1960 Case 430
I’ve always liked the color combination of the Case Desert Sunset and Flambeau Red. Growing up on a farm we had a Case 730. A while back I began keeping my eye out for a 30 series tractor to restore. Last winter I found this 1960 430 with a “For Sale” sign sitting along Rt. 460 in Virginia. I started the restoration in November and the completed picture was taken on January 1st of 2015. It would have been finished a little sooner but just as I was beginning to put the sheet metal back on the water pump decided to begin leaking. At least I wasn’t finished putting everything back together! Thanks to Steiner Tractor Parts for their help in providing parts for my restoration.

Is this case for sale, if so how much.
Hi,
Have 1962 430 Case Diesel Tractor and the splines in the clutch plate where the PTO shaft connects to have sheered off. My manual isn’t clear exactly how to get to and replace this part, so I’m hoping someone can advise me on the correct procedure to do this. I’m assuming I’ll need to split the tractor behind the engine and remove the clutch assembly to get to where the PTO shaft splines are, but not sure. Really appreciate any help.
Correct! Split the tractor between the engine and clutch housing/transmission… You will need the diameter of the pressure plate and the spline count and diameter of the PTO shaft to order a new pressure plate.
