Introduction

J.I. Case SC Row-Crop Tractor

The J.I. Case SC is a row-crop tractor manufactured in Racine, Wisconsin, between 1941 and 1954. Designed for versatility in agricultural field operations, this model served as a staple of the mid-20th-century tractor fleet with 58,991 units produced.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by a 165.1 cubic inch (2.7 L) liquid-cooled, 4-cylinder vertical I-head engine. It operates at a rated speed of 1600 RPM with a compression ratio of 4.8:1, delivering 24 horsepower. The engine was upgraded in 1953 to a larger displacement configuration.

Transmission and Drivetrain

The SC utilizes an unsynchronized gear transmission providing 4 forward speeds and 1 reverse gear. Power is transferred through a mechanical wet disc clutch to the rear wheels, which are driven in a two-wheel drive configuration. Manual steering and disc brakes provide the necessary control for field maneuvers.

Hydraulics and PTO

The rear power take-off (PTO) operates at 540 RPM. While early models featured a standard PTO, 'live' PTO functionality was introduced after 1953, allowing for independent operation. The machine is equipped with the Case Eagle Hitch system, facilitating the connection of various trailing implements.

Dimensions and Operator Station

With a wheelbase of 83.5 inches and a total weight of 4,200 lbs, the SC is built for stability in row-crop applications. The operator station is open, originally featuring a steel pan seat with spring suspension, which was updated after 1952 to a padded seat with torsional rubber suspension for improved ergonomics.

Conclusion

"The J.I. Case SC is a mechanical, straightforward tractor tailored for row-crop work. Its combination of a 24-hp engine, adjustable tread widths, and the Case Eagle Hitch makes it a reliable machine for light to medium agricultural tasks, representing a classic era of American tractor engineering."
