I am looking to purchase a late model Case 730 Diesel Comfort King that I came across in the area. Problem is we have never owned a case. It is an 8 speed, standard tread, 3 pt., dual hyd., about 5200 hours. I was wondering if there was anything to look for specifically on this tractor, its strong points, etc. He said it has 57 HP, but looks like a lot of weight for that. Also said it had dual PTO, but he wasn't sure. The tractor is a GOOD original, runs well, and the price seems right. It would be used to help put up hay, maybe run a round baler. I would hope to put a loader on it at some point.

Any thoughts are well appreciated,
Farmerone

Just on more voice saying that these older Cases were the best. 730 about same as 830 but not Case-o-matic. A lot like the old 400 (not 400B). Case made small changes as they went a long. German Bosch to American Bosch injectors etc. Same basic block and heads, both 4 and 6 cylinder, as some one mentioned. The independent pto makes them a good baler tractor. I have seen the PTO shaft wore on the clutch end if they ran continous PTO, like a field chopper. Not to worry though. 5200 hours is no sweat if they took care of it.

The 730 is an excellant tractor. We had one back when I still helped on the farm. Pulled 4 14's all over o the hills. Baled with the wagon behind the baler without any problems. Do the maintenance and it will last a long time. If the seat is in good condition you will like driving it. As a little sidenote- when my brother traded it in the guy who bought it put it on his chopper and parked his 4010 cause he liked driving the 730 better. Handled the chopper okay.

I own 2 730 ck one gas and one deisel, for their age you cant beat them, Case rated them at 56 horse but I have seen them dyno up to 72 horse with noting done to the engine. Keep the oil changed and clean in the trans and dont run a heavy pto load on this tractor with the range lever in netral, Have it in low or high range, keep the ether away and this tractor will last you a life time.I have never seen a 730 with dual pto, normally only 540 . I own other cases too but my wife likes to drive the 730 deisel the best. Good luck with it Unless the former owner bet it you cant go wrong Bill

That's the same tractor as my 830, only with a slightly smaller engine. It's a good, sound tractor. Just keep the transmission fluid at the proper level.

I bet you have had the bearing to lock up on the two speed shaft

The 730 has a 267 CID motor and has a little over 50 horsepower. That long stroke motor has unbelievable torque. It will have no problem with your baler. That tractor is nearly bullet proof. It's like the Energizer Bunny. It just keeps going and going. If it's a good price, buy it!

It is my understanding that this engine is a White engine, also used in similar vintage Olivers, Minnies, etc. that had the slit head design? If this is true parts availability for the engine should be good. But what about the rest of the tractor? JI Case has been a dead brand for a while now. Do most Case IH stores carry parts?

Thanks,
Farmerone

The Minnie's used the same Lanava power cell engine design, but both companies made their own engines.

NO this is not a White engine, it is Case designed & built, yes other brands used the multiple head design also & as far as parts, there isn't any engine parts I havent been able to get.

Thankyou for the clarification. I take it finding a parts tractor would be a good Idea then. What about other parts? Any availability?

Thanks
Farmerone

I have an 830 & 3 930's here & a lot but not all engine parts will interchange with others, the 930 diesel engine is really a 730 diesel with 2 more cylinders, bearings, sleeves & pistons, heads. I have an 800 combine here that has the 730 gas engine, my 2 930 non-diesels take the same sleeves & pistons as the 730. 830 & 1030 diesels have the same pistons. There are not too many parts that can't be found somewhere, either dealers or salvage if necessary.
