I had a 78 b120 GX Plus for about a year in 1988. It was the same green and in rough shape from previous owners. I used i to drive to work in the Idaho desert and would get 50+ mph. It was a fun car to drive and it cruised at 70 mph nice and straight. It had a 5 speed manual with 1st gear located "in and down" with reverse "in and up" where 1st was on most normal transmissions. I remember accidently shifting to R at a stop lights a few times waiting to go. Such a fun car to wrap up the revs and shift.

First time watching your videos. I’m guessing you live in Tennessee

In the late 70's early 80's I had a 1966 with the same color and engine and yes, the same broken rear springs. Mine had a bench seat.

How many hours of pounding did it take? Im working onna 292 at the moment and shes fighting me every step.

Good runners drove one to work for years will run at high RPM dependably it was also green those hub caps used to have black inlay

I had just recently bought me a case tractor vac don’t know what year just yet trying to figure it out I would like to change my distributor over to that set up do you happen to have the phone number for the Parts? It has already been converted over to 12 V. Just starting to work on it gotta change the exhaust manifold. It’s cracked trying to find identification plate to tell me the year

My neighbors had one just like it, BRIGHT metallic green with tan interior (and carpet); they must've liked it because after having a baby they replaced it with an '81 Datsun 210 SL wagon (that one was white with blue interior).

Very nice, these tractors are getting rare. So nice to see someone preserving them.

What other upgrades did you do to the suspension because it was already sitting high

I had a D-B210 I. Loved that car . I got 36 mpg when I owned it. Great car.

That’s a c70 or c60? See where you commented below it can haul 10 tons I’m looking at getting a c60

What a waste. Would’ve made a good cruiser

The rings were stuck with all the rust that locked up the pistons in the first place. Anytime an engine is seized from rust, the rings are full of junk too and will not come clean and free floating just by running the engine. That will score the cylinder walls. A smart mechanic would pull the engine and clean the pistons and rings right. And reseat the exhaust valves. It didn't sound like a good, refurbished engine. Use a wire wheel attachment for a grinder and a drill to clean surfaces. It cuts through rust and carbon without taking any metal. A wire brush on a bench grinder is good for cleaning bolts, valves and other smaller items.

I loved the vid!! When do we get an update? Thank you!

The "choke" is probably an enrichment circuit. My 1981 Kawasaki is the same way, it just adds more fuel.

Excelente My friend continúe with the Jeep already suscribe,Say hello Jorge.

😯

Good job & good video your's truly 1313ky*†*

Was there’s reason not to rebuild the original?

Question why didn’t you make the elbow come from the ground up? Just curious

Greetings from the UK. I really enjoyed watching this pal. Is there going to be a follow up vid??

I remember hauling grain with those. Added more acres and needed bigger trucks. Went to Petes and Kenworths. Still got a soft spot for those old GM Trucks.

nice ride , thank you.

Hello, can you tell me what Size of V-Belt between Engine an Gearbox is it. Thank you and best regards

Nice rig! 366 gas?

Nice B though

You should never push down on the hand crank when starting any old tractor because if the engine “kicks” when starting it can break your arm. Always start by pulling up from the bottom and do quick half pulls.

those were good little tractors.lots of power for their size.

My1950 VAC has a diamond plate 6x6 plate step in front of clutch. Makes it much easier on the operator. Mounting bracket is 8" from deck to step. My rear light was mounted on right fender. Have not seen another mounted this way. I use a 5' rear blade for driveway, ditching, snow removal, post hole digger, etc. Would not suggest moving wheels in. Strong possibility of a roll over.Also, i did not see the crank on yours . BTW you may want to check the screen for gas tank. Had to replace mine last year for first time, bad shape. Enjoy this gem.

My name is Tom. You have a very nice 1950 VAC. My dad got the same tractor back in the late sixties.To start with your lights are the older 42-49 models. Late in 49 Case came out with the eagle hitch so they didn't have to pay Harry Ferguson for his three point hitch. AC came out with snap coupler/ IHC came out with Fast Hitch, and JD had the tool bar setup. Case made the eagle hitch to compete with Ford's 8N, but Case added the low pressure live hydraulic system to operate the three point system, Late in 1949 is when the eagle hitch was born. Case didn't use the hitch on the S or D series until 1953 and at that time they increased the displacement of those tractors about 15 percent at which time they also added live PTO too.Case moved the head lights to a bar that held the two side panels because they added a step on the left side of the deck to mount the tractor. I see that there is a home made bracket on the left side to help support the steering gear box. Late 1950 or 51 there was an edge wound hydraulic filter added to the hydraulic system. The hydraulic control valve on the eagle hitch is set at 850 psi. The case shop manual said that if you needed more lifting power to the eagle hitch you were to open the bypass valve on the eagle hitch and install one 3/8 inch washer under the spring to increase the pressure to 950-10000 psi.Most 1950 and newer VAC's came with the left hand deck steps.In 48-49 time frame case replaced the 9 ball fly governor with the two fly weight governor which they used into 70's or eighty's. And the metal cover that is around your transmission shift lever doesn't belong there. Once you remove the bell pulley you are to bolt that cover in place of the belt pully. I see that you have the M/S carb. Our 1950 VAC had a zenith carb. I liked the M/S carb better. Our 1949 VAC and the VAH had M/S carbs.Case went to the shoe brakes in 1951; 50-42 they used the disk braking system. In 1947 JD A,B, and G came with starter/ lights, and generators from the factory while Case VAC came with battery starter and generators.You could order a mag on the VAC from the factory speciel. If you have the over sized selves and pistons your displacement went from 124 cu inch to about 134 cu inch. Tom.

What's under the hood..Sound mean

Not an easy job

Pretty sharp!

My dad hade 2 of them

In my area, if a snowplow hits that and it damages the county's plow, youre on the hook for the repairs.

I wonder if premixing a little 2 cycle oil into the gas say 100:1 night help unstick the rings

Why don’t all of the mechanics on KZfaq have remote starter switches, buy one or make one

This was my first car and although I tried, I could not kill it. It’d be great to see a full restoration.

Tough old Reds. Blessings.

2 rear rims and tires. Front sheet metal , it would be a runner!

So glad you did not turn it into a derby car. For 79 that was a decently optioned car. You should re do the headliner it’s super easy to change the fabric as long as you kept the cardboard backer.

restore it

if it was mine i would fix it and use it. find a 72 inch belly mower for it. you can straighten the grill if you take your time . fix the brakes .if mine i would do a rings bearings and valve grind overhaul the engine kit is reasonable from stieners

WOW! Many new tractors don’t start that well. She was trying to tell you that she wanted to go plow a field. I hope you can find some rear wheels so you can see what she can do. Might be a keeper for general work. Good luck. 🥸👍👀✅❗️

That's still set up for six. That's the original generator. Charging system is probably nit working so can use 12v. You'll just burn up the coil and regulator.Motor sounds fantastic. Doesn't get any better. Tinwork must be the only bad thing and rims.

IH built stuff to last

The owner is harder to start then that tractor on a frosty morning😂😂😂❤

That's amazing, how smooth it runs!!
