my new 830

r aiken · May 9, 2013

I bought this last Saturday at a farm auction for $1100. It sold dead, took a chance, has been seting in a barn over 30 years. I got it going and is all good except the power steering is leaking and the gas tank has a hole in it where someone put in a too long a hood bolt. The rear tires are like new 16.9 X 38.
This tractor feels good like the 64 830, that I used fore over 20 yrars.

Put a good all hyd loader on it and you'll have a first class chore tractor. Nuthin better than a case-o-matic for loader work. That is about perfect size for feed grinding and manure spreader too.

Sure looks good!Seems as if all of the pieces that are usually missing,are there too.

I'd sandblast and paint those front wheels. You will probably gain 5HP. LOL. Looks like a deal to me. That's not the first time I have heard of fuel tank issues from that mistake.

Nice find.

Was the engine stuck?

Nice buy!! I wonder, how much would it set you back to drop a diesel in that 830. I would want my own oil well to put gas in a 60+ HP tractor.None the less, it looks like a nice tractor. Is it a dual range, or Case-O-Matic ?

I have an 841 that had the same gas tank problem.
It was repaired by first cleaning the tank with hot soapie water several times, rinsing with alcohol, and then blowing a shop vac into it until all the gas/alcohol smell was gone. Took about 12 hours.
I then took a 60 degree center and dented the hole inward. Used a piece of brass with a taper that matched the dented area, flat on the top, and that fitted flush with the outside surface of the tank. Tinned the brass plug and the dented area with a copper iron. Put the plug in the hole and heated it with the copper iron until the solder flowed.
The repair is about 10 years old and has not leaked a drop.
Really have to make sure there is no fumes in the tank before soldering. The copper soldering iron is safer than an open flame.
Hope this helps.

Gorgeous tractor! Good on you! I love my old 811B, just can't afford to run it much.
