There are two versions of this brochure but interestingly, they both have the same Form No. A16164L.

Anybody want to play Eye Spy with my Little Eye and tell us what's different about the two versions?

Stabilizer chains on the 3-pt hitch arms in lower picture of the top two, and shields over the 3-pt linkage upper arms. Neither show up in the top picture.
 
the 3rd pic, w/o the weights, has a hose (?) looping down, over the draw bar mount and the under the brake assembly on the rt side
 
Chains and shields. You got it. But there's one more subtle and less obvious difference on the top two pics.
 
Rain cap. You got it. On the second set of pics, the Case people added the front weights, wheel weights and rain cap.

I'm still looking for more on the first set of pics. I said three differences on each set of pics but I see now there's actually four on the top set.
 
I noticed that too but I counted that as part of the shield addition.
There's another change that is really obvious once you see it and another not so much.
 
I'll give you guys number three on the top set. A fresh new paint job. Notice the brighter, cleaner color and no more exhaust soot on the top of the hood. There's still one more very obvious mechanical difference. It's actually very obvious.
 
Looks like some Experimental dept lift rods on on the second picture or maybe the artist was playing with the picture.
 
The chains were mentioned a few times. Not the turnbuckles but I considered them as part of the chains.
 
We have a winner for the last clue!
The lift rods are completely different on the two pictures but not very noticeable at first because of the extended platform and shields cover up much of the parts but they are definitely different.
 
You and John A. got the lift arms.
Case really did like to doctor the
photos. They still do it today
and easier than ever in our
digital world. About 10 years
ago, my brother had Case dealer
bring a Case photographer out to
his farm to take photos of his new
combine. He had a MacDon draper
head on it and a Mauer bin
extension. The photos were used
in the next combine brochure that
came out but the bin extensions
were gone and the header turned
into a CaseIH head. There were
also some high line poles and
trees missing from the background.
They gave him a big 16 X 20
picture for his office and you can
look at the exact same photo in
the brochure and see all the
changes.
 
It is not a change of the tractors but the shadows of the steering wheel and seat are different and darker between the first two pictures.
 
Those vertical limit chains and turnbuckles were NEVER used on a 7-830 tractor. There was no place on the platform strong enough to mount the top of them and there were adjustable sway blocks to limit horizontal movement. The picture is bogus, and I bet know one has ever seen one of those tractors that did not have the rockshaft arm covers on them from the factory, either
Interesting pics, but edited and not accurate.
Tom and I discussed these picture extensively this morning.

3rd picture you can see all the bolt heads on the panels around the front, the 4th you cant. Also the 3rd picture appears to have black hand rail an trim on the hood, 4th appears gray or silver.
