I have a 730 Case O Matic and I am always reading the forums here. I am not real familar with Case as we always had red tractors growing up. I always see Comfort King in the forums. Is a 730 Case o Matic a comfort king? I guess my question is what is a comfort king. Thanks

1965 was the first year for the comfort king.We had a 1962 830 case-o-matic never had to work on it just used it. Just oil changes, broke rear axle with the mounted picker on real job in the field

The first 730 and 830 had the eagle hitch, the solid lift arms. You mounted the tractors from the back. The comfort kings had the modern 3 point lift arms and have steps on the side, in front of the rear tires, to climb up on the operator platform.

Not all 30 series Case tractors were Comfort King series. I think they came out in 63 or 64. On the contrary to what DJM75 said about the Case-O-Matic transmission, they were a very good transmission, especially in the 730/830 and 800 tractors. Most people who had trouble with them didn"t know how to operate them and didn"t service them. My family has owned 4 tractors with the Case-O-Matic transmission and had absolutely ZERO problems. My grandpa didn"t like any of them because he wouldn"t take the few seconds the tractor needed to get the load moving before he would grab that direct drive lever. Most of the time he would rev up the engine and dump the clutch and pull up the lever all at the same time. Of course this would nearly give him whiplash so he didn"t like it. He never did learn any better - always in a hurry. The Case-O-Matic got a bad rap because it wasn"t idiot-proof. It required just a little common sense. Get the load started with a few RPM, then put it in direct drive. Not all Comfort Kings though.

My Comfort King is a Case-o-matic, I haven"t had any troubles with the automatic transmission. I change the oil every year and will re-place the cleanable filter as I don"t know how long its been on the tractor. I run Murcron-3 for fluid. I run it mostly in Direct,using low for short periods of time. Always have it in direct going down hills,it"ll free wheel if not and may shorten the life of the torque converter. Give John Saeli a hollar he knows them better than I do but I"m learnin". My 2 cents.
