She sounds good! I have a 1916 12-25 I look after at the Manitoba Agricultural Museum. These are fantastic old girls! I'm excited to see the original decal on the side panel- I didn't realize there was one there (mind you I'm missing those panels on mine)

They plowed with one last year (2009) at the Rushville, IN show, very impressive.

Cletrac, thank you for the compliment. We are quite proud of the great piece of history we have here. We are focusing on the originality so much that we dont run the engine on the governor unless plowing. Otherwise the engine runs to fast and it is starting to shake apart the original seams at the base of the radiator.

Matt, do you know the serial number of this tractor by any chance?

[Cletrac]

That tractor is awesome! There can't another nicer one in existence.

Great tractor! I have a gasoline version 12-25 from 1916! :)

Pretty cool tractor. I just uploaded a vid to my channel of a old Case tractor setup that was at the Racine County Fair this year.
