Paul: I actually got my first free gas cap sometime in the late 1960s or early 70s. This all came about as the result of an accident, in which the old type cap got the blame in subsiquent legal action. These caps are not on inventory, thus they wait until sufficient orders are in for a production run. The reason your cap comes from Navistar is Case refused to take on that liability in the buyout.

Initially the program only ever applied to letter and super letter series tractors. Most of the 100, 200, 300, 400 line came new with the new type cap. There may be some exceptions. My 300 and 130 both came new with the new type cap. However I have seen 40-60 series tractors with old type cap, not new tractors mind you. I know if you send in form with a 140 on it today, you will get a new cap. I sent the form in about 4 years ago for caps that had already been replaced once, and they came in about 6 weeks. After that my son bought a couple tractors including a parts tractor with a valid tag. He received new caps about 4 months later. I am quite surprised the program still exists. I suppose as long as one of these old tractors are running Navistar is liable. Those caps are probably quite cheap insurance for them.

All diesels up to and including 66 series use the same cap.
