[AT] Case 995

[Jim Becker]

Come on guys, the history of David Brown is interesting and all, but I am 
really trying to find some useful information for a person that inherited a 
nice Case 995.  The two questions I asked were:

> Are these "more recent" David Brown Cases collectible or is most of the 
> interest older US built Cases?
> Is anybody here a Case collector?

Is there anyone that can give any guidance on collector interest in a Case 
995?  Do I tell her to sell the spin-out rims on Craig's List and run the 
rest over the scales?

Isn't there even one Case collector on this list?

Several models of Aston Martin used David Brown's initials as he owned
the company.   Wikipedia has a good discussion on the company.   I
worked on some of the David Brown tractors that were built during the
Tenneco purchase.   We had a 1200 that the factory forgot to install the
main PTO power shaft.   It took over 4 months to get the shaft from
England....  No internet back then,   A bunch of money was spent on
overseas phone calls.
