Honestly I would leave the cab on it just because it is so unique and I would much rather buy it with the cab as without. But I've never understood taking cabs off, I believe it's the dumbest idea ever bur that's just me I guess.
Giant sweat box with the cab on. Resale value goes to nothing with the ugly cab too.
@tmonteIH I don't know, I've got 3 tractors with aftermarket cabs, open the window or some airflow and they are still considerably cooler than baking out in the direct sun.
@@toby0395 most of my open station tractors have canopies or buggy tops.
@tmonteIH Took the cab off of my 930 because it was literally falling off and beyond repair and now it's miserable to use.
@@tmonteIH Buggy tops and canopies do nothing for you in the winter.
That cab is a conversional piece that people like to talk about when they see it in person
Better with it on..
Better how?
@@tmonteIHit’s like looking at a freak show but some where out there it turns some ppl on 😂
Total transformation without the cab!
A completely different tractor for sure.
had a white cabbie version here in Ontario on the farm as a kid ... mid 70s ?
what really sticks in my mind was the twin screw snowblower that cleared ? 4ft deep & 8ft wide that was bought for it
could clear entire length of farm drive in 1 pass
There were a lot of 70 series case tractors in this area. Local dealers sure pushed a lot of them.
I once had a Case 870 power shift tractor. Good tractor, did alot of heavy work with it. However when those power shifts go bad you can have some problems! The clutch disks do wear out eventually on those tractors. Also and what scared the heck out of me was when my tractor was sitting in the barn idling in neutral it slipped into gear on its own!
When the synchronizers wear out in the transmission you can leave the tractor sitting still idling in neutral and the tractor will all the sudden slip back into gear. Needless to say the tractor tore half the barn up. The only thing that stopped it was a post big enough to stop the tractor and made the wheels spin down.
I'm posting this to warn anyone around a 70 series power shift tractor to be extremely careful. If you get off the tractor for any reason it may be a good idea to shut the engine down.
It wasn't long after the barn incident that 1st and 2nd went out on my power shift. Only 1st and reverse were working. Also the transmission got to where it wouldn't go into 2nd and 4th range. Probably synchronizers again?
At that point it was going to cost me way more to repair the tractor then what it was worth. I'm very thankful that I didn't get myself or someone else hurt or killed during the barn incident! So everyone please be careful around the old power shift tractors or any tractor for that matter. God bless
That’s some pretty serious wear.
Awesome find there sir, I’m not a cheap ole farmer but I’ve always rather had open station tractors. There’s a lot of the 1370’s around here in Ohio. But I’ve v never seen a 1570 without a cab. I actually have the only 2-135 White that I’ve ever seen without a cab
I had an open station 2-85 a couple years back.
Got to love them old man tractors not many bare back case 70 series inj.pumps all leak 🤔 nice case
I think you’re right. My 970 leaks too.
That cab without the side awnings/canope would have looked quite normal.
Maybe
Cool looking tractor! Wasn't very many of the cases around here.... but i live 25 miles from Waterloo john deere facility.... lol
There were a couple excellent case dealers around here back in the day.
Thats one 1973 it has the david brown decal. Last year for the yellow cabs
About the best way to have one.
I like the cab, snatch that headliner out .
To late
Hell its got chilly wind
Sort of chilly wind.
Their are a fair share of them here in wi without cabs but way more without! Now without a cab the dash, seat can get ruined sitting out!
I try to keep my cabless tractors indoors for that reason.
Its possible the Case dealer offered aftermarket cabs as a short line product. Yep,early cabs were not as insulated and vibration isolated as they are today. On Fords you kept a screwdriver in the cab because screws would back out.AL B.
Yes most dealers offered a cab. Still don’t have a clue what brand.
On them case the handles right but should be another one where the cab is probably had to take it off for the cab to go on
Yep already got two of them here from Elmer’s Repair in Centralia, KS.
Hinson cab maybe or fiber industry
you ever find any single roller cultipackers down there???
Not normally
Almost looked like a Farmall ice cream box cab.
Thankfully wider than than an ice cream box cab
A friend of mine has an open station 1070
I had one I sold a month ago.
I'd nickname it “The Flying Nun”!
A once flying nun
Do not leave a case power shift in reverse on stationary PTO work.
That’s a fact
Hiniker Farm Equipment use to sell cabs
Not like a Hiniker I’ve ever seen.
That's a big tractor for not having a cab!
No kidding
T T I don't think that is an egging cab. I have never seen the duals set that close together. Maybe that tractor run a generator or something. That would explain the murphy switch.
