i have that sickness too. last year I saw a picture in the photos of a later model case vac that was all burned. it was sitting in the garage when some s.o.bs. set his house on fire. later the tractor was advertised on here for sale. it had complete eagle hitch with center link, drawbar and one pair of wheel weights. i wanted those parts to put on my 51 vai. i bought it from my neighbor. it was sitting 15 ft. from his garage when it burned down. it still has some paint on it. i made an offer of $225. he finally called and said i could have it for that. i drove 540 miles,30 miles north of Grand Rapids Mi. to get it. i stayed saturday night in a motel in Holland. when i first saw it i thought it was worse. the neighbor man drug it out with the wheels sliding. i backed the trailer up to it,hooked the winch cable to it and drug it up onto the trailer. he had his tractor behind it in reverse pushing till it spun out in that sandy ground. my winch is a Ramsey REP 8000 and the battery wasn't the strongest and that was about all it wanted to do. the man told me the tractor had been restored and the engine had been redone by a case dealer. i took out the plugs and put some WD40 in it,took of the grill and radiator,put a snap-on box end wrench on the crank nut and kept pulling and pushing till it moved. i turned it over some then filled it with automatic tranny oil. a lot of guys called about it but i was the only one to make an offer. I hated to see it go to China. after i pulled it off the trailer one back wheel rim came off. i jacked it up to put it back on but it is so warped it doesn't fit but the axles turn. i found the manufacture date stamped on the wheel. tractor is a 52,the one that is so hard to find sheet metal for. the grill is almost perfect,not a dent. charley.
