Hugh that is ol "Casey" and dad has owned that tractor since about 1971. It was lo houred and like new when he bought it as a second big tractor to take some of the load off the 1256 back in those days. It was half the price of a new 856 (what I really wanted instead) so that is how we wound up with the off color tractor. It did not turn out to be such a bargain, though. A year or two after dad got it, the rear end went out and cost as much as the purchase price of the tractor to fix it. In the mid eighties, it spun a rod bearing and the crank had to be turned. We could have had that new 856 for what was spent on that tractor over the years, but live and learn, I guess. That ol 1030 has been around longer now than any other tractor on the farm and is kind of like a family member. Or at least, one you don't really want to admit to being related to.
