Anyone seen this tractor model?

[BigBlue1]

I'm a Deere guy so forgive me if this is common knowledge in Case realms...

I was at a bar recently that had a lot of old memorabilia hanging on the walls and from the ceiling. One item that caught my eye was an old hood from a tractor. This hood was larger than for a garden tractor so I assume it was some medium-size farm tractor. Never heard of David Brown though. Obviously it is something related to Case because there is a Case logo on the lower part of the hood too. Any interesting history or stories around this?



Thanks,
Rob

From TractorData;

David Brown was a patternmaker and began business in Huddersfield, England in 1860. The company's primary business was the manufacture of gears. In a partership with Harry Ferguson in 1936, 1350 Ferguson-Brown tractors were built. The partnership soon dissolved, however, and Ferguson left for the United States (later partnering with Ford). The first David Brown tractor, the VAK1, was shown in 1939. Initial orders were for 3000 units, however World War II reduced the actual number built to only 1000. Full tractor production resumed after the war. In 1972, David Brown Tractors became a subsidary of Tenneco and operated as a division of JI Case. In 1983, tractors were no longer built under the David Brown name, but the Case name. The Meltham factory, where all David Brown tractors had been built, was closed in 1988.
