ENGINE DETAIL
The J.I. Case 830 tractor, powered by a 4-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 301 ci, offers notable torque and power delivery at lower RPMs, making it suitable for heavy-duty agricultural tasks. Its oil bath air cleaner contributes to enhanced engine longevity by effectively filtering particulate matter, while the 15:1 compression ratio enhances thermal efficiency but may lead to smoking issues without proper maintenance. The dual-range RPM capability allows for versatile operation, but it requires careful handling of the Case-O-Matic transmission to prevent unnecessary wear.

TRANSMISSION 1
The J.I. Case 830 features a Dual Range gear transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, providing versatility for various tasks, such as plowing or hauling. Its dry disc clutch offers reliable engagement but may require more maintenance over time than a wet clutch system. The oil capacity of 9 quarts for the Eagle Hitch variant is relatively compact, while the 68 quarts for overall system lubrication ensures optimal performance and longevity in demanding operational scenarios.
