Does anyone have plans to make a 3 pt hitch for a Case 930 (1965) tractor?

Thanks guys for your input and info on the 930. My 930, made in '65, is the model with the sand colored square fenders, steering column and deluxe seat. It also has an after market cab. I keep a 9' dozer blade on it for snow clearing during our Saskatchewan winters and grading my road and lanes year round. There is a socket for a bale spike on the top of the blade, but I think the combined weight of the blade and a 1200 lb. bale would be too much for it, particularly on my rolling land.

My reasons for wanting to put a 3 pt. hitch on the back is to take bales to my cows during the feeding season. I have been lassoeing the bales with a cable, slowly tipping them on end then dragging them to where I feed. Works but is not real convenient in cold weather. An acquaintance mentioned to me that he used to have a 930 with a homemade 3 pt. on it that he used to pick his bales. Of course he ho longer has it, didn't make the 3 pt. himself and can't relly remember how it was made. He did say that it wasn't hard to remove or re-install and lifted those bales very easily.

I was hoping someone out there has either made a 3 pt. hitch for a similar purpose or knows of where a plan could be had so I could build one. I'm not entertaining putting a factory built model on a tractor I got a steal of a deal on(I paid a thousand dollars for it!). Any ideas?

Bob, just a thought, but I"ve seen where some guy had a bale spike or 3pt bale carrier mounted to a simple axle with a hitch. The spike would hinge at the axle so after you back into a bale, you would tip the bale back towards the tractor with a simple cable winch. Now your bale is off the ground and you could transport miles if you wanted to.
I would think a hydraulic cylinder would be better for tipping so you would have more control going up and down, but with the cable winch, you could also use any old tractor without hydraulics or pickup or 4-wheeler etc.
The down side is backing up a two wheel trailer.
The up side is you only pull a pin to get rid of it when not in use.

I'm I missing something in your question? I thought all 930's came stock with a Cat-2 3-Point. Mine has a system with auto-draft control, which I thought was also stock. If yours has no 3-point perhaps it was removed for some reason and you could simply replace it with stock parts from most salavge yards.

I think all 600, 900 & 930s were of the Standard configuration (Wheatland) with 6 speed chain drive, wide swinging drawbars and stub axles, until the Row-crop (General Purpose) 8 speed gear drives on bar axles came out in "64 or "65. Only these 8 speed gear drives could be had with a 3 point hitch. Even then it was an option you had to pay extra to get. I"ve seen some without.

There were three different configurations of the 930. The first was called the "long nose" and was basically a suped up 900. Then came the one model you are missing. It is the 930 Comfort King 6 speed. It was mehanically the same as the "long nose", with chain drive and 1929 engineering, but had a redesigned platform with a high seat and rear fuel tank. This was replaced in about 1966 with the 930 Comfort King 8 speed which is really a completely different tractor. It did away with the old cross mount transmission, has bull gear drive, three point, etc. It really should have been given a different model number as almost no parts will interchange.

You are correct sir. I didn"t go into the differences between the first two as I"m not sure if the rear end was any different other than the fuel tank moved to the rear on the Comfort King. Not knowing which model he"s talking about, I didn"t see any need to get too detailed. Actually, if you want to go one farther, there"s a fourth configuration.
#1 suped up 900 long nose
#2 early comfort king 6 speed with round fenders, round steering column and small seat.
#3 mid production comfort king 6 speed with sand colored square fenders, sand colored square steering column and the new deluxe seat with back and arm rests.
#4 later comfort kings with the 8 speed all gear drive.
To confuse every one more, #3 was refered to as a Comfort King Special and #4 was refered to as a Comfort King Row-Crop, because for a year or so, they were both being produced at the same time. Not until 1966 did Case build a row -crop and a wheatland from the same tractor (the new gear drive 8 speed). They did this by building the special (wheatland) by putting the short, fat tires and large fenders on a row crop with bar axles, and then added a new swept back style front axle everyone is familier with on a wheatland style tractor, only this new axle is also adjustable for width. Now THIS model wheatland is the first Case 930 I know of offered with an optional 3pt. and draft-o-matic.
Case called it "a 2 in 1 tractor for rice, western grain crops, yet quickly adaptable to row work". They also dropped the "row-crop" description on the other style tractor and called it a 930 General Purpose, "a powerhouse for precision row-cropping or heaviest tillage".
I still don"t know what style tractor he has to be able to say if he can add the 3pt from a Case parts tractor, or if he needs to do his own "inventing".

Bob, I forgot to ask. What style 930 are you talking about? They made them both ways during that time.

No plans, but we are fitting a Gannon (very strong, but expensive hitch) three point on a 62 930. There are several aftermarket three points available that could be adapted with a welder, torch, and a little imagination. Make sure you get a strong category II type. The two main obstacles are supporting the fenders, as the floor needs to come off, and clearing the PTO. There are plenty of strong bolt points you can use for attaching the actual three point. LOL!
