We had a VAC wide front that my father got as a veteran returning from the war. It was the first and only new piece of equipment they had for years. I started when I was 8 years going round and round pulling a 2 bottom CASE plow. It’s still pulling a hay rake to this day.
The Case 500 tractor is my favorite, when I was a kid a neighbor had one used for cutting hay with a Fox forage harvester, no matter how big the windrows were, that 6 cylinder diesel engine just kept belching out black smoke without missing a beat. Thanks for the great video, I love Case tractors.
Grew up on Case. We had or have the following... RC, VAC, SC, DC, LA, 970, 1170 and 1470. My favorite older Case tractor I never owned was a 730. Later model would be the 3294. They just look cool to me.
A close friend of mine bought a running/driving 1070 dirt cheap (less than $1000) at our local fall consignment sale. It smokes under load, but, everything works. He doesn't have room in his shop, so, it's been living with my Allises, in my shop for a couple months. The "girls" have accepted it since it's kinda orange lol! We're getting set to tear into it this weekend.
We had a 311 with oversize rear wheels which allowed to to reach 30MPH without any load and if the road was smooth enough. As a youth enjoyed the few times we cod reach that speed. We also had a SC, 400, and 411.
I remember the Case emblem was an eagle and headlights in the front. I drove a Case 930 and 1030 and even an old Case LA that was a bast to drive with no power steering and an iron steering wheel. The LA always was overheating, and I hated giving up water from my water jug, but there as work to be done. My brother-in-law and his grandfather had nothing but Case tractors-830, 930 and 1030 until they merged with International. Now he has IH Case tractors and combine. He even owned part of an IH Case dealership.
Back in the day, I know around here Case tractors were the top construction tractors such as backhoes tractors , they were known for long lasting tuff tractors the engines were bulletproof.
My grandpa had a model S case he bought during the war. It was hauled home with full steel wheels on . The mistake was when it was changed over to 10-26 rear tires , and those were a hard to find tire size in this area. But every summer it was the side delivery rake tractor for putting up grass hay and I was just a kid back in those days . And since it had a magneto it was hand cranked to start always .
Interesting a guy your age would be into so many older Case tractors. My parents farmed in Western Nebraska and we ran mostly Case tractors during the 60's 70's 80's and 90's. I ran a lot of 30, 70, and 90 series tractors. My favorite was the Case 830 case-o-matic. After that probably the 1370 although I wished we had the 4520 John Deere...... Ran the neighbors and loved that tractor. My favorite tractor of all time was the John Deere 4430. First round cab John Deere and an amazing tractor well balanced and was ahead of it's time. Thanks Big D! Very few Case lovers most of the time people love the Green machine..... Always asked my dad why we didn't have John Deere and he thought they were too expensive, but with the re-sale value of John Deere he was wrong..... Used Case tractors bring a fraction of John Deere. Thanks for the video!
Drove a VAC loved it They may have been only rated at 19 hp but operated like a 30 hp tractor I think what set CASE apart was the big bore, long stroke low RPM engine that wasn't subjected to that high RPM stresses other tractors endured. However, with the 930D I've heard from owners that they've had head and head gasket problems......Good video but time to move onto Allis Chalmers . From personal experience the D17D D19D 185 and the 190XT were ok but they've had some bad ones as well.
2 comments. First Tenneco did not buy out Case until long after the 500 was out of production. Kern County Land came into the picture around 63, then Tenneco around 69. 2nd, I think the L should be at the top of this list. When it was introduced, it was a complete new design, with elements that stayed in production for 35 years. It was extremely durable, and economical to operate on low cost fuel. It had no rival in competition. The LA was still enjoying great popularity 20 years after the introduction of the L with the same basic design ( plus a road gear, electrical, hydraulics, and individual brakes).
I grew up with Case. Thank You They were the best older tractors built. Did you ever see on the axle bolts slots slid back to tighten the chains in the transmission.
What a great job you have done Dave putting this video together. You had a nearly impossible task making selections there. Think you will find the mechanicals of 600 and 900 are identical. The difference being the 900 was a 600 with modernised tin work
What great info! D, what can you tell me about a Case 711-B? I am gonna be homesteading 20 acres and have found an 8n and a 711-B, for similar prices. Recommendations? Also can you provide the measurement specs for the 711? I can't find them online. Thanks for the wonderful post, Sir!
I wish we had a larger selection of brands here in west Alabama. It's going to be a Deere, a Ford or a Farmall around here. I'm happy to have them but I'd love to have a Case and an Oliver in my collection. May have to travel out your way sometime.
We just didn't have many case dealers in Northeast Arkansas I can only think of 3 or 4 within a 30 mile radius of where we lived there were actually about as many Allis Chalmers and Ford dealers in our area..
LOL yep sorry I tell you what though it was on the second time that I wrote this listwe rewrote the top 10 list about four times before we came up with what you see in the video
My great grandpa had a case row crop but I dont remember the model but some things I do remember it was orange, had a belt by the seat, manual, and open cab. Can anyone help?
Dad used to rent a 930 diesel. He said it had good pulling power but took an acre to turn around and was an either addict. He bought a gas 190XT which was a good puller too so he stopped renting the 930..... gas was cheap at the time but soon went up. Years later Dad bought a 190XT diesel and my brother has a 190XT diesel and I have a 200 and a 190XT diesel which is in restoration mode and they all will easily kick a 4020 and I think the XT diesels can take any 930 too.
We had a case 1490 with a David Brown turbo engine with the power shift transmission.It had a allied loader and it was a damn decent machine the transmission became hard to source parts for.We replaced it with a brand new Deer.i still miss the white and orange beast.
You didn’t mention that the V series used two Engine Brands over the Years. The first used a Continental either a 124 or 140. Subsequently, They made Their own. Fergieman
@@madtrapperofmudcreek9183 Tenneco (Tennaco?) killed off IH once they bought it. While neither brand was really failing (Although you do see more 88 series IH tractors than whatever Case series was being made), they were merged in hopes that it would strengthen them and keep them from dying, only to have Case wear the IH name and colors and share nothing else.
This would be my 1-5 case. 300#1 ofcorse.#2 Case 730hicrop deisel. #3 930 western #4case 530 #5 1200 after that any case in tan or wite i cant believe 300 is so low their rare if you can find one and one with all the tin work youll never find one dad looked his intire last 40 years besides paying 100,000 best looking tractor ever made if i could own any antique tractor would b a alischarmlers d19 best muscl tractor i realy like muscle from 60s and 70s still workable. But clasic like he sead. I love all are older 60s and 70s.

