New Little Orange Tractor

[Wombat125]

Ok, when I say orange, I think I really mean Flambeau Red. And when I say new, I really mean circa 1968.

This will be the big brother to my 1966 JD 110H garden tractor. I always thought that the big wheel Case design made a lot of sense. When I used to plow the garden or push snow with my folks' JD 316 or Wheel Horse C-160, I was always traction limited. I didn't have enough lead in my rear to keep from spinning, even with R1 tires and wheel weights. I'm guessing the traction on these Case tractors is substantially better. The ride should be better too.

Picked up the tractor, blade, mower deck, trailer, and tire chains for $1000.

Is there any company who has had more colors than Case? They have built some good tractors. Us having two of them over the years.

Nice case. I think it needs some R1s or R4s and your ready to plow.

Nice find!

I remember using one of these back in the late 70's-early 80's. Very strudy built and would push a heck of a lot of snow with turf tires and chains. I believe those rear axel/transmissions were bullet proof.

Seeing that brings back good memories.
