I checked the the serial number a few years ago, it's a Super C, and if I recall, it was a fairly late model one.

I bought the tractor and all the equipment off of the original owner about 10 years ago. It has never been painted.

It has the tall grill shell, one piston was stuck and I had to replace the piston and sleeve, thats why I am sure it is a c113.

I have also read in an IH collectors book that a few Super C's were made with the dual fuel option, which was a low compression c113.

It has the 2 fuel tanks, shutters, and a flap that is lever operated in the exhaust manifold to keep the heat up.

The tractor was sold new to a dairy in North Central Arkansas, that is where I bought it.

The farmer bought everything at the same time and had it delivered to his farm, it was the only tractor on a totally self contained 80 acre dairy operation for many years so it has some hours on it, the farmer had held on to horse powered farming until he bought the Super C.

The land was very rocky, hence the disc plow.
He terraced a 40 acre plus hillside pasture using nothing more then the little C with the disc plow.

I wished all the equipment was with it but he had already sold some, he also had bought a hammer mill, corn stalk chopper, 2 -row planter and a disc at the same time as the tractor and the equipment that I did get.

The farm was in the middle of nowhere and apparently still had cheap distilate and kerosene available up into the 50's.

I have tried plowing with it, fresh sod will kill it dead in first gear. Runs good, has quite a bit of blow by though.

It will probably go to parade status either way, maybe a stock tractor pull or 2 locally.

The plow apparatus is about 20' long with a 2 1/2" solid steel beam, steerable tail wheel that links up to the front wheels, depth adjustment handle and lift linkage that links up to the center farmall lift. The whole apparatus looks huge sitting beside the little tractor. There are quite a few disc plows in this area, I have never seen one quite like this though. Most have been cut up for 3 point use I guess.

I was wondering if anyone else had seen a dual fuel Super C??

Was all the equipment painted blue? I have seen blue paint on the cultivators and hardware, nothing is left on the plow though.
