1943 Case Preparing to be Passed On

My dad and I purchased this tractor when I returned from the Army in 1965. It was in a fence row and a rust bucket. Engine was frozen. I brushed the paint on that we had available in the shop. After a complete overhaul, it was used on a brush hog for years and then parked in a shed. I pulled it out two years ago, but health issues delayed restoration until now. Hopefully it will be wearing new paint for the Christmas parade this winter. It is a Case model S, built in 1943, according to the serial number, 16 hp on the drawbar. It will go to my grandsons at some point. My wife thinks its cute.
