Unknown Kit for Sale
« on: January 03, 2021, 07:43:51 am »
Please see Empire Posting for more understanding of this posting. Here is one of the kits I mention that I do not know what it is. I have a box that says Case tractor wheels and in there are wheels that my father made, could this be the kit for that tractor or does anyone identify what it might be. I expect I have drawings for it once I know what to look for. Let me know if you are interested int he kit or can educate me on it. 

Thanks!

Thanks for your interest, I don't have a price in mind because I am still trying to figure out what it is. Someone on another forum just turned me onto it being a Cole project and that it is a Case tractor. If that is the true then I also have the wheels for the project that my father had completed. Do you have a feeling you know what the kit is? What is your thoughts on a fair price for both of us?

It does not look like a Case to me.
I think it is from Model Supply out of Chicago.
They were offered in 1/8 hp, 1/4 hp, 1/2 hp, and 1 hp.

You are missing the cast base at least in your photos.
Find the drawings. They will tell you more and make the kit worth more.

I have had a few of these over the years.

Good morning Gil,

Thanks, this is another avenue I will investigate. There are more boxes to go through so maybe I have not gotten to the base yet. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me. I have not watched the video yet, on my to do list today.

Thank you again,

Bart
