I forgot to mention the worst tractor buy. It is another SC Case. I bought it on a whim because it is a 52 with eagle hitch and live power. I knew the head was cracked ahead of time but the sheet metal was very nice and everything was still stock except for battery ignition and an alternator added. I did not look it over well enough and after I got it out of the dark building and into my shop I got my eyes opened up. Everything that could be broken on the eagle hitch was welded up. After I got the head welded and got it running I found out the PTO clutch was on its last adjustment and later on I found it slipped under load. The main clutch is on its last adjustment and does not snap in tight. It rides rough because of bad tires and I just cannot get used to that left hand clutch being the old Deere guy I am. Getting on and off it is not nearly as easy as my 48 SC without eagle hitch. The casting where the front mount cultivator mounts is broken away. Somebody must have hit something awful hard with the cultivator.
So I am going to make lemonaide out of a lemon. The engine in the 52 is good with very little ridge in the sleeves. The engine in the 48 SC is tired and knocking so the 52 engine will be going into the 48. That should perk it up maybe a little bit. The back half of the 52 is going away. The axle trumpets will make good heavy jack stands but the rest will be scrap iron.
