Hello from Missouri

Hello everyone! I just joined and would like to introduce myself. My name is Jeff and we are in Missouri. I grew up on a farm and now live on 16 acres with my wife and children in the hills close to the Mississippi River. I enjoy working with old tractors and implements. I’ve been working with row crop tractors for several years now, 4 Farmalls and a Case. We just acquired our first GT, a Case 648 with a D100 backhoe. It hasn’t run in 10 years and my son and I are in the process of bringing it back to life. I look forward to sharing what we’ve done to get it running and learning from your knowledge and experience! Thanks for letting me join you guys! I appreciate it!

Welcome Jeff! Sounds like a lovely place you are located in. That's a great machine you have acquired, one of the rarest Case models. Lots of great folks here with a lot of knowledge if you need any help. Post some photos when you can!

:wave: Hi Jeff, welcome to CCIGT, it's good to have you here. :highfive: The loader tractors are some great work horses in a small package. We have a few here with the loader tractors and backhoes. There's help here if you need it, and we all love a good restore and keeping these little tractors going. Hope you enjoy your time here and join in the fun.

Welcome to the forum Jeff. Nice looking fleet . I really like the 47 Cub . You obviously have the skill set needed for the 648 . All the manuals and first hand info is here for sure. A few guys here have loaders .

Welcome to the CCIGT forum Jeff. Your place sounds like heaven to me. I'm sure your 648 lbh will be a nice tractor to have in your collection. I have a 644 lbh and find it very helpful in saving my back. At least that's what I told the wife when I purchased it! I look forward to reading your future posts and your 648 lbh and other tractors you own.

Keep the Peace :cop:

Jeff, it is always nice seeing an other 600 series backhoe being given some TLC. Looks like you have a bit better machine to work with than mine.

You do have a hard to find unit being a 648bh.

Welcome aboard

That’s a heck of a project you took on! Not sure if I’m ready for a basket case!

We have done a considerable amount of work to the 648 since I brought it home. As soon as I have time I’d like to start a post and show our progress.

Thanks again for the welcome everyone, I appreciate it!