Case was never very popular in my area , likely more due to poor dealer than product. I had a 830 and he would not even order parts , said it was to,old , this was in the 80s and they were not a very old machine, went to green and stayed with it . Thought about a 2590 but to many were having Powershift problems we'd repair bills were as much as tractor value
We had a Case when I was growing up with a front end loader on it and a gas motor that shot a flame out the exhaust while it was running at night. Can't remember the series. Also I don't understand these old people who would rather stuff rot than to sell it. I tried for years to buy a old generator with a 450 red diamond international engine from a man who refused to sell it. He died and the wife called the scrap yard and GAVE YES GAVE them the generator and everything else he had.
I had an experience like that besides not being able to buy that 600 I used to know a gentleman that had a old rumley and some other very old tractors like that sitting of his farm when he passed awayhis youngest son called the local scrap yard out and had them clean the place upall of those old tractors and some very rare and very old equipment went to China and is now a Hondathere was some very historical pieces on that guy's place but he would not sell even though he knew that he had cancer and didn't have long the last time I talked to him he wouldn't let anything go
@@CrazyDEquipment Rumley now that is rare! It's a shame so much valuable farm history goes to scrap. I know where about 30 small hit and miss motors are in a shed and the same thing will happen to them. The old man died and the wife is in a wheelchair and won't talk to anyone in person. Took her heating oil and she refused to come to the door. Leave a ticket and she sends a check. When she goes the kids will scrap everything too.
this was only the second top 10 video I did quite some time ago we totally changed the style now and the tractors are up for much longer and you don't have to look at my pretty face anymore LOL
I want to think the 600 was a 377 cid lp or diesel...I may be wrong. The 500 Case is by far my favorite...love that orange. 2090 definitely better than the 22. The 930 was an institution.
In the early 70's we went to Denver via St Joseph MO. Sister lived there. Had an aunt and uncle that lived in Denver we went across Kansas on US highway 36 I believe and some where before we got to Phillipsburg Kansas we passed a wheat farm that had several 930 or 1030 case tractors plowing wheat stubble I think there were at least 4 maybe 5 the field stretched for a mile or more wS very impressive for a 13 year old...!
Don't take this as being mean, or disrespectful but alot more time with the tractor picture on screen and you talking in the background would make a better video. Hardly had time to focus on the picture and appreciate the look of the tractor. I guess I could have paused the video to check out the pictures better, but I can look at pictures and still pay attention to what you're saying. Anyways, thanks for the content.
This is the very first top 10 video we did on the channel we changed the style to the way you were talking about the pictures come up you never have to look at ugly lol
Let’s be honest. Case was always behind with innovation. Did have slow running engines with good torque. In an overall top ten tractors Case would be absent.
Think that's a bit unfare. Example. Compare an L A witha D model. You couldn't really LA was streets ahead. Not saying do were no good. They were brilliant. But behind in design, so sorry mate can't really agree. But you're entitled to your opinion 😃

