I'm looking at a 930 diesel Comfort King. never been around old Cases before. Does anyone know what the lever on the right side of the engine, connected to a bar that goes across the side of the heads does? It's heavy, cast, and back by the drivers side of the engine, flips up and down. Any other tricks or particularities a Farmall guy might be interested in knowing about this tractor? Know it has a hand clutch, six speed... Thankful for anything, Matt.

bought a 930 that had been standing in a paddock for 15 years and after some repairs due to exhaust rusting of it and a few oil seals in the gearbox input shafts it has just plowed 600 acres
excellant old tractor

Matt: It is indeed a compression release. From what the owners man. says it's intention is for emergency stop, and for easier turning over by hand when setting valves etc. This is a very tough tractor, problems I am aware of are exhaust manifolds (I had the hole in our one piece brazed shut and reused the gaskets with ultra copper, no leaks yet, the gaskets were not too ugly and the new ones too expensive for the little use the tractor gets). The later 930 went to a 2 piece exhaust manifold.
Also what is referred to as "walking" heads, where the head shifts a bit and starts leaking oil at the gasket. I'm told new head gaskets will cure this if it's caught in time. Prices for new parts seem all over the place. Here are some examples in CDN $ Steering cylinder seal kit $12
Steering cylinder rubber spacer (cushion) $35 each!!!
Ex.manifold insert and gasket $25 per cylinder. Once you get used to the hand clutch I think you will love this tractor. Have converted ours to single 12V batt. (big) and with the manifold pre-heat have no problem starting, never need ether. Can be a bit tough to shift at times have to spin the clutch a bit to get in gear. Not sure if that's common with this model or if we have a problem...

Tough tractor. The rear end and transmission are bullet proof. Chain drive rear end and it works fine. Moters are good dependable power and easy to rebuild if needed. Steering may not be as nice as some tractors depending on the type of power steering cylinder on it and the brakes leave a bit to be desired but they can be taken apart , cleaned and if kept set up will work. The PTO is set pretty high on the tractor for running implements but you can set the implement tongue height up so the pto is not running at a bad angle. I use mine to run a round baler and pull type swather with no problem. No clutch problems. Lots of them were made so parts are still availble at wrecking yards and most case dealers have most parts yet.

You are looking at an excellent tractor there it is a chain drive 930. I have a 64 930 CK myself on propane. I think this one is a diesel as the lever you are describeing sounds like the compression release for starting it. I have never had a deisel one but I know you open the release and crank her over for maybe 10 to 15 seconds and then let go of it to start it. I think that is the indended procedure. They hyd on these is first class and is live. The clutch runs in the engine oil so it is very tough as well. I hope this helps. R Wyler

The oil bath clutch and chain drive were the best Case ever made. I have a 1966 930 Western Special six speed. and the engine doesn't have the compression release. I think they quit that a few years earler. Most guys that had them never used it. Like most never used the electric glow plug. I took the plug out and put in a hose with a cap on it, that I can open and spray ether when cranking. Has worked great for 30 yrs.

I figured all the powercells had the release. That sounds like an effective setup you rigged up there with the hose. I just pulled the rear houseing off of my 64 930 CK to tighten the chains and it has over 8,000 I am sure as the clock stopped who knows when. Those chains look to be very sound and only will need some tightening I am very impressed with the chain drives those chains and sprockets show no wear seriously and with all the hard pulling hours it has on it that is remarkable. They have to be made of the highest grade materials possible. R Wyler
