Growing up on the farm , we had two 830 CK gas and neighbor had 930 and 1030 CK,s diesel so I am familiar with them and loved them. Question I have is about the 70/75 series that followed. These are wide open questions and I'm sure if I took the time to search all the archives I might get the answers. I am after any inherent weeknesses and why , the strong points and why and the best way to determine whether a particular model does in fact suffer from those weeknesses. Being it's still winter in lot of locations , I'm sure there are quite a few responders on here yet. My e-mail is open , also , so if you don't wish to publically respond that will work also. There used to be a Case dealer in town and sold a lot of tractors back in the '60,s and 70,s. A few of them are still around and some comming up for sale and a lot are original owners. I'm sure you get my drift by now. I'm into JD as far as the antiques but the 60,s/70,s 2wd,s it is Case , Oliver and JD not nessessarily in order.970-1070-1170 and "5,s" and definately the 1370 are of interest. Our 830,s were bullet proof and for only having abt 70 hp pulled 4/16,s as good as a 80hp 4010. Thanks in advance for any and all your opinions. I would like to think I can be a lot more informed buyer for it. Thank you. Randy.
