1950 Case Model VA need your help!

It's parked at a shop where my son-in-law works and he's going to help me get this old girl in as best running shape as possible. I'm new to tractors and know very little, he has a decent mechanical background. He's sending the water pump out to get rebuilt, so no problem there from what I see.

What I need to know is all the fluid info for this tractor,weights and amounts, ie. engine, trans,hydraulics for eagle hitch, rear end, and cooling system. Is there a Thermostat some where in the cooling system, if so where?

Thanks, all help is appreciated.

Come on Paul it's not like I'm asking for the combination to fort knox, or a quatum physics answer, just some accurate specs.

Engine oil: SAE 10 to 30 depending on ambient. I use 30 wt year around. Many people use 10-30.4 qts. 5 qts if you have the optional filter.

Air cleaner cup: same as engine crankcase.

Steering (bolster): SAE 140 (if oil lubricated),fill to top of worm gear. I use 85-140. If grease fitting keep sufficient grease in the housing to cover gears.

Torque tube: SAE 10 or 20 motor oil depending on ambient. I use general pupose tractor hydraulic fluid. Capacity 8 qts, fill to lip of opening for the fill plug.

Transmission: SAE 90. I use 80-90. Capacity 28 qts. Fill to full mark on dipstick.

The t-stat is located in the cylinder head water outlet hose just above the elbow.

I do have a question for you or others that might read this post.

currently my VA doesn't have a PTO, is it possible to put one on? If so where's my best chance on finding the complete unit and do you have a ball park on how much it would cost?

I've got a picture of the rear of the tractor but without a email address I can't send it to you or others.

Thanks
Ron
