Dad had next to the last bid on a 930 CK diesel, wfe, rear mounted fuel tank on Saturday December 7th 1968. Think the tractor was a '64 vintage. Guy farmed across the road from my cousin. Tractor was very well kept. Following Saturday Dad had the last bid on a '63 4010-D wfe that already had the 4020 kit in the engine. Dad bought the 4-row frt mounted cultivator too but somebody else wanted the Roll-O-Matic NFE worse than Dad did. WHAT A MONEY PIT. I drove it 30 miles home that afternoon. Was getting close to dark before I got home, lights didn't work so I stayed on back roads. Tractor sat at home for 3-4 weeks when Dad drove it to his favorite Deere dealer 20 miles away for a tune-up. Made it five miles and blew a front tire, had to get two new 11L-15's mounted to complete the trip. Mechanic never dyno'd the tractor or he would have found out how weak it was. It was only making 65-70 HP! I was pulling the same implements as our stock 450 gas was about 1/2 mph faster. Before it went to the field spring of '69 it was repainted and had new rear tires mounted too. And over the next four years every spare Dollar went to keeping that green thing running. Even got a complete major rebuild December of '71 to stop burning 4-5 quarts of oil per tank of fuel. It had a new engine & PTO clutch when it was sold August of '72. But the repairs weren't over. Kid that bought it put an M&W turbo on it and less than a year after he bought it came over one Sunday afternoon to get Dad to pay for a transmission/rear end rebuild. Guess he didn't understand "Where is/As Is, no warranty" He bought it right out of the repair shop from getting the new clutch! He had them install the turbo before he took it home.
I sometimes wonder how much different things would have been if that 930 Case had come home with us that day. It would have played with our 4-bottom Case plow & 12 ft disk. We probably could have used the PTO on it that we only sparingly used on the 4010. That stupid bolt on stub shaft would not stay tight.
