Putting a rear set of remotes on 1973 JD 830?

[SamV]

Group,

Looking at this tractor to buy but it doesn't have rear remotes. How hard would it be to add 1 set?

Thanks in advance.

'73 830 has open-center hyd system so that would limit the number of factory scv's available from tractor salvage yards that can be added to tractor.

Yes and no on the 830 new Generation being open centre .
Near the end of production . There
was a running upgrade to closed centre for 830’s outside of the US .

Thanks for correcting my mistake. Having experience selling new 830 manufactured for sale in N America I forget about tractors manufactured for sale in European countries.

All 830 with 3 cyl engines were built in Germany. Can you post a photo your tractors engine serial # plate or frt hyd

I was really wanting to see the first numbers that aren't legible to my aging eyesight which would reveal engine displacement(152 cid/2.5L or 164cid/2.7L) which would indicate type of hyd system(open or closed)

So looking further into this, Tractor data says this is a 1974, Seller claims a 1975 Does this matter any? I am debating on the purchase because it is very clean and low hours but if it will take thousands of dollars to put the remote on then I will pass.

If this tractor has a 152 cid/2.5L engine then it's a 1974 model according to tractor serial # of 142873.

The SCV quick connectors are readily available in salvage yards .
In this case . Jerry rigging a Harbour Freight open centre control valve is just about permissible .
