Case 488

[streetfighter1969]

Has anyone worked on these machines - this model is hard to find info on. It works away fine on the plot i am clearing and i am slowly fixing anything that is wrong with the machine - mainly the wiring which has nearly all been disconected for some reason. First job was to get the alternator going again which i have and soon i'll put it back in and wire it up to charge the 24v system , this will help (i have a solar charger at the moment 12v disconnect batteries and next day reconnect). Any good info would be good.

I have a feeling that the 488 was a Case badged Furukawa .. i can remember hearing something along those lines years ago ... i could be wrong
