Case VAC for sale...need info

Nowhere can I find the hp rating on this beast. I need to look at it again to see if it has a belt pulley...I can't remember. I does have a pto and the 3ph. Also appears to come with a 4' bushhog type mower (Howse). No price on the sign and no answer yet on the phone number. Tin is straight and orange. Rear tires are like new. Front are so-so. I see an alternator sticking out the side so I assume it's been converted to 12V. Assuming it runs and doesn't smoke, what's a good value? $1500? Or less?

What else do you need to know about it to give me good answers?

Thanks.

its got a power lift. not an eagle hitch. the reason you couldnmt find a pulley is because its not there. the stub is though, thats the pump.

Case considered the Kingston pump a high pressure unit compared to its own system driven off the camshaft on later units which was called a low pressure system. it utilizes a remote cylinder mounted under the belly of the tractor and a remote valve body to control operation of the cylinder mounted beside the steering column.

havent really heard much in the way of eagle hitch vs. powerlift but im sure anyone can tell you the benefits of a 3 pt. hitch in any form is a very versatile tool on any tractor.

good luck!

• 48 VAC w/ powerlift & mower

He's asking $1200 for the package. I haven't heard it run yet. I took this pics last night with the sun kind of low in the west. Made it hard to get a good shot of the left side with the shadows.

if you do snap it up, you may want to consider replacing the air snorkel w/ the proper oil bath air cleaner.

go for it. they're nice little projects for a first time restoration too.

good luck!

the majority of VAC parts are still readily available @ the dealer, so investing in it is a good bet for a work unit.

the eagle hitch wasn't available until 1949 but Case had a "power lift" available that ran off a pump on the belt pulley shaft on models prior to 1949.

hope this helps!
