Introduction
J.I. Case 830 Standard-Tread Tractor
The J.I. Case 830 is a standard-tread agricultural tractor manufactured between 1960 and 1969 in Racine, Wisconsin. Belonging to the 800-B series, this two-wheel-drive machine was designed for general farming operations during the mid-20th century.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 301 cubic-inch (4.9 L) four-cylinder diesel engine. This liquid-cooled power unit produces approximately 73 horsepower. It utilizes a 15:1 compression ratio and an oil bath air cleaner system. The engine is designed to operate at a rated speed of 1700 RPM for the Dual-Range transmission or 1900 RPM for the Case-O-Matic version.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 830 model offers two distinct transmission choices to suit different operational needs. The Dual-Range gear transmission features 8 forward and 2 reverse speeds with a dry disc clutch. Alternatively, the Case-O-Matic transmission utilizes a torque converter and a wet disc clutch, providing a smoother power delivery across the same gear range.
Hydraulics and Implements
The hydraulic system is of the open-center type, providing a capacity of 17 gallons (64.3 L) at a pressure of 1550 psi (106.9 bar). For implement attachment, the tractor is equipped with the Case Eagle Hitch (Type II), which incorporates the Draft-o-matic load and depth control system for precise implement management. The independent rear power take-off (PTO) supports both 540 and 1000 RPM speeds.
Dimensions and Handling
With a wheelbase of 82.75 inches and an overall length of 133.75 inches, the tractor provides a stable footprint. It features power-assist steering and mechanical dry disc brakes to aid in maneuverability. Depending on the transmission configuration, the machine weight ranges from approximately 5,694 to 5,837 pounds.
Conclusion
The J.I. Case 830 is a robust, mechanically straightforward tractor suited for a variety of field tasks. Its combination of a reliable diesel engine, multiple transmission options, and standardized hitch system made it a versatile tool for farmers during its decade of production.
