Not mine and not a Case but has a Case Hood on it. Cool looking tractor and would be a great conversation piece!
Keep the Peace

I often think that a machine with tracks is missing from the stable!

that's probably diesel too!

It looks like a Briggs and Stratton emblem on the side?

Right Tim, no diesel there. I haven't looked at the side picture before you pointed it out.

There was some cool little crawler tractors made by the old tractor companies.
I ran a John Deere MC once pulling a scraper. Coolest JD I ever ran.
Be cool to have one, but kinda hard on the lawn.

Old track machines are pretty neat. A friend of mine had picked up an old case 310c. We had fun getting it running again. He bought it to fill in a swampy mucky area in the back corner of his lawn. Ill never forget the day he took it across the lawn and turned a little. Just a short test drive he said. The look on his wife's face. She really liked her barefoot lawn.

That tractor was one good workhorse.

Allways wanted a little bulldozer. Don’t know where I’d use it. Hehe. Love to Plow some snow with it at my sons long driveway. And annoy the stupid neighbours.
My pick would be a Oliver OC-3 or 4. I think they keep both tracks moving while turning. Most old dozers stopped one track to turn.
A fella here on PEI has an Oliver and does his driveway with it in the winter. Watch out for the slippy patch thou. Hehe.

Who wants to bomb around, Dave?

Some guys I know have been building these out of old snowmobiles. I'd like one for ice fishing, but I need another project like........

Back when I was a teenager in the 60's. I was at a snowmobile race during the winter. Someone showed up with a twin track machine that was one of a kind. The tracks were made from old agri tires with the beads cut out and stretched over a couple of tires on rims on each side. It was V/8 powered and was steered by braking one side or the other. It had headers straight up in the air and very loud. I'll never forget that one of a kind machine from my past.
