Case 930 first start in 14 years?

[@andrewklahold2880]

The 900 has a smaller bore, I rebuilt a 900 and at the time I could not get 900 sleeve and pistons, the bottom counter bore needed to be fixed any way, so we gotten 930 sleeves and pistons cast iron pistons at best, any had the 900 block machined to fit the 930 over size, this 900 will pull ten shank chisel plow

[@brianbabb6666]

Had an old man who run a salvage tell me this one. On a froze up engine poor coca cola in cylinder. Let it sit a few days then it will crank over and push coke out. Coca cola eats the rust away. I have done this on 4 old engines now works well.

First Tractor I ever ran was one just like it. I was 11 yrs. old. Pulled two one-ways tied together. My Dad found a cab that fit it and we put it on. Pretty fancy back then. Great project, wish I was there to help you rebuild. Sure brings back some great memories. Thanks and good luck.

Hey guy just a thought if you wanted to spend the time, lve used JB weld and some black powdered laundry dye mixed in for that steering wheel. Some rubber gloves to push it in and conture the surface might do the trick to clean up those cracks Then sand it off .?

[@Digginok]

Thanks for the tip, not sure if I want to try the restoration on a rare steering wheel myself though. I bet I would screw it up!

[@mrmiscast]

Got the valves to unstick. She's a nice tractor at least to me. A little blowby but that may get cleaner as well... Looking forward to the next update.

[@ericb9345]

Sure cleaned up with some run time! I’d say your thoughts on the exhaustion valves were spot on. That smoke sure looked like low compression not burning all the fuel. I’m always more comfortable buying something that still in its “work clothes” than shined up. I’d be curious about how many hours. She’s pretty clean under that valve cover.

[@1997cr80r]

I'm sure your aware but incase your not the injection pump on that tractor requires its own oil as it's a early 930. At the bottom of the pump you'll see a drain plug on the govenor housing and you'll see a line coming off the bottom making a loop up behind the pump then down to the ground that's the overflow line. My early 830 takes just under a pint of oil (4 cylinder pump) use what ever oil you use in the crank case (15w40) the original working was to slowly add oil until it comes out that overflow line. The round breather cap behind the last injection line on the pump is the oil fill for the pump. Its common to have allot of diesel in the injection pump oil my 830 seems to have a billion hours I change the injection pump oil atleast a few times per engine oil change

Hey, hey, Mr. Cunningham, good to see a video from you sir. Looks to me like a good find, there in that unit. A man/person, whatever don't need to explain or justify a purchase such as this, to anyone (cept maybe in your case, your other half, "she who must be obeyed", hahaha, and I will include myself in this category as well), but that aside, this is a great unit. My first observation was that everything appears to be where it should be, and everything is "there". The only real "mashed up" item are the grille screens... All the sheet metal is in great shape. Great video, look forward to its progression, and more diggin videos. Thank you sir.

I like marvel mystery oil or marvel mystery oil mixed 50/50 with acetone. For straight down the exhaust in an old diesel just MMO that baby. Nothing in the MMO that can hurt anything in the engine. If it passed the rings and ended up in the crank case no problem. When the dried out cylinders are wet with it and it helps lubricate the dry rings perfect. When it burns with the fuel it is gone in smoke! I suggest putting some in the fuel to help lubricate the whole top end on an engine that has not run in a long time! If it does not help it doesn't but it won't destroy anything..

[@Digginok]

I have always liked the smell of mmo, good stuff!

[@timebert6141]

@@Digginok There is something about the smell I like very much. The lubricity of MMO is great in old engines that were designed to actually have lubricants in the fuel. I had issues with sticking valves on a flathead in a pipeline rig. An old timer said to use MMO in the fuel it would solve my problems, it did.

[@timebert6141]

Diesel fuel has changed so much since that tractor was new. 20 years ago if you spilled diesel on the shop floor you had a mess to clean up now you can use diesel fuel to clean up a mess! Take all the oil out of your diet and you will run great for a while, lean right out. Do that for to long and you will dry out have a heart attack and die. We are killing engines by taking the healthy fats out of their fuel! Who else remembers spraying diesel fuel on bare metal to keep it from rusting? In Ohio we sprayed everything. Truck frames, fertilize spreader carts, inside dump truck beds, gate hinges, plows the list goes on ad nauseum