We didn’t have a Case on our farm but I worked for a farmer who had a 930 and I spent a lot of time on it in the 60s.
The video and the nice editing is very much appreciated.
Love your show case are good tractor I had 2...930s hooked together in the early 80s they would pull ..Colin

Would love to paint a 7100 series magnum white. Someday
A white 7100 would be gorgeous. I wish case ih had the option for white on the post-transition models

Thank You for sharing your valuable insight's into Case Tractors...
I grew up with Case. Thank You
They were the best older tractors built. Did you ever see on the axle bolts slots slid back to tighten the chains in the transmission.
Can't wait for the Farmall/IH version
What a great job you have done Dave putting this video together. You had a nearly impossible task making selections there. Think you will find the mechanicals of 600 and 900 are identical. The difference being the 900 was a 600 with modernised tin work
So cool, you have so much knowledge about this equipment!
Have farmed with CC DC L LA 400Super 800 830 1370 and 2670. Liked them all except the last one
I have a sign for the 500, I've always wanted to see one

Man that crab steer was legit see why case kept it in production through the 80s
My favorite still. all American
Always wanted a 1370 spirit of 76.
I have a near mint 300 triple range
that will do @ 30+mph. Regret selling my D and V, but great case video.
Case 990…bulletproof and a true workhorse. They sell for more now than when new!
We just didn't have many case dealers in Northeast Arkansas I can only think of 3 or 4 within a 30 mile radius of where we lived there were actually about as many Allis Chalmers and Ford dealers in our area..
I have a JI Case 444 and 220. They are show tractors and turn some heads!!
I think the case VAC should be higher on your list.... my grandpa had this and it ran forever... perfect for a small farm!
Best 2 case tractors sold in Australia LA & 89 series Magnum, nothing else came close!
Where do you buy "Stagger" tractors?
Thank you!!! But man no 830, darn
LOL yep sorry I tell you what though it was on the second time that I wrote this listwe rewrote the top 10 list about four times before we came up with what you see in the video
I don't even know how a tractor works and I'm loving this channel.
So was Your favorite 900 series a 600 with newer sheet metal? The 600 was only produced for One Year like the IH 600 - correct ?
Fergieman
I have a just gotten a 351 case tractor starts and runs with nice metal looking to pass it on to a good home to restore
Throw some pictures of it up on crazy D equipment group page and I bet you might find somebody who would be interested in giving it a good home
The 600 used the same block for diesel and lp.

My great grandpa had a case row crop but I dont remember the model but some things I do remember it was orange, had a belt by the seat, manual, and open cab. Can anyone help?
mine is the DC-3
I like the lists! I think the case hat makes you look thin!
When I was just watching the video I was thinking the same thing LOL
I've run an LA on propane. If you like a hand clutch, the LA will suit your needs.
