1030 Case Restoration

We are nearly finished. Was an interesting project and still need a front end loader for it. Thankful that there are helpful people out there for parts and advice. It makes it much more interesting and fun.

Have had a model 70 Case loader on my 1030 since 1980.

What no pics?

Checked your post. Looks like you may be nearly finished with a project similar to the one I am just beginning. Acquired a '66 1032 ck 6 cyl dsl (3,000 +/- hrs) project. Am in the process of determining extent of work to be done to accomplish that goal.

Have initially, changed all filters and fluids, converted from generator to alternator, completely rewired, replaced gauges and sending units. The tractor runs!

Manuals specify at operating temp and rpm the dsl should produce 40 to 50 psi of oil pressure. At engine speeds ranging from 600 to 1900, am only seeing 25 psi.

Manuals specify at the outlet of the third stage fuel filter there should be 12 to 20 psi of fuel pressure in the low pressure supply of the injector pump. At all engine speeds, am seeing 30 psi plus (pegged) on a mechanical gauge.

Manuals specify 600 rpm at low idle, throttle against the stop. With the throttle against the stop, am seeing 900 +/- rpm.

Have theories and think I understand what is to be done next, but am looking for wisdom and insight from those more experienced in the restoration work of a tractor. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

My sincere thanks and well wishes for Christmas and the coming New Year. Merry Christmas!
