    1962 Case 431 Eagle Hitch Lift Weight Rating

    Thank you for the response! My tractor does have that snowplow at the front which would probably act as somewhat of a counterweight. It sounds like I would probably be fine ordering something cheap with a 1,500 lb weight rating and then using that to move around stuff on pallets. I'm not moving...

    1962 Case 431 Eagle Hitch Lift Weight Rating

    Hey everyone, Just popping in with a quick question. I really want to get something with a set of forks for my case 431 (which has been discussed previously - it's still running great!) as I want to be able to move pallets around easily and in a perfect world, even unload stuff from trailers...

    1962 Case 431 Starting / Fuel Problems

    Final Update! Last Friday night after a lot of work going over the whole fuel system and getting everything back together, I managed to get it running again! At this point, I've already put the tractor back to work on a number of projects. Thought I'd share a video of a start up if anyone would...

    1962 Case 431 Starting / Fuel Problems

    Hey Everyone, I have an update for you and a few more questions. I got my injection pump back from Dieseltech the other day (he did a great job) and I was able to to get it back on the shaft successfully without damaging the umbrella seal (well, the second time. That's what I get for trying to...

    1962 Case 431 Starting / Fuel Problems

    Apparently I just hadn't gone far enough in the stroke. I just found markings with lines that indicate degrees just like the manual suggests! Glad it was that simple.

    1962 Case 431 Starting / Fuel Problems

    So I cleaned the area as well as I could and I noticed that my flywheel doesn't have the lines on it or the letters engraved to show TDC like the manual suggests. I do however see 5 very tiny dots - the dot in the middle appears to be smaller than the other 4. When anywhere near this section of...

    1962 Case 431 Starting / Fuel Problems

    Things have been so busy for the last couple of months that I haven't gotten the chance to work on the tractor until now. I did contact Dieseltech and am planning to have him clean out my pump, thank you. I also ordered a reprint of the manual for my tractor, but I'm struggling to figure out...

    1962 Case 431 Starting / Fuel Problems

    It seems to be leaking fuel out of there at specific points in the cycle of the engine. If I crank it over, it dribbles out kind of in rhythm with the sound of the engine turning over. Once again, absolutely nothing on the high pressure side. I've circled the fitting that fuel was coming out of...

    1962 Case 431 Starting / Fuel Problems

    Thanks everyone for the tips. I have also adjusted the post slightly to make it more obvious that this is a diesel. So I confirmed that the fuel shut-off cable is working as expected with its full travel. No change when moving it by hand to fully open. I couldn't easily get to the high...

    1962 Case 431 Starting / Fuel Problems

    Welllll... of course right after I got done sharing the good news about our previous repairs, now I appear to have some new problems. I had a job that I really needed to get done this evening (even rented an implement) as I have a deadline of Sunday for a very important project, but it doesn't...

    1962 Case 430 Seat Rebuild

    I'm also happy to report that we were able to get the seat springs replaced and BOY! What a difference!!! The crazy job was almost more work than replacing the hydraulic piston seal, but man, it rides like a whole new tractor now, haha. You can see just how much higher it rides than before in...

    1962 Case 430 Leak Questions

    Hey everyone, just wanted to give an update on the tractor. A little while ago, the guy who I got it from (who was very kind to help) and I were able to pull the Eagle Hitch Piston and get the seal repaired. That was indeed the problem. It's a shame that the seal failed only a 6 months after he...

    1962 Case 430 Seat Rebuild

    What's the best way to remove the old pins? I got my new parts in, but none of the pins want to budge at all.

    1962 Case 430 Seat Rebuild

    Hello all, This past week I ordered the parts from Mr. Saeli to fix the hydraulic issues on my Case 430 (he was extremely helpful) and I also went ahead and ordered some new seat bushings and rubber springs since my current ones are completely shot. I'm still waiting for the parts to arrive...
