Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

So. No drift cutters on this thrower. So some of the banks I back into and use the rear fenders as drift cutters. Hehe. Holy cats and Jumpins, a lot of snow and still snowing a bit. Had some of the banks at the road fall in on top of me and the tractor while I was driving ahead and throwing. So at least open now in Case of an emergency.

Few more pictures.

So was wondering how long I could go on the fuel tank. I’m not sure what it holds. But after 1.4 hours of throwing snow it used 4.3 litres about per hour. So that give me an idea of run time on the tank. Should be able to do that work for two hours with out worry of running out of fuel.

Onans can be a bit thirsty when working hard.

Looks like fun Noel. I like the picture of your Case parked in the snow bank by the road. It really shows you what these tractors are capable of. Might be time to play with the Ford and its it's two stage to throw the snow a little higher on the snow banks.

Noel - As far as I know the fuel tank in my 4016 is 3 gallons (11.34 liters). I'm not sure what size fuel tank the Case models had but I think it should be similar in size. Your manual should list the size.

During heavy mowing with my hydravac my 16HP Vanguard can burn through about a gallon per hour. I'd say I burned through a gallon or so in the past two snow storms. Maybe am hour of blowing total?

Sounds about right MattA. I measured the tank with a dip stick and it looked like it was below the half mark or so. I put in what I figured to be 6 litres.

So can’t leave little brother in the garage and not have a go at it. So took the Case 224 out, same thrower as the Case 446. Well it’s a very capable tractor also. A little less power, throwing distance and traction than the 446, but very capable. My change of the 5” thrower drive pulley to a 7” made the world of difference in how the thrower worked. Was useless with the 5” pulley.

And it’s still snowing some.

Noel

Alright. That’s enough foolin around. The highway thrower is coming out today and get the work done. Hehe
As good as the Cases worked, they don’t throw snow like my Ford.
More snow on Tuesday , Wednesday. Could be rain thou.

I like the chute on your Ford! My neighbor has one and it really throws the snow. It's a two stage and most of the time the rpm sounds don't sound that high. He was cleaning out my next-door neighbor's driveway when I was bringing in firewood for my shop wood furnace. He threw it over his fence threw some trees and all over me. I hollered at him, but he didn't hear me! I called him on the phone later and expressed my displeasure.
