Re: Lombardini 2 cyl air cooled diesel eng

They've been around for a long time, Italian manufacture if I remember correctly. I think that they were owned by and parts available from Briggs and Stratton.

Re: Pictures: this moment

This batch of parts are for the 2N Ford to see if I can get it to start easier in cold weather. I’d really like to use it and the 446 for winter duty instead of having to get my Case 830 out. The 830 does a good job but it’s big and heavy. I got it stuck one winter and had a bear of a time getting ...

Re: Robber edge for snow blades

30 or so years ago when I sold a tractor/cab/blade combination to a company that had the snow removal contract for the Federal Building in Chicago, that was one of the requirements as the entire plaza at that address is marble. At the time poly or rubber edges were not that common, I ended up sourci...

Re: Case tractor question.

Did the 18HP Onan simply not exist as long as the 16HP Onan? Would be nice if the Kohler Command fit in the 3000/4000 series tractors. Correct, 446 production began with the 1973 model year and the 18 hp 448 was not introduced until 1980. Bob When did the 20HP Onan enter production? The P220G Onan ...

Re: Case tractor question.

A little off topic, but I don't think a new tread is required. Bob, correct me if I'm wrong, but the motors for 200 and 400 series have been obsolete for some time. Did Ingersol find new motors for the 4000 series? Did they go back to the separate spline shaft in transaxle with external motor coupl...

Re: Case tractor question.

I don't know what is the most popular CCI GT . But in my limited experience the "446" seams to be the most talked about . I think in has to do with the sear volume of 446's built over the years as a posed to other models . Our resident dealers would have better knowledge on that than I . ...

Re: The Fluids Debate

I know that by jumping into this I am on dangerous ground, so please don't consider this a recommendation, it's just what I do and I am not one to argue. If it works for you just do it. Summer use for Kohler, Onan and Briggs Vanguards I use a straight weight SAE 30 Diesel oil, 15w40 Shell Rotella in...

Re: How many years you got with Case tractors?!

I'm thinking that it was 1973. Dad was a rural mail carrier and always had a part time job at various places to fill in after he finished his route. He was working for a guy that had a bulk fuel oil business, installed furnaces and had a small excavating business. The owner, Vernon saw an ad in the ...

Re: Needs a project??

I think Dan used to have a website for the tractor build. 30BKuxw-jiE I had the pleasure of driving the tractor at that show with the powered dump cart attached. Dan's fabrication skills are unmatched. I know he posted the tractor for sale on Craigslist several times, I wonder if he still has it? A...
