Case LA Clutch

Welcome Guest, Log in or Register

Howdy all:

Over the weekend I have acquired a 1941 Case LA. I bought it at auction, not knowing anything about
a Case. Now that I have it home and have had a
chance to check things over, I find that I need
some advise.

First- the brakes do not work because there is no
brake linings left on the band. In addition, the
belt pulley brake also has no linings left. Can
you tell me if there is someone out there that I
can order these from, or must I have them custom
fit at the local friction material shop in town?

Second- The oil bath clutch in this unit is very
difficult to work. The hand clutch lever linkage
by the seat is very loose and wobbles excessively.
(There is no bushing in the lever body, as well as
the shaft it pivots around. Both are well worn.)
In addition, the linkage hole for the linkage
shaft on the other end is wollered out. The
linkage shaft flexes greatly whenever I try and
engage the clutch. (About a 6-inch flex and may
just be fatigued from years of use?)

Question- Should I be able to engage the clutch
with just my hand at the clutch housing end of
things? (I can do it with a help of a monkey
wrench on the lever for leverage, but not
without.) I am trying to figure out if all the
pivot point wear and shaft linkage flex is the
problem, or if there is something internal with
the clutch that is out of whack.
(The clutch works just fine, no slipping, noise,
etc when it does get engaged.

Third- I see what looks to be an oil hole in the
clutch shaft that the throw out bearing covers
when the clutch is engaged. Should I see oil being
pumped out through that hole, or is the splash
supposed to take care of all lubrication for the
throw out bearing? (It looks dry and I see no hint
of lubrication coming from it)

Fourth-I see a little pin on the clutch plate that
I can pull out with just my fingers and then it
will snap back into place when I let go. (With the
motor off, of course) What in the world is that
for, and what does it do?

Thanks for listening to my troubles, Any help,
advise or information will be greatly appreciated! Brad A (ore)

If you still feel that the clutch is too difficult after the linkage etc. is repaired , it is possible, on a high time engine, that the cone that pulls through the little dogs is worn Also some of these seem to have more "over center" than others. I remember my Dad grinding one of these on a lathe to reshape it. It made the clutch work much nicer.
