This 1947 Case VAC was bought new by my grandfather, I drove it by myself when I was 7 years old. :thumbsup:

Cool tractor any plans to restore it? No, don't have anymore, that is why I wanted it reincarnated.

:thumbsup:Xfaxman you have some rather unique toys that I have seen in other posts. Thanks. You must be into vintage iron also. No, just have owned a lot of tractors over the last 30 years.

What does the vac stand for. VAC is just the model, they also had a VA.
Is the jeep a commander? It is a 1962 FC150. :cool2::drink:

Looks like a Forward Control there. Nice!
Right, pictures from 1985.

Man, that is one sweet Jeep.

I thought this was going to be a thread about disliking Techno music. I was going to agree that it's crap. Since you asked, though, they did make Hydro tractors a long time ago. International made many hyro models as early as the 60s, I think. The link below will give you some model numbers to check out. I have no experience with them, except that Martin Diffley, a very knowledgeable man in the area of vegetable farming tractors likes them for what they are good for, which is using PTO implements at infinitely variable speeds. They aren't best suited for pulling plows all day, but you probably already know that. He recommends buying one with low hours, like under 4000, or with a receipt for a hydro rebuild.

Looks like with a battery, oil change , and some fresh fuel it might light off??:drink:
Whats the story?
It was running fine. The right rear rim rusted away from calcium chloride leaking from the tube. Got a replacement rim and put the tire back on.

Had other mowers and the V417, so didn't need it. Sold it to a Case collector that restored it.
