The Cast tractor was built in Bologna, Itally about 1969-1970, and maybe later. Reco Sales, of Indianapolis was made the "exclusive nation distributor" of the Cast in this country.
The Cast export model is designated the 435-L and is a 4-wheel drive, 4-wheel steer machine, powered by a 32 HP Slanzi diesel engine.
The machine is squat, 39.5 inches high, and only 101 inches long, weighing about 2500 pounds. The 45.6 inch wheel base, along with 4-wheel steer, gives the Cast an inside turning radius of just 40.5 inches.
It has a hydraulic differential lock that allows all four drive wheels to be locked together to eliminate any wheel slippage. Power was transmitted by a 3-speed, hi/lo range transmission that gave six forward speeds from .9 to 13.0 MPH.
I've only seen three Cast tractors. Two are owned by a man in western Ohio, who allowed me to copy some of the sales literature he has. One was for sale at the Portland, Indiana swap meet last May for $1000. It needed a lot of help.
I'm afraid I can't help you with a source for parts, probably a want ad in Antique Power Magazine would be your best bet.
