Case 630 case-o-matic

That's one of the misconceptions about the case-o-matic. Everyone thinks there's something wrong with the clutch. That'd be fine but there isn't any clutch in the system. Exept for the direct drive. The case-o-matic is a torque converter drive system. When you let the peddle out you are actually turning on a valve that lets hydraulic oil into the torque converter. When you throttle up it builds more pressure in the converter and moves the tractor. After you get it moving you pull the direct drive lever which locks up a clutch pack and puts the transmission in direct drive. If you do get this tractor you had better get a operators manual so you understand how the case-o-matic works.

You better go back and do your homework,

case-o-matic has two clutches , and one is

controlled by the clutch pedal. the other is

the converter lockup , controlled with the

lever on the dash.The lockup clutch is in the

front of the converter and is a single fiber

disc . the main clutch is a miltiple disc

metal clutch behind the torque converter . The

oil film between the clutch plates and discs

is the cause of grinding when shifting gears.
