[AT] MPG of tractors

[Jim & Lyn Evans]

What year is it?  It must have had steel wheels from the factory, but I
figured that they just put a lockout in it to prevent the shifter from going
into fourth.   
Having seen some of the original option prices, I bet the original owner
saved around 65 cents by not ordering it with the fourth gear.

Regardless, it is not a tractor I would take on a tractor ride!

It only  goes 5 mph? 



Yes it doesn't have the 4th gear some of them like mine were built  without
4 gear. It does have all the things that make you think it there like  the 4
on the shifter cover and the indent when you shift it in but nothing
happens it just sit there. I don't know the reason why but Case built some
like  this and some with the 4th gear. My 1948 has the 4th gear. I have to
say at  times when on the road going to a neighbor place over the hill I
wish it did  have 4th gear.
