Every Case dealer had a steel Old Abe standing on the globe. I remember it being as tall as me, when I was 8 years old. They are very valuable! Case I believe had the best colors, of flambeau orange, and wheat. My Dad bought a new 930, in 1969. Powerful tractor! 5 bottom plow in 4th gear.3.5 mph. 4 gallons diesel/hour. All day long. Cost me my hearing. I loved it! Stayed home from school to plow.

The problem in my school program is that when the weather allows our class to go to the teachers farm to learn to calibrate a planter, some peoples in the class also to miss school to do the planting on their own farms

The Agri King series will always be my favorite tractors. Absolutely love their design

[@Jordannelson23]

Those and the 4wds made by case both were great designs

[@janjocham7720]

I was an Allis Chalmers employee and I also liked Case tractors. The merger with International Harvester made the look so much better. The new plant in Racine offers tours. I would like to take one. What a great J-L video.

[@Jordannelson23]

That was the shitist decision ever IH could have made it through the 80s if they would of focused on their core products

[@HamiltonFamily2023]

I love the grey era Case tractors, especially the crossmotors!

Great history lesson J and L. Thank you.

[@douglasmayherjr.5733]

What a great historic videos documenting the JI Case Company. It would have been nice to see all of the major companies make it through the 1980’s. It would have been great to see what Case and Allis Chalmers would be making today if they were still individual companies. Thanks for sharing the videos.

[@J-1410]

Tenneco was planning to dump Case(J.I Case, The First 150 Years, not the CHWendel book) due to it being unprofitable and basically just eating Tenneco money, so its future would be unknown.

80’s were a decade of shattered dreams for so many ag companies.

Fascinating history about Case. Thanks for the video.

Case was a great American company

It's a shame they only made passing reference to combines, rather than actually showing their development.

One of my brothers had an 800, it was a great machine! Except for the lousy brakes :)

[@budafarms]

I don’t know if they do but if caterpillar/challenger had a video like this I’d like to see that or a promotional film

[@trucktirebuster5622]

My favorite tractor is A1030 case

[@robertclemons911]

I was born and raised near the CASE plant in Racine, Wisconsin. Many of my family members worked at the CASE plant. When I got my first pair of eyeglasses in the 7th grade in 1970, I saw the CASE sign and realized what I was missing with poor eyesight....

Another well made film, but man, they needed a different singer for the ending song. What a caterwauling woman that was.

What a footage 👍 Never saw an Agri King with narrow front end. I guess they're one of a kind like the JD 4430 narrow frond end from Renner Stock Farm.

Today, this property in Racine, right on Lake Michigan, is just a large vacant tract of land. A pity.

Wish Case still made the crawler loaders.

Yet another shining example of how piss poor management can drive a long standing successful company into the ground in less than 10 years. Never knew the construction division was that large. Says a lot about how good those late 70s early 80s CK backhoes and uniloaders were the way they still hold their value. Still think the 580E and K series were some of the best backhoes ever built by any company.

[@Jordannelson23]

Why is it every time you say something about piss poor management about an equipment manufacturer I want to throw up.. Not all companies died from piss poor management

Was there a connection to the CASE PLOW COMPANY in Detroit, which was later acquired by MASSEY?

[@ronkennedy8676]

Not sure anyone answered you. In the early days Case operated under the JI Case Threshing Machine Company. My understanding is when they diversified into agrculture machinery, they created the JI Case Plough Works. Through this company they built another tractor ,the Wallace, which was the name of J I s son in law. Fir whatever reason,the Wallace, not sure about the rest of the Plough works was sold to Massey Harris. Early model Massey 25 in Australia, had a plaque on them The JI Case company wishes it to be known it is the manufacturer of the Wallace tractor

@@favorit926vario5 For more information on what Ron mentioned, the books "J. I. Case, The First 150 years" by J.I. Case and Tenneco and "150 Years of J. I. Case" by C.H. Wendell detail it a bit more. From what I recall, they did purchase a plow company, some controversy begins there as that plow company Case bought would have been the only nearby source of Deere's famous plow's steel saw blade(but even Deere doesn't know or wants to say where that saw blade came from), and they did expand, but on J. I. Case's death, the company was split between relatives, The J. I. Case Threshing Machine Company(TM) and The J. I. Case Plow Company(PC). They promptly got in a legal battle over the Case name, as the TM wanted to expand again, into plows and other implements, and the PC wanted to build threshing machines and tractors, mail was confused, as most knew "Case" as "Case", a general mess in summary. From what I recall the PC was sold to Massey before the lawsuit was settled, and TM bought the rights to the Case name from Massey shortly after as Massey didn't want to continue the lawsuit and didn't want the Case name. If I recall, Massey USA had a plant or headquarters in Detroit at that time. Of course, the name buy out wasn't instant and clean either through, as both had worldwide operations. Case then bought more companies afterwards too, such as another plow company. You've probably ran across the lawsuit "J.I.Case Plow Company vs J.I.Case Threshing Machine Company", if not, google gives a few summaries of it. After all of that, Case changed its name to "J. I. Case Company" and later under Tenneco "Case Corporation" . The histories of the big four, IH, AC, Case, and Deere, are about like a spiderweb that has been blown by the wind, they are a mess.
