Family Tractor Comes Home After 51 Years Away: Case 310C
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- An unexpected turn of events finally lead to this one finding her way back home. Since I did this video we have messed with it a little bit and already got a track to move reluctantly so those are currently soaking in a diesel/ATF mix and hopefully they will free up so they dont have to come apart. Also pulled all the plugs and checked the cylinders with a bore scope. They are all clean as a whistle and have very nice fresh cross hatching on the cylinder walls so it has indeed had at least some engine work done. Shot all those full of diesel and ATF as well so hopefully it will pop loose without much effort.
This winter you are going to have to tell the family history story back from the beginning.
I believe your story about grandad Roundy. I have been watching this spychic who drives a Uber hauling people around and he tells them things no one else in the world knows about them. He talks to the dead. My rottweiler died 2 months ago and I am still mourning that wonderful boy, and I talk to him every day. I am 77 and miss him horribly. Some story about him clearing some ground and a branch clocking him knocking him out on this machine. If you can get the pto working that would be great.
Warms the heart seeing a family tractor come back home. There is something there when it comes to these old machines, almost like they are alive and have a soul. I look forward to seeing you guys wake this one back up and get it back to doing what it was born to do.
She wants to run.
It’s great to see your father was able to get it back!That machine definitely payed for itself.!!!!
I'm watching the crawler videos like a great book you can't put down. I'm watching and waiting for the next video chapter. Thanks.
It's in good hands! Two guys with the capability to restore a family airloom!
Heirloom.
Nothing better then a family tractor coming home, we found my great grandpas 1965 international 806 standard last month. It was lost in 1974 when it was traded away for a new international 1466 FWA. Sold in WI and found 50 years later on a farm in Iowa
How cool you and your dad got the crawler back. You could see and feel the emotion in your dad. This will be so much fun watching the 2 of you working on it. A few years back, my son and I got my grandpa's 47 case vac that my dad's dealership sold to him, back in the family. It was an awesome feeling
Dealer by back program
Wow what a fabulous bit of symmetry your dad looked well pleased to have her home, can't wait for the repairs to get underway
He’s all excited
Good seeing you get back grandad tractor
I have the first tractor my grandad bought when he made it home From world War ||
And my other grandad second tractor he bought after scraping the first one !!
Thanks for the video and the heartwarming story behind it. You and your dad will find this as a labor of love and joy, giving the dozer a welcoming home.
Thanks for the video and story, the whole deals cool. It kinda sounds like you just bought your dad half his retirement project after you've both worked on it and played with it for a while. On a side note to the Irish tractor video, the guy I work for here in Canada's originally from Ireland, we were talking about that tractor today. He remembers about 30 years ago something about somebody farming with 2 or 3 more Whites, so there might be more of the original 6 turn up after this one sells if they sit in the hedge and weren't scrapped or sold to collectors before. Take care guys.
Love the back story behind your bringing this home. Nice clean and straight machine. Glad you and your Dad had the chance to purchase it back. Cant wait for more update videos. Thanks for the update Ethan. Take care. Fred.
Thanks
Thank you so much for the amazing story you’re Dad told about that great machine,looking forward seeing it run
Thanks.
Paint looks really good for sitting out for 10 plus years. I went to look at my grandpa's allis 185 we sold and it looks way different than it did in 2014.
Great to see you were able to rescue your family's Case crawler!
Thanks
Great project to work on with your dad. It’s part of your family history and more memories to make with your dad. It looks like a solid tractor to fix.
Wow! Parents always have the most awesome stories!
Yep
Same with grandparents
Them little case crawlers are very handy. A bud has a 310
We are all very excited for you and your family, Congratulations. 🙌👏👍 Thank and especially Dad for telling this Story
Thanks
I hope there will be a restoration/ reserection series on this. A family tractor is really cool to have.
There will be.
Great story. Your dad looks like he is living the good memories. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the rest of the story.
That's a great old machine with a great story, a real family heirloom
Yep
Awsome bit of family history and very happy to see you got it back
Thanks
I'm so happy you guys got the dozer back home
Thanks.
Great to hear your father we all have machines that we adore that were grandpas
I have a farmall M bought new in our town and changed our family’s farming heritage
Nice.
That's an awesome crawler. Love hearing the stories from the past. Great video.
Thanks.
