So, an X9 with no IPAD.
Right after world war II my dad got a new case A6 what's a pick up attachment and Wisconsin engine
Back in the 60's, we had a Case A6 pull type combine with a Wisconsin 4cyl engine on it.
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.
Love seeing the old machinery being used as intended. Out of curiosity, was the 75 orange and green from the factory, or has some creative parts swapping occurred over the years?
Thanks! Yes, Case used orange and green for many of their equipment in the earlier years.
Love it! Is that an 8 or 10 foot head? I picked up a 10 foot NH 905 last fall. I just got it out for a test run for the first time today. Unfortunately life has made it difficult to farm this year so I won't get to run it until next year. In the meantime, I'll live vicariously through TH-camrs like you.
Thanks! I believe it is an 8 foot head. We hope you get out and get to using yours!
Looking good. Love the video.
That's cool as all h ll
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.
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.
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.
That is a beautiful sunset! What makes it even better is seeing it while on a Case tractor 👍
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. 👍
Just picked up one of these at auction as my first tractor, I can't wait to use it in the field.
Is this what your dad called "ditch hay"?
Yes Sir!
nice countryside 😃. Where is it filmed?
Thanks, Central Iowa
hello nice vid... but no sound. Why are there green lawn in the field ? thanks for sharing your vids.
Hi, sorry, I don't have a drone that captures audio. The green strips are waterways and are where we let grass grow to help reduce soil erosion due to water runoff. Without them the soil would wash away leaving trenches.
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
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.
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.
Hard to beat the steady power of a D series CASE
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.
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.
@@benjaminfitz5626 Thank you. I've been searching, so far no luck. Your videos have helped me identify my plow a little bit better. I have been wanting a "BE" series but haven't found one within a reasonable distance yet. I'm in eastern PA. But I'll keep digging.
We had 3 of them 50 years ago, reliable and cheap to operate
We were discussing in Fargo ND yesterday about the loaded rpm a LA tractor will give on 540 rpm PTO. It's phenomenal
Long stroke low RPM engine. Lots of torque under load.
Good to them out& work them
Great looking and great running D.
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..
Evening Ben. My name is Tom and my dad had a 3-14 BE series plow on his J I Case 611B tractor which had case-o-matic drive. The plow had the 3.25 inch Case hydraulic cylinder
That would have been a great combination!
I have a 1952 A6 combine at WMSTR
Are you going show more model's j.i.case plows, or case equipment?
Yes, that is my intention (time willing!)
I'd like to see an overview on the centennial plows when you have time
Sounds good! It is on my list. I think I have some good images and information to go with that one when I make it.
14-16 case throw away lays are the same. Available through shoup
were you feeding across or milling a taper!
I believe Aaron was feeding across. It is a piece for dad's Kverneland plough.
I love it Ben. I can't wait to see it in action.
Very cool!! But running it with a Hit and miss engine would be next level...!
Indeed!
I got e h plow I didn't get off
Depending on the soil and blades of the plow says it all.
Till more gooder you.
Let’s be realistic, change the rules if necessary. I never stopped every 10’ to see how my plow was working. And probably plowed at a significantly faster pace.
I will have to look again in the rulebook but I do not believe there are any rules that prevent you from going as fast as you desire and stopping as little as desired. However, there is a time limit in which if you exceed it, extra points are added that will diminish your overall outcome. Thanks for the comment!
Should see if Anderson would make Case moldbold extensions at his foundry.
That would be good but unfortunately, I think the take rate on those would be so low that you either wouldn't make any money on it or they would be so expensive that no-one would buy the. There just are not enough Case plows in use anymore.
@@benjaminfitz5626 depends on how authentic someone wants their setup. At least he's got the 3D print sand cast machine, so low volumes are a lot easier to accomplish!
I didn't know he had that. That would be very handy! I wonder if he has tried making repro grill frames for the 300 round nose tractors?@@thomasmorgan4549
I didnt know you could lock the tail wheel in. Do you know how lock it in?
When it lowers there should be a track and roller that it falls into. This lets is travel straight in the furrow and when raised just above the ground it will stay centered when backing. It is not ideal but will get it backed into a shed.
Great video 👍👍👍
Was that a 5 bottom plow that you cut down to a 2 bottom semi-mounted plow?
Yup!
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.
Thanks!
James says way cool.
those disgusting wind mills....soon to be in the land fill..
That is a clean old machine! I've got one on my bucket list! Dad had one when I was a toddler though; after a series of unfortunate events he has forbidden them from his farm.. not mine though 😂
They are very handy tractors to have. CaseIH should have kept them in production.
No foot throttle?
No foot throttle. It is uncommon to see one of those with a foot throttle if at all.
Nice machine! I found an old Hesston with a 10 foot head that's not in as good shape as yours. I'm trying to decide if i want to put money into getting it running again or just convert it into a pull type. I have the stuff to make the conversion, just gotta decide what i want to do.
How do you guys shell your buckwheat? I'm lending a hand to an older guy to run some new grain. We would like to do it all in house.
We sell it for cover crop seed.
I see buckwheat pancakes in your future. 😊
That's really cool I didn't know it could do whole corn. On my channel I have a c.s bell flat belt and 1917 ihc corn sheller
Beautiful VAC flat deck & seat. Sounds great, but a real waste of time watching you NOT retrieve what ever it was. Next time, please plan something entertaining
