I'm a Farmall guy looking to diversify the collection a little bit. I am looking at an SC Case, 1944 and have a few questions.

Is there any kind of hydralic pump on it? How many HP? What speeds do the 4 gears give me? Are parts available? Were there a lot of SC's made so I can get used parts? Were fenders an option? Does the SC have any really good or really bad points?

Any other good info you can give me would be helpful, THANKS!

Steven

Hey, Steven-I've got a '44 SC. No hydraulics-didn't have 'em until the early '50's, I think. About the same HP as your H before it had overbore pistions installed. It was Case's competition for the H & JD B. Top speed is about 10 1/2 MPH, 3rd is a little slower than an H's 4th, 2nd about the same as an H's 3rd, & 1st is faster than H's 1st, but slower than H's 2nd. No problem for parts, except for main bearings-they are getting hard to find. I don't know how many were made, will check my book & get info to you tomorrow, also on speeds. Fenders were an option, but most had 'em. SC's are really tough old tractors-clutch runs in oil, so its practally bullet proof. They had hand clutches, which I think is a drawback, but I grew up on an H, so I'm used to foot clutch. They steer really easily, but do not turn short to the right-will turn as short as an H to the left though. (Case even made a left-hand mower for them, so you could cut square corners.) Case had really HOT mags, but parts for 'em are getting hard to find. A delco distributor (the one that stands up) from an IH or AC works good on them.

BTW, you can close the gate to the north of you-we've got enough cold weather down here already! How's school going? I'll post back tomorrow w/exact info on the SC. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)

Thanks for the info jal. School is going good, the work load gets a little bigger every day, but I'll be done before too long. Snowing here today and really cold! I'm already tired of shoveling the car out to go to school.

No hydralics?!?!?!?! Geez, the Farmall had the liftall belly pump in '39. Any easy way to add a pump on those? Must be some way to put an extra pulley on the crankshaft and mount a pump to the side.

Steven,

I'm an old time Case man, too. This is my (former) '48 SC. Look real good at the hood sides, you can see it is trimmed for an alternator (no, I didn't do it) and it looked to me like there was VERY little room down there. It would be kinda tough to mount a pump on it I think. An option may be to mount one on the belt pulley but it would not be live so...

Later model SC's did have foot clutch, hydraulics, and eagle (Case 3 point)hitches. There are a few different styles - the old one with hand clutch and seperate turning brakes, new one with foot clutch and turning brakes mounted together, and I think there is one with hand clutch and turning brakes mounted together.

That old SC of mine was a pretty nice old tractor, should of kept it but you know how that goes. I have another Case now, a VAC for my boy, and we brought a '48 Farmall C home Sunday, in addition to the ol' brown H. I guess I'm not that bad off after all!

See ya around, Fireman

I donno-its pretty tight up there-not NEAR as open as an IH. V, S, & D series don't have a frame-just HEAVY castings-top & bottom of the radiator are even cast iron on the S & D series. (They will only rarely come up in the front end when you "dump" the clutch, unlike an H-you can make 'em come up almost every time you "dump" the clutch.)

I always tell my Brother-in-Law (he's used Cases all his life) that Case's design engineer's father-in-law musta ran a cast iron foundary that had a contract w/Case & son-in-law got a kick-back. I've never ever seen or heard of a D or S series Case breaking in the middle, even w/loaders. (V's do once in a while in the torque tube-its kinda spindly like a C Farmall's.)

BIL used to run an F-11 on an NF SC. Didn't hurt the casting, but did break a stub ax off the front end while turning w/bucket up loaded w/pig poop when it dropped in a big hole. I convinced him that a foot clutch would be better-he's got it on an IH SM (SM has 450 sleeves & pistons-its got lotsa power) w/WF now-likes the foot clutch, but no PS & he & nephew complain it really steers hard. Can't argue-(it does steer hard, those F-11's are really front heavy compared to the Dual on my H)-but I tell 'em they're just used to those easy steering "chicken roost" tractors & if they had always used an IH or JD they'd never know the difference. (Another $0.02 worth. jal-SD)

Yeah it looks kinda tight under the hood, but what about one hanging off to one side? I know it's ugly, but if I get this tractor I sure would like to use it!
