I have a Case D (1939)S/N D4302745 about to be restored. The more I search for info...the less I seem to find. I hope someone can put me right.Was the C engine block used in the first D production run..and if so...what was the difference? Did the standard D have a turning brake? Mine hasn't. Someone told me the D without a turning brake was known as a DH...is this correct? If not...what was a DH? Is there anywhere I can find basic D specifications for my serial number..such as engine size, HP, compression ratio,RPM, max speed, standard features, options tyre sizes etc. Were all D's designed to run on Kero?...mine has 2 tanks with a change-over tap protruding from the tanks below left of steering wheel. It has been suggested that should one want to run on Kero (which I probably wont..except occasionally at rallys)one must use Aviation jet fuel (don't laugh)as the readilly available'heating/lighting'kero from the Gas station is less volitile and considerably down in octane rating compared to the 'old power Kero' that used to be available. Any comments on this? Best regards,
David Bird (Australia)
