Jon, That chopper was built by IH. Their model was a 350? Before Case started marketing it, we got an experimental unit. After it arrived we assembled it, and once we were ready to try it, Two engineers showed up, plus our territory service rep and the branch service manager. The engineers stayed in the" Case Suit" in dad's house, and the local Case people commuted. The first day we hooked it to the 932 up on the farm, and chopped corn most of the day with a 2 row head. The second day we took it to another uncles farm. He had a 830EH with com. Back then we didn't have forage wagons with high sides and roofs. We were on a pretty good hill and the 830 had all it wanted powering the chopper and pulling the wagon. The engineers were impressed how the 830 was able to maintain PTO speed and adjust to the crop and rolling slopes. Dad, I, our teritory rep, and one of the engineers were walking behind the wagon on one of the steeper slopes, and the engineer was telling us how the cutterhead design could produce a consistant cut length, in all conditions. He no more than got those words out of his mouth and a peice of cob about tennis ball size came out of the spout totally cleared the back of the forage wagon, and hit him square in his forehead. I will never forget that moment, and get a laugh every time I think if it.. Jon, as far as your question about PTO speed, the right angle gear box may be reversable as to input and output, but I am not sure. That was a long time ago. Loren

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
