Congrats on the purchases. I don't think I've seen an actual Case disker even though I'm in the heart of what used to be disker country - much of the development of the disker took place locally. Farmers needed something to seed the heavy clay soil without pre-working which drills necessitated. Tilling ahead of drills dried out the clay rapidly in the spring and the crop would be sparse if rain was delayed. I've read a couple accounts of disker development and a small town museum at Rouleau, Saskatchewan has a number of the originals that were made in farm shops and village blacksmith shops. They were the predominant seeding tool in much of prairie provinces until being replaced by air seeders and air drills. I'm one of the few old fossils left that still use diskers for seeding and I can't complain about the crop they grew for me this year. Hard stubble fields are their downfall. In areas with lighter soils farmers often did cultivate once before using the diskers.
That 830 should be a good match for your 15-ft. disker (they are measured by width of nominal cut, not box or frame length).
