Engineers should work in the field before they are allowed to design anything, as far as I'm concerned. By the way, I have a brother-in-law who worked for Freightliner in Portland as an engineer and told him the same thing. This is coming from a 73 year old master mechanic who's been doing this for at least 50 years both in Vietnam and in civilian life. I think you are doing a fantastic job and you are not afraid to work on anything. I am from North Dakota.
Waren. In your mechanical field your the best there is. When you do this for so many yrs. and your customers keep coming back That just means your an excellent mechanic. My Dad used to do this for a living. I used to watch and hand him tools. I started by asking questions. And off I went. Your damn good. Your customers are damn lucky.
I see that the work you do is phenomenal! Myself ive done gas car and light truck repair. I dont know how you keep track of all the clutch parts. you have to have a photographic mind! I like your videos keep up the good work!
Definitely looks heavier built then the John Deere you had a part of a while back... your knowledge is immense to break these things down and reassemble like you do my hats off!
Robert Bradford at least I can check my suction screen easily on my John Deere and even though these brakes look heavier built than Deere’s it still failed BAD
Seriously, I have 100 guys with over 500 soundgard Era tractors with 20k hours and some have over 30k hours. Never been touched. Bullet proof and well designed. All case does is merge with other company's and have basically lost their identity
quit comparing hours when used on a farm 90% of the time it gets fixed is when it fucks up, "maintenance" isnt in the budget lot of times its redirected or renamed at lease payments let you fund us for life while we give you a redesigned model of what didnt work this year next year at lets say 2% for 25 years lmao
When my dad bought the new farm in early 60’s previous owner left a 49 Case that the engine was locked up. Put some diesel fuel in the cylinders and dad instructed me to hand crank it daily. After about a week it broke loose and it was the best tractor. Used it to get the newer Ford 9N started by pulling it. 🥱
Back in the 1970's I worked on a farm that had a Case 970. It spent more time in the workshop being fixed than it spent in the field. It too had the three speed powershift. In Winter it needed a loop of pipe on the spool outlets and left to run for half an hour to heat the transmission oil before it would even move. This was on the coast of Scotland in an arable farm area, not in Alaska. In the end the tractor driver refused to drive the thing because he thought its constant breakdowns reflected badly on him. It was replaced by a Ford 7700, which was a four cylinder giraffe of a thing that lacked engine operating range and low end torque, but kept going for the most part and was easy to maintain and repair when something did go wrong, which was rarely.
I don't know how or why, but I kept thinking it might be the brakes causing the trouble, especially when you couldn't it to roll apart. I must be learning things from you Warren. Good video!
We had one come in our shop with the exact same issues. We found all the brake PTO and clutch disc had come apart. We split and reassembled it seven time before we got everything right. Customer had traded a Jeep Wrangler for it. The engine block was cracked as well. And steering cylinder poured oil as well. Local international dealer ship informed us to knock a hole thru the screen as that's what they did. In the end the customer payed more for that trackor in parts and labor then he could have bought a good used tractor
Been here many times myself. If the suction screen is stopped up with fiberish material, start with the PTO clutches and then the turning brakes as they share the same paper like friction material. If the hydro filters are loaded with a fine sparkly material its generally the powershift clutches. Kinda miss wrenching on these tractors!!
I'd buy a boroscope anyway. It's one of those tools where I'm always surprised at how often if comes in handy and has even saved the day multiple times. Well worth the investment!
Been there on those steel made tractors when they were still called David Brown back in Yorkshire England and then found some in Fort Morgan CO . I ended up changing out the charge pump and something else on the rear ontop of the arms . Another one the long Rod /shaft that's is 4 sided was also broken . Great work you do brother .
I have to agree with your punishment method for design engineers, the only thing omitted is that the vice should be warmed up with a torch before the nuts are secured therein !. I wonder what some people use for brains, maybe their strainer is clogged too. Thanks for sharing your work and experiences
Sir How in hell that you can remember how to put all this back together just amazes me for sure! You are the best, LOL, I hope to see it working after all your work!!!
I did a power shift on a old 1370 case when I was in college. I found out the hard way what happens when the three allen bolts come loose. But it was a great learning experience.
