Hello from Webster NY

[ras101]

Hi guys, been into Case high wheels since 2008 and now have three in my stable. A 1978 446 short frame that has become my go to winter tractor fitted with wheel weights, loaded front wheels, B&S 18hp engine and electric PTO, 48" updated snow caster. A 1987 444 that I am rebuilding from scratch from the frame up that has been languishing in my basement for several years now due to ill health but is now probably 80% complete and worthy of a paint job this year. I also have just been given a 1981 446 by a neighbor that just has a starting problem but work faultlessly last year and ran really sweat. It is ALL original with the exception of the solenoid and has a deck that is to die for.. I am also into graphic design and over the years created detailed and very accurate parts drawings of most parts for the 446/446 models. My current project is the Case cab and that has been in the works for a few years too long due to my illness but is probably 60% along now.
So some of you will know me (ras101) from other case forums as I am very vocal about transmission oils, etc. - Gordy, Harry, and others I look forward to interacting with you again.

Welcome to our humble forum Ray, I for one am really glad you decided to join us and I hope you'll enjoy discussions with our friendly and knowledgeable members, many of whom you know already! Looking forward to seeing your tractors and what you're doing to them!

Thanks Eugen. Wish I had known about this site earlier.; Really think the other one, that will remain nameless has lost its way and that's a pity. Site owners really need to listen to their members before changing their site function. This site to me seems much more usable as a sharing site of ideas which I am sure members here want. Thank you for the welcome and I hope I can help other members here too.

Great site here and great members. Post some pictures some time of your collection.

I do a lot of rambling on here , so don’t mind me.

@ras101 What you say resonates with many of us and that's why I took it upon me to make a site that is the way WE like it, not some suits that don't care about us.

Great to hear from you Ray, I hope all is going well for you. Sounds like you have some irons in the fire, a man after my own heart. Glad you joined this site and look forward to seeing pics of your GT's in the stable. I rarely get to Rochester but if I do I'll give you a shout!

Keep the Peace
Harry

Hi Ray, welcome to CCIGT, sure glad you joined us, I think you'll fit right in. Great group here and we definitely have a little fun too.
It's good you're feeling better and getting back to your tractors.
I only have one tractor, a 93 4118 that I bought new, but I've been waiting for the right older Case to come along.
