you put the unloading tube in? Once it's full you are not going to get it in there. Yes i do have this machine and i do have the next size up too. Looks like the main drive belt needs tightening if it stops from a small wad going into it.
@trackhoe232 ай бұрын
I'd like to someday do this. I've been thinking on a way for the draft control to work with top link sensing. So far my idea is a frame that goes on the tractor 3-point like a quick hitch, but it hangs below the lift arms and the plow hooks on down there so when it pulls harder, the top of the frame pushes on the top link. It would lose some lift height, though and I don't know how much it it would need to hang below the lift arms to get the proper amount of leverage to be in the range of force the draft control needs to work properly.
@benjaminfitz56262 ай бұрын
What you are talking about is a quick hitch frame. And in fact back in the day that is what they used to get draft control to work with semi mount plows. Get yourself a cat 1 or 2 (depending on your plow hitch) quick hitch and use it and your draft control should work just fine with the semi-mount plow.

I've noticed lately several people using a side by side to pull a rake. I guess they either want to be in the A/C or don't have a smaller tractor to use. Plus that would be easier since most tractors they have are 100+ hp which is crazy overkill just to pull a rake. Lol. Many times I'll have some locals ask if I want to rake with one of my antique Case tractors, and they'll buy the fuel. 👍

Hi. I got a little confused. When you we’re approaching your shed you put it in caseomstic. Then you said it was in 4 direct. I do find it a bit confusing. So u start in caseomstic. Can you run in that all the time? Only put in direct when you are just up to speed and going constant? Could you just drive in direct abd that would be the same as one without caseomstic ? Thank you
@benjaminfitz56264 ай бұрын
A better way to phrase it is torque converter versus direct drive. The Case-o-matic system starts out in torque converter drive (this is the same concept as the torque converter in a automatic car). There is a lever on the dash opposite the throttle lever that when flipped engages a clutch in the transmission and locks up the transmission so that it performs like a gear drive tractor. Meaning there is no slippage like the torque converter. Anytime you step on the "clutch" pedal and let it back out or flip the lever back it will default back to the torque converter. The COM tractors spent most of their lives in torque converter mode because it defaults back to it. Hopefully that helps. They are easy systems to run and STELLAR loader/barnyard chore tractors.
@benjaminfitz56264 ай бұрын
Also, my 600 was only ever in torque converter in the video as best I can tell. I was not building up enough hydraulic pressure on that worn tractor to get the clutch to lock up into direct drive.

Hello great video. From your videos Ive gotten educated a bit more on ji case plows. I'm curious to know where you get parts for your plows? I have a three bottom similar to the one in this video, particularly hub parts for the wheels.
@benjaminfitz56264 ай бұрын
A bit of internet sleuthing is required for some parts and a good machine shop/fabrication skills for others. I have not had to replace any hub components for my plows but would be the you would be best to find a parts donor unit and use it for what you need. Many of the wear parts can still be purchased. I have transitioned to using poly moldboard covers and so do not need to purchase moldboards anymore. I also have converted to using Kinze coulter assemblies and blades as Case coulter assemblies are no longer available and if they are are prohibitively expensive.

Sorry I hit the wrong key. The plow also had the small land wheel too. It was a great plow but was too heavy for the short 600B tractor. In the clay ground we had. I got very good at using the brake on the ends to bring the front of the tractor around so as not to run into the fence until the front end came down. The manuel stated that you could remove the rear cylinder bracket and reverse the brakes and bolt it together to delete the use of the cylinder. The plow had the old centennial B series long shears. The 300 series tractor had 134 cu inch engine and the VA series had the124 cu inch engine. The 300 series had the triple range transmission and the hand clutch for live pto. Oh! The picture of the 400 with the 4 bottom plow was a 411 model tractor. My uncle had a 401 model which was the diesel model. My dad had one VAC with add-on live hydraulic added, one 1950 VAC with eagle hitch, ne VAH, and the 611B. And my uncle had a 1950 VAC and the 401 case. When I got home from my Navy duty I had a centennial BH 3-14 plow. That was an easy pulling plow and did a great job Tom..

Best forward to 8.43. No conventional clutch, no torque converter either. Its an engine coupled directly to a 3 speed auto and thats coupled to a 4 speed manual. For a clutch it uses one of the 4 clutches in the auto section to engauge reverse (while disengauging the rest of the clutches) to disengauge the engine, but also reverses the internals to create a braking effect to slow the auto sections output shaft so you can select the manual box (range selector). Its got a torque limiting clutch, but thats a safety feature which normally isnt used.
