Found this video on the other YT. Pretty interesting.

A sediment bowl can get pretty full before it gives trouble to the flow. One other area that can haunt your drives is the chamber in the carburetor where the gas goes in just below the needle valve seat. A piece of crud can float around and jam up against the hole in the seat and cause what your experiencing. I use a gun barrel type brass brush to scrub the chamber out. What your experiencing is not unusual, I always hope it doesn't happen to me pulling a float of people during a parade.

I finally got some time to work on the gas tank. After pouring in some vinegar along with some stainless steel hardware and shaking it up a bit it loosened some of the rust but I wasn't happy with the results. I went to Menard's and bought some EvapoRust poured it into the tank and used ratchet straps hanging from a beam to act as support hangers so I could rock it back and forth. I couldn't really see inside very well but some of the area I could see looked pretty clean. After emptying the remains and the hardware some of the rust on the bottom was cleaned up but the sides and top are still pretty rusted. Taking it to work in the morning and I'll pressure wash it and probably buy a few more jugs of EvapoRust to about half full. Anyone else had any luck with this stuff?

When preparing rust speckled sheet metal for painting, it's been good to kill/seal the rust in the little pits. Don't know if it stays stable with 10 percent ethanol gasoline. The worst tank I've dealt with had pin holes rusted in the top. Took a number of trys to get them all soldiered up and then used the blue brand of tank sealer with success.

If you want to see inside yore tank, drop a light bulb down in there. If the filler hole is small, a sewing machine light works good.

E85 to clean the tank out but not too run in the engine? Doesn't the ethanol gas wreak havock on older engines? Or does that mostly pertain to small engines? Thanks for the tip, Jon.

the corn syrup cuts the old sticky bad gas,, your correct above when said these do not like corn syrup, they were built to burn 92 and up octane gasoline ,,, he just means to use it to clean the tank

I've been using a small flashlight to see inside the tank. There's a filler tube at the gas cap, the only hole I can see into is for the sending unit. I'll be making another run to Menards to get more EvapoRust and put some bolts in again to scrape the rust off. There's probably no way to split the tank to sandblast it then weld it back together? I know I didn't have the skills to weld.

When I had my metal shop I made several tanks for people’s old cars and tractors. I would cut the top off their old tank and use that on the new tank. What I’m saying is instead of splitting, just cut the top off.

Just acquired this Case 830 from a local auction. My dad used to have an 830 when I was younger but I think it had the clam shell fenders. There were several Case tractors on this auction from a VAC-14 up to a 2470. The prices were like a roller coaster the VAC went for $550, 741 went for $850. A few that were fully restored from a family's estate collection went from a '67 830 $10,500, '66 1030 $7600, '67 930 $6600. This line of Cases all came from another family estate with several 830's including the one I bought. 830 Dual Range gas $1500, 830 gas CK (mine) $4000, 930 DOM $3900, 2 830 COM's $1250 and $3200 respectively, an Agri-King 1070 went for $4000, Agri-King 1270 $7700, 2470 $9200. Another '66 Case CK 830 went for $3100. I'm excited and nervous to have my 830, it' will get used and hoping it's in good running condition.

I'm a geography guy and intersted to know where these estate auctions were located.

Your purchase is a nice looking tractor.

That sounds similar to how I cleaned out my SC tank. I used nuts and bolts with a solution to break up the rust in it. I do have the tank off and will get to cleaning that up. I'm looking at the wiring of the dash. It's quite the conglomeration. A couple wires are for the dash lights, it looks like three bulbs, one of the socket holders is missing. There are covers for the dash lights, correct? Does anyone have a picture of them? The l light down by the brakes has a holder in the pic attached. If anyone has a wiring diagram that would be appreciated too.

It was through Hamilton-Maring auction. The tractors were at their Dexter MN location.

Purchased new dash lights from John Saeli. Going to have to make a few more orders from him and Elmer's Repair.

Thanks for the location info. I live about 1.5 hours from Dexter. Have you been in contact with Don Livingston? He lives in Austin and may have parts you might need.

 

[Wrangler1973]

I haven't contacted Don yet. I had been looking at getting new parts, but I could see if he might have some that are in "gently" used condition..
