ANTIQUE TRACTOR - CASE MODEL L

Memories... Case Model L was our primary tractor on the farm until about 1952. It looked like this one (I think the rear steel wheels had a spacer added to increase the distance between inside/outside lugs). The steel ribs on the front wheels were worn much shorter than these. Yes, it was always hand cranked. Three speed transmission - no "road gear," 1 reverse. Hand clutch handle on the right side, with transmission driven belt pulley (8" flat belt) inside the right rear wheel. We mounted a pulley to drive a grain grinder, grinding feed for cows. It had a hard metal, dish-type seat. Nearly all operating of the tractor was done standing. No PTO, no hydraulics, no brakes. We built a canopy over driver station. It had no lights, so we built some. We mounted an generator over the belt pulley for power. Lights were mounted in the front (2), and rear (1). Turning on the lights meant mounting the belt. Obviously, when the tractor stopped, the pulley stopped and lights went out. But, they provided lighting for night time operational work. The magneto work at about 11:00 was common maintenance. We tore it down for ring/barrel/bearing work about every two years. I think it ran at about 1,350 rpm. Long stroke on the engine design meant good torque, 4 cylinders. I have two poor quality pictures of it working in the field, that is all. It was used for plowing, 3-16, at about 3 mph. We also pulled a 9" disk/harrow/roller, blacksmith harrow/roller. Do a Google search "Case Model L" and you will find some pics - some in steel wheels, others in rubber tires. Yes, I would like to see one in person. I drove it only a short time before it was replaced. When it was used for plowing, I was on Case Model DC for harrowing/rolling in breakdown. It was replaced by a Cockshutt 40, 6 cylinder Buda, live PTO, hydraulics, 6 speed F, 2 R, rubber tires (38").

What a perfect setting.....working on a Vintage Tractor in a Modern Barn.....The "Stories" that Tractor could talk about, the acres of God's Backyard it has driven on, the people who have owned AND sat on and Steered the Wheels of this Case Model L could fill a book!! Know you are getting excited for Farmer 2 Farmer and meeting and greeting all your fellow Cohorts who Rule The Fields for a Living! Love The Channel....Love The Videos....Love Hanging Out With You All....Cheers From Ohio

NICE TO SEE YOUR DAD WORKING ON THE OLD TRACTOR THANKS TARA

[@billconch3514]

That's a good looking old Case tractor! A great video of y'all working together. Your chickens are in good hands with you.

[@gordbaker896]

You are a charming person to watch. Your Dad is a man of few words! Thanks for not having music.

[@zimzim2160]

Cool old case. You and your dad work well together it seems

[@davidj.mackinney6568]

Tell your dad I am impressed with how organized his tools are.

[@brianelifritz4806]

It's so nice to see you caring so much for your sick girl. Animals are family

[@martinwilson6073]

Loved the Case, you can always tell a real antique tractor lover your dad knows the right way to hold the crank and crank the tractor

[@gordbaker896]

That is not the correct way. Grip from outside, thumb on same side as back of hand.

[@martinwilson6073]

@@gordbaker896 It looked like he was holding it that way, but you're right the thumb goes on the same side as the fingers

[@eddiegoss344]

U and your dad working together is a blessing to see it really is a blessing to me God bless u both

[@mikaraurala1358]

So cool to have a chance to tinker w. old equipment! Thank you for sharing and have a nice day!

[@robertoswalt319]

One thing I wanted to mention for your younger viewers that my grandfather taught me. When pulling an engine over to start it, never grab the handle with your thumb on the other side from your fingers. When it kicks back you may get your thumb broken. Great video and good luck with that majestic tractor.

[@933brian]

i have a case model d 1950 i believe nice old chevy ,picked up a 65 nova from baker calif a few years ago couldnt believe how rust free it was

[@sodbuster518able]

Aw man i love that ole chevy pickup in your shop.50,s 60,s and 70,s all my favorite generation of chevy trucks.

[@troyroe6021]

Very very cool tractor 🚜

[@hartleyhomesteadmichigan6041]

I like the tractor. I restored my dad’s 1949 Ford 9n after he passed away.

[@bighorn66]

That tractor is way to cool !!

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

It surely has sticky valves, which can be coaxed free with WD40 or similar. On the ignition, in addition to setting the points, if you clean up all the wires and their connections with emery paper - to get maximum voltage and reduce resistance. You will then get a fatter spark and the tractor will start on first kick......even on cold nights.

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

NICE L!!!! Thanks for the video Tara!!! Good to see you trying to learn from your dad!😁

[@alansheen5191]

That's what I like about snow days here in Idaho I get to catch up on all my favorite KZbin channel's Great job

[@colmortimer1066]

That's a really cool tractor, and great to see your dad warming up to the camera a little. I did think the second you started filming the dog it was going to start right up, so we'd miss it. Also hope your chicken bounces back, it can be rough caring for animals when your not sure what is wrong, and what might help, but it seems like your doing what you can.

