RARE 1972 Case 442 Black Knight Demonstrator & 1966 2712 Colt Tractor

[@kenthawkins2418]

Always admired Case garden tractors, and It's ALWAYS nice to hear someone else who appreciates the smaller vintage garden tractors...they're NOT just grass cutters!👍

[@mnmountainman9343]

I'm a fan of the look of these old lawn tractors

[@gonerydin4225]

When I was 12 years old my Grandad bought a new Colt 2110 w/44" deck for mowing around the farm yard. I ran that thing almost every day for 4 summers. Went through 2 engines and lot of drive belts!

[@tedleocat37]

I have a 1972. It's the 224 same black knight. My serial number dates mine as the earliest 224 Demonstrator in America. Love em!!!

Mr. Guider is well known and respected in the CCI community. Great collection. I can attest these tractors are super tough and reliable.

My dad bought a Case lawn mower back in the very early 70's and that's what I learned to mow on. He put dual wheels on the back. After he died it sat in out back garage and mom sold it. I wish she kept it. But I still have the wagon that went with it.

I have a 1970 case 220 that my dad and grandfather bought brand new in 1970 ! It has not run for years would love to get it back in shape maybe someday!

Nice lawn tractor's that makes me want to get one of either the Case or the Colt. Both have some really neat options. Looked like he had a lot of them, what a great video. Thanks for sharing, Merry Christmas to everyone out there!

If you plan on doing actual work like pushing dirt, don't buy one you'll be disappointed

[@jhitt79]

@@RJ1999x why not? I’ve pushed plenty of dirt with my Case 155.

[@RJ1999x]

@@jhitt79 If you had a gear drive or hydro you would have pushed a lot more

[@jhitt79]

@@RJ1999x well, I’ve got those bases covered too. You may say I have “garden tractor fever.” I use my 155 mainly as snow machine in lower Michigan. It’s got a 54” front blade, chains and an extra 250lbs. on the rear. It’s not built as heavy as some of our tractors but it’s my favorite one when it comes to looks.

[@RJ1999x]

@@jhitt79 👍 awesome. I have an Allis Chalmers 720 and 620 we can put a blade on 1 and the blower on the other for snow here in central Wisconsin

What an incredible collection, fun to see!

[@gregolson5532]

Great story. I acquired a 444 PK (powerking). I need the unique seat for it to be restored properly.

[@daviddelaet8116]

My family sold Case in the 70s. 442 12 horse demo, I spent hundreds of hours mowing with demonstrators. I remember the 108 demonstrator. I think that one was fairly rare also. 444 and 446 seemed to be the most popular.

[@don66hotrod94]

What a beauty!

[@cody481]

Yep that's what I need to haul me to Sunday buffet.

[@7viewerlogic670]

Nice tractors!

[@andrewthacker1389]

you guys need to do a video on a Case 644 or 646, they're the coolest garden tractors around in my opinion. Similar to the 444 and 446 (same hydraulic drive system and rear end etc) but they are extra heavy duty industrial versions with factory loaders on them, and they are incredible strong. You can catch a brief glimpse of them in this video, they are painted construction yellow. They even made factory backhoe versions which are even cooler. I have a very nice shape 1973 644 that you'd be welcome to make a video on, but I'm up in Alberta

[@paulr7547]

Very cool

[@richardstinton2549]

I worked for Massey Ferguson Australia in the 1960s as a service supervisor, and was asked to field test the MF12 garden tractor in my contracting business. Brand new & the only tractor brought into Australia; complete with all the accessories & hydro static drive. When I returned it to the factory in Sunshine, Melbourne I was told it would be returned to the US. It was a great machine, but the decision not to market them was a big mistake. My current machines include all John Deere.

[@upinsmoke1583]

My dad just bought a 442 demonstrater

[@nozart2606]

I saw a case demonstrator for sale at the Portland indianna show this year

[@tedchastaine2404]

I have a 65 case 150 I need a steering box for to get it drivable again

[@tomchrisfield7348]

Case made this paint scheme for 1 reason,, because IH made demonstraters.

[@darinmullins4770]

People probably think it was custom painted ?

[@brucewelty7684]

Hmmm, why would Case honor the Army (football team) in 1972? BTFOOM! Why is this vid so out of focus?

[@NoName-qt6wb]

Maybe alcohol ?
