Beth, I used to own a modern Case tractor but I'm not a "Case guy". I did look your tractor up. VACs were built from 1942 to 1955. They built a lot of them and you still see a lot of them around but rarely as good looking as yours. Case lumped all of their tractor model serial numbers together so you can't tell how many were built of any given model per year. They allotted 100,000 per year up until 1953 when they went to 150,000. Your tractor's number puts it roughly halfway through the year's production. From the picture it looks like yours could be a highcrop model which would certainly make it rare. I would guess that a collector would give an extra $1000 to $1500 for it, above the $3000 that a nice looking standard might bring. On the other hand a mid 40s extremely rare Ford recently went for $13,750 at an auction that had been publicized all over the world and attended by bidders from all over the world. In order to make your tractor known to that collector that just has to have it you need to advertise it in Antique Power Magazine, The Heritage Eagle, which is a quarterly, and in the photo ads on this site. You first need to verify that it is indeed a highcrop. Good Luck
