We'll after reading your replies to my original post (http://www.ytmag.com/cgi-bin/viewit.cgi?bd=case&th=182361) I'd say I'm more confused than anything!! So lets clarify things.
-my ser # indicates it's a 1966 model
-the tractor has a rear fuel tank
-6 speed trans
-square fenders
-cast front wheels
-the trans brake option
-foot clutch only
-no air filter through the hood
So from what I've read can we confirm this is then a "WESTERN SPECIAL"? I was always under the understanding that if it was a "ws" the model would have been 932ck and not 930? I've also heard that the "ws" had a different wheelbase and that the rear fenders were different. Is this some backwoods "hybrid" of two tractors? Were some "ws"'s sold and not tagged as such. Would pictures help?
I appreciate the help, I've been a longtime lurker on this fourm but never needed to post because often the answer is found just by searching.
Thanks Southside

Now that's a HYBRID! It will only be 2 1/2 inches longer than a 400 rowcrop which is a 4 cylinder, but it will be a 6-cylinder, 8-speed, foot-clutch 900!
