Thanks Loren, Brent, roaddevil49 and casenut1. Not used to this forum so hope I'm responding properly. This is definitely a Case tractor, not built in the UK and not a David Brown or Case/IH.

This one must be an early model of the 430 gas based on reference to the operator's manual and the IT service manual; the manual steering appears to be an earlier set up and the little slide lever under the front of the hydraulic pump housing for engaging / disengaging the pump was apparently only fitted to early models.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