Always nice to see family equipment come home. Thankfully I was able to purchase tractors that each grandfathers farmed with. Good luck
That is definitely a good find and piece of family history. Funny you mentioned that Case/Oliver merger I read a 1956 news article on it. I guess it was to shore up dealer network. But once case bought American tractor they got the best construction line around and it was more profitable than AG
She was waiing to come home. A little bit of Great-great grand pa still on the farm. He's gone but not forgotten.
Yep
Great to see this dozer and hear the story from your dad. Look forward to seeing some videos fixing it up!!
It’s gonna be fun.
That merger of the two companies that would have been heck of thing to see
I had a project like that and the best thing I did was take off the big parts and built a heavy trailer to set it on so it could be moved with my skidloader! Made life so much easier with a small shop!
What a great catch for you Dad and family wow.
Thanks.
Great looking little dozer. Hopefully you'll have a little workhorse to add to the collection soon.
Once again, a great video along with history to go with it. It's extra special because of the sentimental attachment. I will be looking forward to the videos on this one. Thanks to you and your dad for sharing. See you later.
Been a long time in the making.
That’s a great family history purchase! Can’t wait to see you get into this project.
Thanks.
Cool story, can't wait to see it operating again !
Thanks.
what a surprise video cant wait to see the videos and yes its a little sweetheart l will be watchin!!!!!!!!!
Thanks.
First off, Congratulations on recovering the dozer!
Second, looks like there's a youtube star in the making...
Third, This is uncle Fun Guy approved!
Family story is always good to hear with machinery
Awesome, glad you guys got it.
Ethan, that is cool you were able to get the Case dozer that was in the family. Hopefully you guys will get it running fairly soon. Thanks Michael
It won’t take long.
Nice to see reminds me of my grandfather he owned the case tractor dealership for little while in the early 80s in south ga
How nice to hear from your silent partner. I was going to request a video where you interview him
Wow,that's a real once in a lifetime chance and it's going to be an epic of a rebuild too.Can't wait to see how this turns out.
Been a long time coming.
And an even longer time before it leaves again.
Great score Ethan, and the reason I watch your channel is the variety of the projects you guys take on and I have no doubt that that thing will soon be running like a clock and the whole family connection that’s a bonus and by the way, my friend owns a excavating company And 40 years ago that model was his first bulldozer
They were popular back in their day. Case dozers and backhoes were top of the line.
I have no doubt that you and your Dad will get the 310C back to mint condition. It is obvious that he is excited about it, already knows he can get the right fuel pump.
Great story!Neat to have it come home!I hope you do videos with both you and your father bringing it back!
That is soo cool. I'm very excited for ya. I'm looking forward to seeing it run. You have inspired me to restore my grandfathers allis chalmers 170 and use it on my property. As always, love your videos thanks for taking the time to make them.
Nice.
This will be an interesting project.
Cool to hear your Dad describe the history of the machine.
The idea of putting a roll bar and limb guard is smart.
Concussions from limb smacks are not fun!
I know several guys that have been smacked around on open station dozers.
Man great stroy you can hear it in your dad's voice how happy and ready to go he is on it. One of your best videos I've seen bringing the life back to it's home. I can't wait to see all the videos of it in the future of getting it running and painted up and using it. My dad had a little john deere dozer like that and if I could find it it would come back home as well please keep us posted on this
Dad is all excited
I heard that story about case and Oliver about merging together. J.i.case bought American tractor company ( track) in1955 that's how case started painting their tractors yellow..You're lucky find it, that close!
They talked to Oliver first then when that fell through they tried with Moline. Interesting times.
@@Oliver66FarmBoy you're correct, I read that j.i. case magazine. I like to see the p.t.o lever left side. Case had live p.t.o by then. But couldn't stop it while running the tractor. The newer version lever stop the p.t.o while running it.
hope your dad will let you make a group of vids bringing the gal back to life will be cool to see that i bet that dozer would bring more than you think get a person that knows case stuff it would bring 7 to 8 grand all dolled up
Wouldn’t bring that much in the condition it’s in right now.
Man that's a great thing Farm Boy and Farm Dad!! looks straight and clean too. PTO and all. She'll do you a lot of good around your farm and fields. Probably be seeing her at Rantoul one day!
That’s awesome!! Looking forward for seeing it back to work!
Thanks.
