1961 Case 730

[Dave Ohrt]

I accidently put this in the test forum site so will try to post this here.
I just got done with my 730 project. It is a 1961 Dual Range that my Grandfather bought new. It has been in the family all this time. I figured the restoration was deserving for all the service this tractor gave to the family. I am going to try and post some pictures. Hope you enjoy them. Two are in work clothes and the others are dressed for the prom. I really enjoy this site and there are some very knowledgeable people on here. Special thanks to Don Livingston and John Salini (sp). These are great guys to work with and really help you out. I farm with Deere"s now but love the old Cases I was raised on, especially the 30"s and 70"s series. I have a 1953 DC that I hope to get restored this next winter. It has also been a family member for 50 years. I can"t wait for a tractor ride or show so I can show off my 730. Thanks for a great site.