1982 Case 2390, in Australia, cost new $84,000 Aud. I drove it and at about 5000 hours I lost function in the 3 speed power shift. The 4 gears worked. The repair was $20,000. My boss was livid. But he didn't blame me. Everything was fine one minute ,the next there was a pause before the power shift engaged then she wouldn't engage and just stayed in straight 2nd. I've seen other power shifts fail. Massey 4880, John Deere 4840 and Case 9350. Very expensive. I own an International 4586. No power shift, 5 by 2 pressurised Spicer box. Last forever.
Warren, Im enjoying your T-Shirts and glad to give you the business. I just wish you were closer to me here near Twin Falls, Idaho. My John Deere tractors have not needed a lot of repair, but I always dread calling the local dealer. It's almost like having to go to the hospital.
Warren this same thing happened to me on a ford 555 backhoe all brake lining was in the bottom of main final drive case. The problem was that some mental giant put the wrong oil in that wasn’t compounded for wet clutch/brake service that’s what delaminates the friction material bonding agent .
These videos are nothing but awesome! There must be some difficult conversations of it's not worth fixing for these. Some folks are pretty attached to these old girls or can't afford to upgrade.
Warren your fearless with tools brother! Good to see you and Blake working togather! I laughed out loud at your impression of the old man that had little Janie the slave girl in Lonesome Dove LOL! You also do a pretty good Carl Childers LOL!
Hey Warren, I live in the Catskill region of NY, if you are having trouble finding parts for the old Case, try Monroe tractor in upstate NY they are a great bunch of guys.
So you can indeed inspect the suction screen without splitting the tractor. You need to drop the oil, remove the rear pto housing, and remove the RH shift cover. It’s not ideal but it can be inspected and then the rear end flushed out without splitting the tractor. In most cases the suction screen should plug up first if it’s the PTO clutch or the rear wheel brake linings that shred. If it’s the C1 through 4 that dies that material is small enough to make it through the screen to the charge pump filters. If your finding medium to large flakes of a Blake composite material in your charge pump filters then the suction screen is shot, or in some cases guys poke holes in it. And you would need to split in order to replace.
we made a track and two wined up stands so you could put one on engine and one on gear box made it so simple to split tractors it might be something for you to look at thanks john
I repaired a John Deere that had moisture in the oil that delaminated the brake frictions just like those. It wasn't nearly as big as that one. His Deere parts were quite expensive.
Lol ol Daisy girl in the background being the job foreman while your pulling that brake piston assembly! Some tough old iron there bud ! Thanks for sharing take care now!👍
Hi great tractor have spent hours working on these just thing it’s the torq limiter on the flywheel was the weak link a pain to rebuild can give tips take care great vids thanks
Are the brakes held on by springs and released by hydraulic pressure? That filter screen might seem like a poor design but maybe they realized that if the screen plugs, the tractor has to be split to repair it anyway? Of course it's always the most difficult parts to get at that fail.
You cant beat the old stuff, Never had anything as big as that Case on the farm, biggest tractor in my time was a MF188 Multi Power but there’s still loads of them running and there are companies remanufacturing parts for them.
I would check the diff. Lock clutches, pto clutches and the torque limiter clutches. They are all the same material as the brakes. Use to work on those old power shifts all the time. Usual cause wrong hyd oil.
Neighbor had a 2390, one and only time I ran it, I was drivin it back to his barn down the road. I learned real quick you down shift from 3rd to first before hitting the clutch... because it does it for you and threw me into the steering wheel! Last time I ever drove a case!
That style trans don't have a clutch they have a inching pedal when if you tap the clutch it will down shift from 3rd to 2nd and then if you tap it again it will go from 2nd to 1st
Theres a love and hate on these ji cases.. Just brought a case 1270. 2nd powershift was slipping on a hill climb and 3rd powershift slipped but not as bad as 2nd powrshift. There was hytran fluid leaking, pto is on and there's no switch to turn it off... It's at a shop for repairs on the Powershift. Lessons learned. Not every big 50yr old tractor is gonna run perfect with no issues. These case 70 series to 90 series have powershift problems, Depends how hard they beat the crap out of it, and there the third owners and So on.... If you want the cases on the fields with no issues.. Always come up with another 10grand to repair the Powershift and transmission. On the bright side. Once the Powershift and the transmission is fixed. It will run for a long time until it needs repairs. again.
