Sounds like you have several backups. We could all use dedicated mowing and snowblowing tractors.THEOTHERHALF wrote: ↑Sun Aug 04, 2024 7:45 pm never heard of case gt,i was at work when a fellow showed up with a 224 with caster he wanted 300 bucks for it no one wanted it at work so i told him i would buy if he could deliver it that nite at my house,it smoked pretty bad needed a set of rings,but everytime i used that caster i felt blessed to have it,i have a long driveway and we get some pretty heavy snowfall this was back in 1998,since then i added another 224 a 444 a 446 and my favorite a 226 that has that same caster on it,i acquired a lot of attachments since then thinking its good to have a back-up for everything we use funny thing is the back up attachments are still stored in same spots as 10 -15 years ago and that rebuilt 224 that i first bought has not been worked in at least that long but it is all ways ready too.

Re: How did you get interested in Case Tractors
You have a few GT’s extra for back up. I can appreciate that, I’m the same way. Great story theotherhalf.

Re: How did you get interested in Case Tractors
Our Massey 2616H was purchased used from a lawn care business and had high hours on it. When the motor gave out, a replacement was considered.Our drive way is 150 feet of gravel so it wasn't a surprise to find 2 massive holes in the snow thrower scroll. There was about a foot of snow in the drive and moreon the way. Procrastination was not an option.
A 444 with deck and caster was advertised about about 15 minutes away, and seemed to be priced correctly. It opened our drve like a champ, making the massey seem like child play.
Within a few days of the purchase, I started down a rabbit hole. and lust for a fully dressed 448 began. If only lust stopped there.

Re: How did you get interested in Case Tractors
Spike, I can see you have many CCI GT’s. Down the rabbit hole is a good description for an addiction. I have five and don’t feel like I’ve been sucked down the hole, but a nice 448 is enticing. Thanks for adding to the thread. Harry. Oops: I Iied, I just looked at the bottom of my post. I had forgotten about the 226. Maybe I am starting to slip down the rabbit hole, but still hanging on by one hand.
