1969 442 Performance King

[Doublet]

To me this is almost my favorite of the older Case tractors. This tractor is a 1969 Case 442 PK. The PK or Performance King was only made for one year, (1969). It has what I call an egging cab. It is owned by a face book friend of mine in who lives in Trois-Pistoles, Quebec Canada. The cab it’s self is rare and I have only seen a handful of them.

I have several 1969 Case 442 PK’s but they pale in comparison to this tractor. One of the first Case garden tractors I bought was a 1969 442 PK with a non-factory loader. I still have this tractor and it is currently in a million pieces in shipping crates awaiting restoration someday. I badly want to find a similar cab to install on mine after restoration. It ha been stored for many years but I have located all the parts to restore it other than cab. One day it will happen, until then it just increases in value in my opinion.

@Doublet Terry what make is the cab ?? I like it . Might have to try and make a copy of it that would fit the 446 Blower unit . What is the chance of seeing more pic.s of it or that style cab.

I will send a message to the owner and try to get him to join the site. It might take a little while but I will get you more information about the cab. All I have ever heard them called is egging cabs.

They were made similar to the big tractor cabs but I forget who I was told made them..Somewhere on DVD's I have a lot of information on cabs that were made by former members as well as others.

ASAP I am going to try to contact some of them and get them to check out the site. Many of them were members of the original site when Tom was moderating the site. They have either quit altogether or went to Face Book. It is possible some are on this site but have changed their names.

I will try to find out.

Many thanks!!!

I am a member of the FB Case group but facebook is not a good medium for this sort of discussion, IMHO. I like a forum much better!

[Doublet]

@DavidBarkey I completely agree about forum vs Face Book.

@DavidBarkey I don't know if you have seen them or not, but he has a bunch of YouTube videos of it.

What a very nicely restored tractor.

That is a very nice GT. One in a million in my opinion. Can anyone tell me what is the difference between a Performance King and a regular 400 series GT?
