ATIS General Tractor Discussion / Case tractors with 3-71 GMC engines

« on: May 01, 2009, 11:44:50 AM »

I bet the old operator who used run the tractor is "hard of hearing " now. I do not know who did the Case conversions but Kinze used to re power Tractors with Cummins Engines. If the Engines have GMC on them they are from pre - 1960. In 1960 GMC engines changed to Detroit Engines so IH could put them in their Trucks. Thanks Merton

I have not purchased any Deere paint recently but it used to excellent at coverage. I have heard that paint companies will be mandated by law to change paint formulas to water based instead of oil-based. Your paint could be the new paint formula.

Spring is Officially here according to the Calender. I know it's still cool here in Eastern North Carolina and I'm just beginning to get ready for spring shows. Share your Cabin Fever and / or your Spring Fever Ideas that built up over the winter. Merton