The axles are interestingly short. That’s as wide as the duals can be set. Inside tires are set on 30” centers too. There is no way you could get it set to straddle rows with the duals on.
No way i would take that cab off, its way too cool
I promise you it’s so much more fun and cool without the cab
If I was closer to you I'd buy it it's different lol
What happened to the Oliver 2655?
It’ll get here sometime
30 series cab
Don’t think so.
I am inclined to think it was an aftermarket cab for a 930/1030 that was installed on the 70 series.
1973 was only year with case/David brown decal
Which is cool
Never seen a wrap around porch on a tractor.
Couldn’t afford one for the house.
Western special no 3 point
Don’t those have wider fenders and double lights?
I'm not going to give you hell for taking the cab off it looked kinda weird BUT, I think you should've tried to see if you could jump 10 school buses with it first because it sure looked like it could fly with the cab on. 😂
I’m not sure it could jump 10”.
Why would you remove the cab??? If it's got a cab. I'd leave it... Sorry but the white after series cases have more power than the early David brown cases.. the 1270 DB 128pto hp, the white after series 135pto hp. They push almost as much power as the dB 1370 140ptohp... the white after series 1370 155ptohp..
This one is a late desert sunset. Actually has the higher HP setting. Why wouldn’t I take the cab off. It was big, ugly and absolutely ruined all the value of owning an open station 1370.
@@tmonteIH I think it looks nice.... I'd rather keep it on until you find the original cab... I own a 74 after series white 1270 with duals. Im loving it... I don't recall it's the highest hp 504 on those early series. Here's a big difference between the early DB and the after series white 70 series cases. The 2 oil filters on the older model DB 1270 451bdt, and 1370 504BDT has short filters. The after series whites 1270 451bdt and 1370 and 1570 504bdts have long filters.. that's why in 1974 they remanufactured the 1270 451 and 1370 504s with more pto hp.
I was honestly really hoping you’d leave the cab on. It gave the tractor a lot of character. Besides that it wasn’t that loud and the a/c worked. But that’s just me. Just kinda sucks when a video pops up of a tractor with a unique cab and the first thing that happens is it gets taken off. I understand with this one being a rare bird and all so maybe you can put it on a different open station tractor that’s less rare or sell it to someone that could use it. I personally would love one with the shades like that because I’m more sensitive to the heat. Not to mention how much character it gives.
To be completely honest, the cab is what made me click on the video. I think if I read the description beforehand, I would’ve closed it and moved on. I was hoping you’d keep the tractor as is and use it, but that’s just me. I guess you have to do what you have to do when running a business. Hopefully you or someone else can get some good use out of that cab.
I seriously doubt someone would ever show up and give me $100 for that cab. Every time I leave a cab like that on a tractor all people do is complain. Go to take it off and people complain. Good thing is it’s my tractor and I coughed up the catch for it. My call that it comes off.
@@tmonteIH I get you. It’s your tractor and ultimately it’s your decision on what to do with it. You paid for it and you own it and that’s that. To be honest I’d give you $100 for that cab but I live several states away and lack a tractor to put it on. I’m not even sure I have the means to get it aside from paying to have someone ship it. In a perfect world I’d get it and throw it on a 50 series Oliver, get the a/c working, and farm all day with it. But that’s just dreaming. Hopefully I didn’t come off as rude in my initial comment. I wanted to be respectful but also voice my honest opinion on the matter. But I understand the frustration with people complaining regardless of what you do. If anything, you could do a poll on whether to keep one on or remove it. But in this situation you did what you wanted with it and that’s completely fine.
That looks like a cab off a 1010 case combine I had a case combine looks like the same cab it was a 1969
Interesting
Down in your country must never get cold or windy you would never get me to remove any cab
We’ve got plenty of tractors with cabs. Plenty of cold days too.
That's a Year Round cab.
Really? Where would I find proof?
You’ll regret taking that cab off especially if you are doing field work 8 miles from home and it decides to start raining it’s not fun driving a tractor 8 miles back home without a cab on it true me I know I was a farmers kid back in the day I’m 50 years old now
This is more of a Sunday and weekend play tractor than real farming. Have bigger newer stuff for that.
Looks like a 930 cab
How would that fit 70 series fenders?
We had a 770 case with a full vision cab. That’s definitely not a full vision cab.
I’ve had a couple full vision cabs on IH tractors and agree.
Looks like it's wearing a hat.
Big old hat.
You're not helping the tractor by removing the cab. If You're going to sell the tractor there's no reason to remove the cab.
Please explain why
YOU SELL IT FOR 16,500.00
Was that a bid?
