This one is serial 9623951 and my dad's one is 9618716, so it's a little newer. Curious as to the year since Case didn't start keeping track until 1970? So either a 1967 or 1968 model.
It has most of the original parts on it still, which is why I grabbed it. I already have everything that's missing from this one. Nice to have the original seat pan (although cracked I can use it as a template and fab a new one and get new upholstery made up locally), front axle and rims, even original headlights. Hood is really good too. Steering wheel is like new complete with cap. The mower deck still spins which is a bonus. Mines more pitted and seized, but I have the guards so between the two decks and tractors it'll make a nice combo. The engine seems to have great compression.
Amazingly the PTO clutch engages like new with a good snap and spins freely when disengaged!
My wife's smile was priceless!! Almost as big as my son's lol.
So now I have matching 444's and 155's...which of course means I'll have to continue building on that trend