[@trucker85d47]

Love the video of you and your dad working together reminds me of me and my dad working together on cars and truck and tractor growing up as a kid I learned so much from him he been past away 25 year ago miss him dearly so enjoy the time you spend with him you will learn so much 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👋

[@tonyburelle6633]

Great old tractor, you can learn a lot working on them, learn the basics, thought it was going to fire, your chickens look good, thanks for another great video

[@danw1955]

On the valve clearances.. a good rule of thumb for older Case tractors (until they've been run for a while) is .020" intake and .020" exhaust. Take some WD-40 or your favorite rusty-bolt-lubricant and spray it around all the valve stems and tap each valve (rocker arm on the valve side) with a plastic hammer to make sure they're all working freely before you try to adjust the valves. This will ensure the valves are closing completely. If they stick open when you tap them, you may need to soak the valve stems again and wait a day or 2 before you try again with the plastic hammer. Here's the specs for the L series engines: www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/4/5/450-ji-case-l-engine.html The LA has the same engine and you can get valve clearances and other pertinent info here: www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/4/5/451-ji-case-la-engine.html Hope this helps!😁 Also, the magnetos on these are pretty finicky, so the points inside need to be spotless and gapped correctly, and maybe replace the condenser while you're in there, just to be safe. *EDIT:* I noticed your Dad actually *did* adjust the valves, so he may need to back them off again to check if they're closing properly!😉

[@elidepuydt2304]

very nice, looks like a 1929 judging by the carb/manifold and fan belt.

[@theyarddogs4100]

That is a sweet old tractor nice video. Carl

[@duggy788]

my father use to keep the tractor mags in the house near the stove in winter time, keeps them nice and dry for morning starts .

[@2009deerejohn]

Very cool:) I was 7 when my dad let me drive his 1941 Farmall Super A, I think I already had the tractor/equipment sickness already but that really set it off:)

Case Model L and also the LA were great tractors, We had three of them until we upgraded.

[@gabevieira8732]

I still have an original Magneto and Carb off of a model L. I had two of them for years.

[@craigtate5930]

Awesome old machine

[@huntingandstuff9489]

Ah ha. I recognize you from a meredith bernard video. Just came across a video of yours. Nice old tractor

[@PastPreserver]

Nice L I just got one a few months ago they are cool tractors. Mine just needed the points cleaned and it fired up. It looks like sticky valves its sure letting alot of unburnt fuel through.

[@robhakeman5873]

Great idea of putting the plywood down to catch any oil leaks. Your dad isn't afraid of tackling any projects, I like that plus he isn't gun shy anymore with the camera. Dr. Tara the chicken lady. I like that white Coop, I want to get my wife one of those white Chicken Coops as when we lived on the farm we had chickens, ducks, and geese but we can't have chickens, ducks or geese in town as they have a ordinance of no fowl even if there contained even a double fence around the Coop and a fence over the top. The chickens that are sick have you tried chicken noodle soup lol. Love your videos Tara, what company will your grapes go to and what wine will they be in ?

[@446ramm]

The bad thing is the tractor didn’t start the good thing is your dad got a lot of exercise! Just keep chasing the three essentials fuel,air,spark! Sometimes when I have something that’s been sitting for a really long time I will pull the spark plugs and spray carb cleaner or Little start fluid and each spark plug hole and that will tell me if it tries to start that the mag works. Almost always win a gasoline engine has been sitting for A while the carburetor will have problems because fuel will varnish (basically go bad). But anyway it looks like the wants to run because it popped a couple times it’s just a matter of time! Just show it when it’s running in another video! And that CASE Will be closed .😊 good video wine and cheese for you tonight !

[@defuse56]

I just found you today and subscribed after watching for awhile. I follow several farming channels, and I must say yours is unique. I've been a collector of antique farm equipment at various times in my life. The Case is cool! Is your Dad also into vintage equipment, or is he just messing with this one tractor for fun? Adjusting the valves on old engines is almost always guesswork, even when you have a manual! Anyway, thanks for providing a farm channel unlike any other!~

[@markdoherty3718]

Nothing wrong with being a crazy chicken lady, there are far worse things to be. Love the old Case.

[@brucewelty7684]

Either a paper gasket or a cork one sealed with Permatex! That stuff is a PITA to get loose.

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

I had a 1949 Case SC that my Grandpa bought brand new. I sold it last March to a friend. It still has the original rear tires on it and they have about 60% of their tread left. I would take that to mean that it doesn't have a lot of hours on it. I will post a video of him with it this spring.

I’m not sure about Case’s but we have a lot of old caterpillars since they were founded in California

[@jeremyswindell7460]

They probably used a sealer because the tractor is so old they couldn’t get a valve cover gasket.
