This 1940s promotional film produced by J.I. Case explains construction and performance characteristics of tractors and advertises the new VA Series Case tractor. Scenes show Case VA series tractors with hydraulic control and Eagle hitch. The color film begins with a scene of a male and female farmhand caring for several brown-and-white spotted cows in a field (0:48), as a voiceover explains how, similarly to heifers, tractors can also be judged based on different characteristics. A red Case VA Series tractor is shown while the two farmhands stand in front of it (1:20), followed by a closeup of a red and white Case sign with bald eagle logo (1:30). J.I. Case was an agricultural machinery and construction company founded in 1842 in Wisconsin, and was one of the U.S.’s largest producers of tractors and U.S. military equipment. Case introduced the VA Series tractor in 1942. Internal parts and machinery of a Case VA tractor are shown (2:02). Scenes of a man riding the tractor in a field using various plowing equipment, including a moldboard plow, disc plow, spike tooth harrow, drag harrow, disc harrow, and roller packing, are shown (2:39). The VA series tractor is shown hauling manure, hauling brush, wind rolling grain, and pulling and driving a combine. The video explains that the VA Series Case tractor’s power has adaptability at 6 key points: 1) Quick coupling to mounted implements, 2) Front masterframe, 3) Hydraulic controls, 4) Right-hand belt pulley, 5) Central power take-off, 6) Adjustable drawbar. A closeup of an Eagle hitch coupling to a tractor (3:45). A man drops the draft arms on the Case tractor to hitch the tractor to a plow using hydraulic control arms (4:11). A man drives the Case tractor using a disc plow, then shovels, then 22-inch sweeps to cultivate a field (5:18). Wheel spacing configurations of the Case tractor are shown, from 48 to 80 inches apart (5:57). A farmer plants beans, corn, and sugar beets, opens irrigation furrows, and applies fertilizer using a Case VA Tractor (6:26). A farmer is shown adjusting the front masterframe on a Case tractor (7:04) and using a middle buster blade (7:21). A closeup of the hydraulic controls and gear pump are shown (8:27). The hydraulic controls allow the tractor to raise and lower different plowing implements, in compliance with specifications from the American Society of Agricultural Engineers and the Farm Equipment Institute. A farmer is shown putting a belt on the tractor pulley (10:17). The power take-off of the tractor is shown as a farmer pulls equipment with a combine hookup (11:20). A voiceover explains the benefits of the adjustable drawbar as a farmer maneuvers the tractor around tight turns and pulls a rotary hole (12:57). The film reviews the 6 main power applications listed above (14:02). A farmer pulls brush in a field as the film talks about Case tractor performance and durability (14:35). A closeup of the gear shift is shown (15:19). A man holds a Case performance record evaluation form (16:35). A man drives a Case tractor through an orchard (17:13). The film ends with scenes of the tractor being used in various settings, including in front of the E.H. Farm Machinery Company, possibly located in Billings, Montana (17:57).
The standard tread Case VA series replaced the V series in 1942. Also manufactured was the VAC model, which was a tricycle row-crop variant, and an industrial model called the VAI. Other variants included the VAO orchard model, the VAIW warehouse model, the VAH high-clearance row-crop model and finally, the VAS was the offset high-clearance row-crop model. Electric starters were optional on all these units. The VAs were produced from 1942 to 1955, with the early models powered by Continental engines. The VAs were the first Case tractors to use the Eagle Hitch, introduced in 1949.

That does it! The next time I buy a Tractor, it’ll be a 1940s model from Case!
Ebay.
New old stock.
I'm still using my grampa's 1952 VAC. Converted it to 12 volts a few years back. 70 years and still ticking!
I have the 53 yr model and still working it , she ain't pretty she is a working model
these machines once fed the world!
Still have my grandpa's 48 vac. Runs like a top
I helped my grandfather in the late 1950's and early 60's. He had a Case 1951 model that looked identical to this. He used the belt wheel to run a hammer mill, the PTO for a hay baler. Brought back memories
I bet that baler worked that tractor to death! Lol
@@mfranzusan3014 All I remember is the bales came out faster than I could handle them. He had a wagon on the back of the baler and the bales went up a chute for me to stack.
@@woodwaker1 that's impressive! Do you remember what make or model the baler was?
@@mfranzusan3014 It was also a Case, used twine and did rectangular bales. Was a good system, the only problem was the knot tying would need adjustments. Straw bales were pretty light, but hay could be really heavy for a scrawny kid.
@@woodwaker1 did it run off the PTO? Or was it powered by an engine?
This film 📽️ makes a good "case" for JI Case tractors
The VAC was always one of my favorites. In a few places they were making an obvious poke at Ford.
