Fired up my 1969 Case 931 yesterday

Temps have warmed up a bit here in central NY. It got up to about 45F yesterday so I decided to see if the tractor would start. It has had to sit outside all winter. Hit the key and it was firing within 10 sec. without using a manifold heater or ether. Another spin and it was purring like a kitten. Last winter I totally rebuilt the tractor. The engine is now 426 cu.in. Originally it was 401cu.in. I also made a lot of mods to the cab and entry steps, plus added a RH door, and fabed up the front fenders, and painted it last spring in my CBS paint booth.
I took it for a ride up to the farm and planned on taking some pics there, but the bat in my camera went dead.

I (and I'm sure many others have been watching your progress. very well done. It will be a great tractor. Jim
 
1/8" over bore on sleeves and pistons. Had to replace all 3 heads as they were cracked, and it had miss matched connecting rods in it. Two rods were 70 series rods and weighed nearly 20 grams more than the originals. Good thing I had an older 1964 doner tractor. Matched and balanced 6 rods and the 3 doner heads were redone at machine shop with all new seats and guides.
I didn't have to touch the inline Bosch pump. All we did was reset the timing back to 31 degrees where it belongs.

Very nice looking tractor and it sure reminds me of the 932 (1969) that I had in the late seventies. Had the big Western special fenders on mine as well as the 10x16 rubber up front. Had the spin on hydraulic filter too. It didn't come with a cab and I bought the best cab available at the time. A Cozy with plenty of sound proofing, 2 doors and sliding rear window. Sure wish I'd kept it.

Dad grew up with Allis Chalmers in southern Nebraska and became a preacher. When I was 5 we moved from Arena North Dakota to Marion South Dakota. One fellow from our church (sorry, forgot his name) had the Case dealership in Marion. I remember him letting me 'drive' one of the big ones on the lot! Not quite enough to make me switch loyalties, but it definitely left an impression on me! Nice tractor!