Warren, it's great to see that your Son has stopped Social Distancing and came back to help you. LoL I love to see you and him working together (most of the time he is working to help - right?)
interesting to a: see the issue (clogged screen , metal particles B: find issue causing particle c: solved issue...what is causing it. Now was it the P.T.O. pump or clutch pack falling apart?
They have what's called a torque limiter it's similar to a clutch, bit when you push down on the clutch is actually called an inching pedal, it strokes a modulating valve and diverts the oil, there's no actual clutch
OH Hell no, i would just half to push it off in the river, never would get it back together, glad your son is helping you now.. I rang the bell , See Ya Texas
My ZF transmission looks even better now as they have the complete brake housing and entire final drive in a separate housing which is sealed off from the main transmission, bit of a bummer having to pull the tractor apart to find out brakes worn out but at least you can get at everything to work on it.
Had the same problems with a brand new 2470 on a ranch out in bonanza back in the 70s.dealer tried several times to fix it.they finally got the lawyers out.ill bet that pos is still parked out there with less than 100 hours on it.
I had a 2590 the brakes came apart. Transmission was still ok, but it got junk all in the system. I fought with the shuttle valves in it and everything else. Finally just sold it.
I plan on buying a case 1270. I heard they have transmission issues. I'm a Own IH but not ji case tractors.. Any advice on the case 1270??? Any maintenance to keep an eye on??
Great videos as usual. I assume the tractor has paid for itself many times over. Is the tractor worth the cost of that major repair? Good money after bad?
Warren, was it just a combination of wear from all those clutches over the years that produced all that junk in the filters? I expected to see something more tore up than what you found. Also what are the total labor hours in a job like this?
G'day Warren ,, I really enjoyed this one , nice machine . When i heard the..." GET IN THERE LIKE I TOLD YA". I could only think of the "GET IN THERE N COOK THE POSSUM LIKE I TOLD YA" . You must see some hilarious stufff on your travels.. Cause you crack me up at times . Keep that ranting n bitching comming Warren . Love ya work . MUCH RESPECT from DOWN UNDER
Huw Williams, I’m not a case fan but our niegbor has a 2590 and a 4690 and the 2590 other than the A/C it’s been perfect and the 4690 has had a head gasket and that’s it. They have had them since new and have been very reliable!

I think you are doing a fantastic job and you are not afraid to work on anything. I am from North Dakota.
At least 10 years in field
Warren, you are a God level mechanic. Your knowledge is beyond belief. You never cease to impress me .
Well man you got to understand that he also have acces to documentation, and i'm not trying to reduce him he looks like a good mecanic with experience
Hey Warren,how can a guy see the rest of teardown and then the rebuild ,excellent work sir,thanks
With the work those. Clutches hàve to do and the power they have transfer and hold they are verry small to be doing that type of work.
Can't believe how complex heavy duty clutches are, only changed the ones on my Toyota and that's kids play! Great video again Warren 👍
Waren. In your mechanical field your the best there is. When you do this for so many yrs. and your customers keep coming back That just means your an excellent mechanic. My Dad used to do this for a living. I used to watch and hand him tools. I started by asking questions. And off I went. Your damn good. Your customers are damn lucky.
You're the best mechanic I've seen it yet so far you keep working enjoying your chanel
I see that the work you do is phenomenal! Myself ive done gas car and light truck repair. I dont know how you keep track of all the clutch parts. you have to have a photographic mind! I like your videos keep up the good work!
Definitely looks heavier built then the John Deere you had a part of a while back... your knowledge is immense to break these things down and reassemble like you do my hats off!
Robert Bradford at least I can check my suction screen easily on my John Deere and even though these brakes look heavier built than Deere’s it still failed BAD
Sluffed its lining
You never see those cases ever get over 10,000 hours. They go to the junk yard because they don't train people to fix them.
