I figured out after I bought the wrong seat for my tractor that I have a VAO, I have a seat from a VA, is there a metal pan seat that came on these tractors or one with a cushion? And is there a chance of getting the sheet metal to make it back into an orchard model?

Any ideas for an arena groomer that we can use on our Eagle hitch? We are using a parma arena groomer only as a pull behind. If we try to use the Eagle hitch it the implement misses the ground by 5 inches. Any ideas on a different implement or modifications for the current implement? Thanks

I have A Case Tractor for sale. I think The Model is A VA. It Start's very easy but has the air filter missing off the carberator. All the metal is in very good shape. This would be an easy tractor to restore. Also it has a small antifreese leak on the motor. I have the owners manual too. Is $500 dollars too much to ask for this tractor??

I bought a vao at a sale recently and I was wondering what the letters stood for? Also the the plate with the serial number says its a vao but the decals say vac. IS that right or just a mistake by the previous owner? Any help would be appreacited. This is my first case tractor. The rest are either Farmall,Ford,or Massey Harris.
