I made mention of using it last fall, I think. Anyway, I had never investigated its identity too closely until a week or so ago when my son and I were standing by it burning some trash. I'd post a pic, but I cannot seem to get one small enough to meet the 1 meg limit.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It is mostly covered in peeling silver paint--maybe that aluminum roofing stuff, but I am not sure. Under that silver is a coat of green. There are hints that maybe a coat of red lies under the green, but that red could be rust.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Anyway, while we were looking for hints of paint, my son realized that there is an eagle-on-a-globe on the clutch box casting--Ah, ha! That means Case! A little looking around on the web suggests that it is either a Model N or a Model R. I have owners and parts books on the way for both so that we can be sure. The manuals are all dated '51 or so, so I guess that is within or near the end of the period it was offered. I cannot imagine this fairly basic and primitive implement being offered much later than that date--just from looking at it, I would have guessed '30s or '40s.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Anyway, I haven't had any success turning up any info other than the manuals (and them on eBay). Does anyone on the list have any experience with Case implements of that period?
