Simple, very durable, easy to work on tractor based on the 1955 Case 400 design. I think there were three generations of 730s: low tin like the 700 and 800 with the proprietary Eagle Hitch and rear mount; high tin, and Comfort King with a real 3 point hitch, higher operators platform and front mount. All had 8 speed transmission, power assist steering, non-power disk brakes and 1200 to 1500 PSI hydraulics with its own hydraulic sump. Ergonomics and comfort were fair, narrow front was very maneuverable, wide front less so more like the 1950s. They were very advanced for the 1950s, middle of the pack in the early to mid 1960s and long in the tooth by the time they were replaced by the 70 series in 1969. Farmall 460 and 560 would be very comparable.
Case-O-Matic transmission substituted a lockable torque converter in place of the normal clutch (called Dual-Range). Case-O-Matic drive was much like driving a forklift, Direct drive locked up the torque converter more like driving a normal tractor. People either love Case-O-Matic drive or hate it, so drive it to see if you like it. Avoid prolonged heavy pulling in Case-O-Matic drive as the torque converter converted a lot of power into heat under high loads. Early models had a single shifter with a dual H pattern like Oliver tractors of the same time used. Later models moved the range shifter to the dashboard.
