neukm 7 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Came across this while browsing bigiron and thought I'd post it on the chance someone knows of a use for it rather than scrap. Not affiliated with the sale of it in any way. https://www.bigiron.com/Lots/CaseIH74884WDTractorFrontEnd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your not kidding really the hinging is the big sticking point. To be honest. If there's a way. It would be cool to put a Magnum back end on it. A Super 70 series powershift. That would be cool to see. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They had everything else down there when I was there 15 years ago or so. Still boggles my mind when I think about how much odd stuff they had around there at that time. Truly amazing.

Gearclash 845 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Is there some particular reason that the rear part of the hinge has to be cast? Anybody have a picture of that rear hinge? I got to thinking it may be possible to make it as a steel weldment, have the raw weldment normalized for better strength and to prevent residual stress cracks from the welding, then do whatever machining that would be required.

It would most definitely be able to be made from plates welded together and machined to work. It would be time consuming to figure it out but then it would be fairly easy to make 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The vast majority of that stuff is long since gone. I never got to see any of this, and I have no idea where it went. I don't know if Bill & Mike retained any of that stuff, or have since sold it off? Granted, its been 14(?) years now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DirtBoyz07 1,269 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 There would be a lot to building that hinge point , , gears , shafts , it would take someone with the equipment and a donor tractor for a pattern . Danny 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J-Mech 1,176 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 As of right this moment, isn't the current bid $80?? Here are some pics of the hinge point that would be needed. If someone on here owns this tractor, I took these pics at a show last summer in Rantoul, Il. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TractormanMike.mb 886 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 So by looking at the above pictures the hinge on the super 70s isn't a transfer case like on the 30 and 60 series? Does anybody know the story on this.front half? What happened to the rest of the tractor? Of the few super 70s built how many are accounted for today? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrfred54 199 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 The add is misleading.. It's not a case IH. It should be INTERNATIONAL 7488, correct?? I wonder the same thing, what happened to the rest of the tractor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Correct. The 5x88 series was a whole new transmission. If you got a FWA the front driveshaft came out the front of the transmission like normal. The super 70's ran the front axle from the same spot. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

More than likely this was salvaged by a test facility, or possibly a dealer or even a large farm. Remember that the Cade boys had all the Super 70's scrapped that were in the middle of production, along with finished undelivered ones. If someone found out what iron yard was dismantling them, I'm sure pieces could be bought. But my bet is this one is from a test tractor that was disassembled for inspection. The way that the Case boys had things cut up and destroyed is what really upset me, and a lot of other people. Such disdain and disrespect for the brand... but so happy to relable the engineering masterpiece tractor, the Magnum, as their own. 3 hours ago, TractormanMike.mb said: Of the few super 70s built how many are accounted for today? As far as I know, all of the ones sold are still accounted for. Going off memory, I believe it was 34 in all. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