Great story behind your families dozer look forward to seeing you and your dad tackle the repairs
Thanks
Great story and great to hear it from pops. I know y’all are mighty proud to have it home again where it belongs. Always had a thing for those earlier crawlers 👍🏻hopefully that story broke the ice with your dad and he’ll be on some more. Y’all take care and keep em comin OFB🇺🇸
The first generation of case crawler. I like the ones with the ag grill vs the later industrial one.
Yep ya can find a ripper for it , Mine had 3 point and PTo and power angle blade .And it was a Gas job.
Great find I hope you get her running soon I wish we could find my dad's John deere g that he sold I would love to have it back in our tractor shed.
Just simple awesomeness.
Yep
Awesome machine and great stories. Can't wait to see it running and working again.
Very cool bud
That's such a good feeling getting those old family pieces back...ive been able to do that twice.now and it feels great. Man, I don't know.how you dad never wears a hat outside, I couldn't do it, I've gotta have a hat on ...lol
He never has.
Case 310's are neat little dozers. Fella can maneuver in tight quarters. Engine is same as the 430 utility I think? AL B.
9:37 Case 310c. 1963❤good 👍 ❤😊❤ 13:20
Very cool
That is bad ass guys be safe out there your buddy from Nebraska
Thanks.
Wow, what an awesome surprise, that is a cute crawler. That would have been an interesting company if Case and Oliver merged.
That’s for sure.
Nice Ethan, once she's back in order it would be great to see it in Rantoul.
So cool you got it back
That’s awesome!
Thanks.
What a cool thing to be able to accomplish! Good luck with the rehab.
Thanks.
Minneapolis Moline & case also talked merging
Nice little dozer! My grandpa had a Case 310 dozer too back in the day. Funny story my cousin was maybe 6 or 7 and he was playing around in the barn and somehow managed to start it and my grandpa and all the adults were in the house and saw the dozer crawling along through the field with my cousin sitting in the seat. I wish I knew what happened to it
Case sold a lot of smaller dozers back in the day.
Your ghost story gave me literal chills but was very interesting
Strange things can happen.
Very cool machine Sir!!
Thanks
It's a clean looking little Case, Should be a fun project!
Yep
I can't wait to see the progress on this one! Congratulations!
Thanks.
That old girl would be badass to push snow with
The eagle has its claws in two Oliver's lol
Awesome! Handy size to work with the mini, easy hauling
Yep
Looking forward to this adventure.
Thanks.
Just awesome. Way to go dad!
Thanks
Just do what it takes to get it usable and have fun with it. I have 5 crawlers and the restored ones don't get out enough because of the restorations. Like my TD-6 and 3 bottom plow, it'd be fun on plow day.
The only difference between a work tractor and a restored tractor is your mentality. If you have a painted up shiny tractor that sits the entire time that’s harder on it than getting used all in the name of not putting a scratch in the shiny paint.
That is one cool dozer.
Awesome man congrats, and reading the info sounds like you guys will have a half way decent dozer in short order. Hopefully no major hidden issues with it
It’s been cooperating so far.
Looking forward to the video series
Thanks
Great result 👍
Thanks
That's sweet!!
Very nice im lookijg for my grandfathers tractor i hope i find it.
Very cool! Thank you
Thanks.
More projects they never end. That's the fun and challenge.whats the horsepower
My uncle had a 310 here in Pennsylvania, he was using it to dig a pond and got it stuck in some kind of quicksand/mud. It sank up to the battery boxes, i guess they had quite a time pulling it out with the big tractor.(Massey Ferguson 180)
Rule number 1. Never get the dozer stuck.
👍👍
Ah that Case does not have steering clutches , It has band brakes inside setting in MINERAL OIL so ya need 80-90 MINERAL OIL NOt gear oil. . Since those tracks are old stile pin and bushing and not the lubed ones since it has sat your rails are now one frozen stiff chain . I had a 68 case 310 i bought new . . Ya may get lucky with about four or five cases of ZEP penetrating fluid and get the pins to free up OR take the chain to someone who can pres the pins out and clean them and press them back in.
That could pull the hay conditioner
Who makes hay with a crawler? That’s a good way to mess up a hay field.
very cool :) i could use a dozer like that..
J.I. Case. What a great story. Your dad is excited to get going on this dozer. I know anything from my grandfather & father (both gone) is very important to me. Looks like your sisters boyfriend is like minded to being around equipment. Great video & I'm looking forward to seeing more of "KILLER". Did your great grandfather name it?.
Yea that name has to go.
Oh your gonna throw money at it
