Off color? vac case

The rear tires are bigger on a vac than a b or c allis tractor. I've drove both but can't say as to which is better because the vac I drove need a clutch and was easy to kill taking off which gave me a bad taste for em. However they are a simple tractor and I would buy one if I didn't already have 3 small allis tractors

Learned to drive tractor on a VAC Case when I was about 8.  Not a bad small tractor.  Foot throttle was handy.  Once you got really good you could speed shift the square cut gears.....    They did make a mounted  2 bottom plow system and internal hydraulics for it, but no draft control.  Reasonable small tractor. 

I've heard lots of good things about the VAC and VAC-14, including the ones already mentioned. 

I will add an example of repairs:  Both of mine are narrow front end.  Both leak out the bottom of the pedestal.  The Allis I had no choice but to fix as with the lighter lubricants you could top it off one day and it would all be on the garage floor the next.     The Vac takes gear grease.  Yes, it pushes out the bottom, but you can wipe it off, give it a couple squirts and go on.  

It is the perfect tractor for fooling around!  It is easier to get on and off than the Allis, especially for those in the geezer class like myself.  It is my go to  tractor for lots of different things.

I also learned to drive a tractor that was the VAC Case. we used that tractor everyday for spraying, packing corn, running an auger, running a belt drive elevator, pulling wagons, the best little jockey/chore tractor we had at the time. ours was pretty powerful for its size. pulled a lot of hay wagons hooked together and were stacked 11 high. a brother used to coast it down hills on the road to get to the other farms faster. one day he was in 3rd gear and got to going to fast and popped the clutch back out and shattered that gear in the tranny! dad drained that rear end, washed it out and put the plug back in, filled with gear grease, and it was like that the rest of it's life. just missing that one gear. I built a platform on the back, used it to go camping in the forested hills of our area, it carried all the camping supplies. I was also chased by a train on some back woods rail road tracks one day. the rear tires would fit outside the rails and I could move to other fields quicker by going down the tracks than by taking the roads. we did have to wait for the daily train to pass first. it did, and off I went, for some reason there was a 2nd train that day! PffffT! the engineer was laughing his azz off and tooting the horn behind me! I couldn't get off the tracks til I came to a crossing! whew! yeah...that foot throttle was handy!   

had one of those hitches laying around for a long time....never knew what it was from..!

I had one years ago, run and drove good, liked the foot throttle, had the eagle hitch which was good. Now the bad, not a lot of power and the brakes were terrible. A co worker wanted it so I sold it to him

Well the vac got passed me. I though i had appointment to look at it this morning. I had talked to him tuesday about looking at it but apently someone was in front of me. Owell there be another one along.

Lol tell the wife. She dosnt think i need it bc it was mine once, and it worce shape than when i sold it. Wich for me means it need my attention and care to her it means that much less that she mite get for vacation fund lol.

The VA series that SHOULD have a loader, is the VAI... industrial... heavy front axle.  Just so happens I have a VAI frontend and steering... and two parts VACs.  I could build up one good machine from it all, but kinda have my hands full with other projects right now.

Anybody interested?
