The first one I saw was at a dealer in South Dakota. I mentioned to my wife “There sits the end of the family farm.”

Love our case 2470, has done endless hours of work over the years, been around the clock a couple of times prior to us purchasing it. I don't think I've used a tractor with so much traction. They were very advanced tractor for their time. Bring back the 70s. Only 150hp I could comfortably say it would outpull any other 150hp old or new tractor.

Well done Jimmy, thanks for all the work on this video.

Great video! I actually operated one of these back in the ‘80s when my father-in-law owned one. It had a cab on it. We used it for pulling a large breaking plow to open up new land after taking the brush off. I had the rear steer set a touch toward the straight edge of the furrow to get the maximum cut width of the large single share. This tractor was quite advanced at the time it was new, for sure.

Awesome! Thanks for posting. I love those Case tractors!

Thank you for sharing this video Jimmy, as it does show how humble and hard working the Nth American, farmer's were of this golden era and how the engineers at CASE were so blessed with innovations by their designs.

Farm I grew up on had a Muir Hill 101, this reminds me of it

That’s so cool, both the filmstrip and the tractor. And pretty nice hand tinting of the B&W slides.

D&J Implement (my parents) sold the 1200 to Jim Zanto. When my father demo'd the 1200, a farmer flagged him down and declared, "We want you to go faster, and deeper."

And to think, they came up with Monster Truck style steering before Monster Trucks were even thought of!

Amazing, thanks for sharing!

well done my dad had one of these. I think he sold it in 1977

fantastic!

It is interesting how small the engines were compared to the size of the tractor.

It only took 50 years to deliver the advanced machines we have today. Can't imagine what they'll be like in another 50 years. One thing is for sure, they won't have drivers.

Back in the day all tractors where beter then the other haha they old case tractors where darn good tractors we have a smalk 530 and 730 out of this line up

1975 I drove a 1470 TK in Alberta

More of these Jimmy

grandpa had one of these cllo rigs

Does anyone one know what brand of axles were used on this and the later 1470 traction king - were they by Eaton or Rockwell or someone else ?

The 1470 was even a better tractor. Same as the 1200 but had the 504 cubic inch engine. (8.3L) And an 8 speed transmission, instead of 6.

Is there a 1470 promotional video?

Realy like the cab option i would of wanted the cab on this tracto and im not into cabs unless its cold or ranny basicaly i dont care for cabs i dont like ac only thing i like is heat

you would have been shitting in the highest cotton with one of these, a stieger, or a wagner in the late 60's

504 case was far superior to this but i do have a NA 451 in a 1070 and that tractor has never ever had a problem
