54,925 Case DC-3 tractors were built from their introduction in 1939 until their discontinuation in 1953. They were available with a choice of either a Case 4.3L 4-cyl gasoline engine or a Case 4.8L 4-cyl propane engine. The 37 HP engine was coupled to a four speed transmission with three working and one road gear. Available drawbar pull is 4,128 lbs, this from a 5,300 lb. tractor.
This tractor has what amounts to a homemade three point hitch mounted on the rear, using the tractor's hydraulics.
