My Case 300 series 311 was purchased by my grandfather in 1957. It was used on his farm for everything from tobacco, corn, hay, logging, and everything in between. It was a real work horse. I actually learned to drive on this tractor and when my grandfather passed away, it was given to my Dad. My Dad continued to use it, but it was getting to look a little “old.” I asked Dad if he would let me have the tractor to restore. He agreed and I had it restored a few years ago.
My Dad was amazed and said it looked just like he remembered when my grandfather brought it to the farm. My plans are to keep this tractor and one day pass it on to my son so it can continue to be enjoyed.

Was the grill intact on yours? mine is cracked 🙁

I have a restored 1957 311. “Cassie” is still in use. The grill is the original aluminum in perfect condition. My research shows that this grill was damaged on many units. My suggestion is to either find a replacement or get an excellent machinist to repair it.

My husband has a 1957 300 Case. It runs for awhile then quits. It’s all there , but not lovely to look at.☺ I would like to know what sort of price range these have, or how/where to look. No Blue Book for tractors? Thanks!
