I just posted 4 pictures in the "Tractor Photo"s" of my Dads 930"s hooked up in tandem. We got the neighbors together for a field trial. The tractor in the distance is a 1375. I stated that the chisel was a15 footer, but after looking at the photo closer I think it"s the neighbors chisel, because it looks bigger than our 15 foot. Also you might have noticed that their is no seat on the back tractor... it"s not because he didn"t want anyone to ride back there, Dad stacked bags of seed corn for extra weight. The duals were also filled with fluid.

How do you shift gears on the second unit? Is there linkage to the back clutch? I've seen several pictures of units together and was just curious on gear selection, clutching and braking.

The rear tractor clutch and throttle were actuated by an ultra heavy duty cable system. The cable runs from a second clutch petal fabricated and mounted right next to the front 9's clutch. The cable runs back to a lever positioned just behind the left side grill screen, (see picture) the lever then actuates a rod that runs back and bolts to the clutch petal. The rear clutch petal also had a mechanism to hold the petal down for changing gears on the rear tractor. Dad said it took a pretty good leg to stomp on both clutches at the same time. The throttle cable was not quite as heavy. The cable ran straight back and was mounted to the foot feed, so when the cable was pulled it would pull the foot feed petal down. He left the hand throttle in the �off� position so if need be he could push the cable all the way in and shut the rear tractor down.
I don�t remember what gear he would run in, but my guess is 3rd or 4th, I�ll have to ask him. The braking was dependent on the front 9's and/or dropping whatever piece of equipment being used �In the Ground�. The only big problem he had was when turning corners you had to throttle down the rear tractor or it would jack-knife the whole rig, like right now. The other learning experience came when he was going through a gate on an uphill climb and in a gear too high for the speed he was going, the front tractor �killed� and when it killed, it killed the back tractor and either the front or the rear started burning oil out of the air cleaner and the engine started running backwards which took him back down the hill at a rapid descent. See above paragraph on clutch engagement and braking. He�s pretty lucky that he didn�t pile the whole thing up in the creek bottom. Sorry for the long post I think I started rambling.

I noticed in the photos you said the location was near dodgeville mineral point. Just wonderin how long you all farmed in that area with a rig like that. I am south of point about 12 miles. My wife works at dodgeville. I am always curious about case rigs like that in my area.
Thanks
Bob

Our Farm was located on county rd B in the Bloomfield area southwest of Dodgeville and northwest of Point over towards Linden. It was a seven generation farm homesteaded in 1845. My dad quite the farm in the mid eighty�s and we all moved to Oklahoma. The �home� farm is now owned by my uncle, he leases the ground to a neighbor. The �other� farm is located just outside of Linden on Sunnyslope Rd. My grandmother and sister own it and it�s all in CRP. Dad used the 930 setup for about 4 years from 1974 to 1978 when the unit was replaced by a new 1570 in the fall of 78. The front tractor spun a rod bearing and dropped a piston, it went to the sale and we replaced it with a 1070. The rear tractor was sold at the farm auction and as far as I know is still running today. After the farm was sold to my uncle all of the material used to mate the two tractors was scrapped.
