This is a 1959 Case 700B Orchard tractor and one of only 143 700Bs that were built in 1958/1959 It is a combination Case/Pounds orchard tractor. According to the Case-IH archives, this tractor was sent to the Pounds Motor Company in Winter Haven, Florida “less seat and seat channel parts, fenders and platform” although it did have the orchard front axle and steering, and had no hydraulics or eagle hitch.
There the Pounds folks added their own fenders and shields. Mr. Pound converted many tractors to orchard tractors and also worked with the JI Case Company on improvements to the Case orchard tractors. I bought the tractor from a private individual in North Carolina in the fall of 2019 and restored it during the Spring of 2020.
