Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Picked up this gem yesterday for $200. Actually made the purchase earlier in the week through facebook and etransfered payment, then had the chance to pick it up over the weekend. It's a 1991-1992 Massey Ferguson 320GTX with PS, same as an Ingersoll 4020PS, with a Kohler M20 Magnum engine, the hood and I think dash are also different. She needs some love, but price was right. Very rare tractor for this area.

I don't think it's that common anywhere, you just don't see them come up very often. Always thought they were cool. Give it some love and you will have a great tractor.

:113: Well done, I would have scarfed that up too Guess I should add Massey to my craigslist searches.

Cheers,

Nice score! You got it for less than scrap value! Amazing. This would a pretty good loader platform with PS and such!

Thanks guys, I'm quite pleased to have it.

It no doubt would, but not much use for another loader this size since I have the 7020 already.

Yes sir
:o That's a great find and a even better price :111:
The only thing that might be a problem is that closed off engine compartment
These tractors get hot in the summer time and that hood not going to help one bit,
but I like the look of your tractor
You sure don't see them come up on the market very often
That baby will be a wonderful work horse around your place.

Like CC said the closed off engine compartment caused engine overheat. I remember there being dealer installed aftermarket kit that added louvered opening to the hood. I don't remember their location, either in the sides or top.

Yeah I’ve come across a couple pics of them with vents in the hood but wasn’t sure if they were original or not. Some look like factory others maybe not so much. Here is a couple..






The first pic looks quite good.

I just noticed that the tractors in the brochure pictures do not have the louvers in the top of the hood like mine does, and the other 2 tractors I posted pictures of. Maybe that was what they changed? I wonder if there was still heat problems and that's why some have added the extra vents on the sides.

Very nice! Rare around our neck of the woods too, can't complain for that price!

Can just make out an old dealer sticker. Looks like it was sold new in Ontario. However it made it here too NS I have no idea.

Congrats, one heck of a deal!

I see then occasionally in my area, but nowhere near the price you nabbed that one at.
I've grown to love the power steering on my 4020.
Enjoy your new edition, mowing season will be here soon.

Essex! Chad just got his 444 from there. That whole area is a hotspot for Case and many other garden tractors. Got two tractors myself not far from there.

Lucky you mac, that it made it all the way to NS! I"m glad you got it!

Wow that's crazy! Very cool, if the tractor could speak what kind of stories it would have about that journey. Then again all of ours would have great stories! Glad it found its way to you!

It's true Eugen - I think it has to do with the close proximity to the US, and especially Racine, WI. Both brochures I have are stamped with "Spring Arbor Lumber, Spring Arbor, Michigan" which is just just over 100 miles from Essex, ON. Googled Spring Arbor Lumber and they're still in business, obviously not a Case dealer anymore. But Essex had a Case dealer too. My other 444 originally came from a Case Dealer in Ridgeway, ON.
