Nice job on the "400" great tractor must be a 730 or 830 motor because of oil filter and manifolds 30 series oil filter absolutely will not work on 400 thru 800 block been there tried that. 30 series oil filter is full flow and when bolted to 100 series block oil flow does not go to main oil galley I learned the hard way. 830 motor would sure make a " SUPER" 400

As a collector and Case owner, A 400 SUPER is limited and select group of 400 Diesel�s built by J.I. Case in late 1957 (serial number 8106131 and later). I do not believe a group of part bolted together to make horsepower should carry the unique 400 Super labels. It dilates the value or the �REAL� super�s, and for me, erodes the reason to collect low production tractors.

What about the other way around? I"ve seen an 800 oil filter unit on a 730 gas engine (not mine)

Is that a 730 or an 830 engine you have in there? Noticed oil filter is prone.

NIce paint. can you guys paint mine too? I like the comfort king step adaptor. May do that on my eagle-hitch 730. I see you used a 30 series oil filter too.

I liked the SUPER decals so I used them. Actually a 56 regular with an orchard 730 2 speed shifter that explains the long 2 speed gear shifter. Also has a 830 seat.

Nice looking tractor. Some day I'll have to learn how to paint so I can do mine.

Did you put the coil spring under the seat? I've got an old coil spring from a car I'm going to try putting under the metal seat in my 400. My back can't take it any more.

My dad did the painting. Yes I did install the coil spring. It is too stiff but better than nothing. I have found some for my dad that were better. I always looking for a good spring.

Nice looking 400. But I have a few questions. My diesel 400 does not have the exhaust that high in the hood? Does yours have different manifold on it or a different series engine? And where did you get your shift lever it looks long enough not to pinch your fingers when going to 6th gear. Looks good

Very nice, however, are you certain it is a "SUPER" ??
It appears to be missing several parts, which make a SUPER.
1st. It doesn�t have the correct frontal �A� frame cultivator support.
2nd.. It doesn�t have the correct PTO (locking) clutch lever.
3rd. It doesn�t have the correct steering column with the cast "boss�
Correct me if I am wrong��
