I rescued a 1948 Case VAO a few days ago from being picked up by a large excavator and dumped into a recycling bin for metal. I know it ran in the late eighties because I saw it running. When its original owner passed away I had assumed that the tractor was sold off because I never saw get after he passed away. The day I rescued that tractor I just happened to see it basically surrounded by maple trees that were being removed at the time. I was able to retrieve the tractor with the permission of the owner. As a bonus, somehow even though the tires were sunken into the dirt past the rims they were still fully inflated.
Good little tractors that are more capable than they appear.

I had 1949 va i bought from my grandfather
I have an 1950, your seat is not original. Never saw an implement style seat on a VA model tractor, base mount is correct.
Pto is not on the side, that is the belt pully!
You are right. But sometimes I refer to any point of work being run off an engine or output being a PTO.
