YOUR OPINION ABOUT CASE-O-MATIC CLUTCH/TORQUE CONVERTER, PLEASE

Posted by Ken McWilliams on September 05, 2000 at 19:15:04 from (205.188.197.43):

I have a CASE 420B with CASE-O-Matic. I cannot get it to engage smoothly. The larger tractors have a fix in which a tapered flat can be ground on the spool valve to give gradual engagement, in fact it is noted in the IT manuals.

When I try to move, the tractor will lurch. It is either engaged or disengaged.

The flip side of the coin, however, is that you can drive it like an automatic transmission by only braking and a releasing the brake while the torque convertor/clutch remains engaged. It will slip and allow you to stop the tractor with the brakes.

The problem is creeping up to something for hooking up and maybe the ground is soft or going up hill. With an automobile or truck automatic transmission you can power brake it (give gas with right foot & brake with left foot) to align with a trailer ball for example. This tractor has the foot gas and brakes on the same side which makes it difficult.

Anyways, what are your experiences negotiating the CASE-O-MATIC?