Seriously, I have 100 guys with over 500 soundgard Era tractors with 20k hours and some have over 30k hours. Never been touched. Bullet proof and well designed. All case does is merge with other company's and have basically lost their identity
quit comparing hours when used on a farm 90% of the time it gets fixed is when it fucks up, "maintenance" isnt in the budget lot of times its redirected or renamed at lease payments let you fund us for life while we give you a redesigned model of what didnt work this year next year at lets say 2% for 25 years lmao
Wow it’s a good thing you video these tear downs. Good reference when they go back together. Thanks for the video Warren! Have a great week.
When my dad bought the new farm in early 60’s previous owner left a 49 Case that the engine was locked up. Put some diesel fuel in the cylinders and dad instructed me to hand crank it daily. After about a week it broke loose and it was the best tractor. Used it to get the newer Ford 9N started by pulling it. 🥱
Warren, that reply you left about it being the first tractor you’ve ever worked on was the funniest thing I’ve heard for weeks 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍
I cant stop watching your videos you are so awsome you work on so many different machines thats awsome keep up those great videos

You’re a genius!! if it was my tractor I’d be a happy camper you’re the one taking care of it
Grandpa once told me “the engineer caught the mechanic in bed with his wife.”
I don't know how or why, but I kept thinking it might be the brakes causing the trouble, especially when you couldn't it to roll apart. I must be learning things from you Warren. Good video!
Nice to see an older tractor!

Always a good feeling knowing the person is going to do the job right
Quality workmanship , am in awe of your skills. Thanks for sharing 🇬🇧
What an awesome type of tractor but a bear to work on, those Ji case tractors are my favourite tractor built so tough keep up the great videos mate
Warren you are a warrior with no fear!! Most mechanics would be screaming while you just march on through the trouble. F ING AHH!!!!
I'd buy a boroscope anyway. It's one of those tools where I'm always surprised at how often if comes in handy and has even saved the day multiple times. Well worth the investment!
Been there on those steel made tractors when they were still called David Brown back in Yorkshire England and then found some in Fort Morgan CO .

Sir How in hell that you can remember how to put all this back together just amazes me for sure! You are the best, LOL, I hope to see it working after all your work!!!
Using the manual sure helps.
keep on your good work helping truckers and heavy equipment operator fixing their equipment without repping them off
FYI on the assembly blue lock tight used and tighten them evenly 1/4 turn at a time evenly to the torque spec or it won’t operate properly
Mans toys , boys leave alone and go play with your lightweight rubbish !!.
Thanks for bringing us along Warren it’s helping kill the boredom !.
I did a power shift on a old 1370 case when I was in college. I found out the hard way what happens when the three allen bolts come loose. But it was a great learning experience.
Love the dogs you really take care of them

seen those old tractors around but never seen the guts of one love it good job so far
Finally got to watch the whole video. Holy shit man... that is a massive job. Take my hat off to you Warren.....
Looking forward to the sequel... great to watch a good old classic getting a good going through. Good job.! 👍
"The engineer who designed this deserves...."
Sooooo funny.I think it was the exact and perfect description given
I really enjoy watching and learning more about the older tractors. I’m a old school guy anyways. I seems like you like working on the older tractors
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills Warren. I've now watched all your videos, they got me through the COVID lockdown.
I could take that apart; not sure about getting it back together though. Guys like you deserve to make good money, I hope you do.
Warren this same thing happened to me on a ford 555 backhoe all brake lining was in the bottom of main final drive case. The problem was that some mental giant put the wrong oil in that wasn’t compounded for wet clutch/brake service that’s what delaminates the friction material bonding agent .
You are so right about a lot of
designers warren
These videos are nothing but awesome! There must be some difficult conversations of it's not worth fixing for these. Some folks are pretty attached to these old girls or can't afford to upgrade.
There's a Champion 720 Grader there in the background too, hope that's the next challenge (the last two Champion repairs were great watching!)
Yes, the truck crane is verrrry impressive !!!
Warren your fearless with tools brother! Good to see you and Blake working togather! I laughed out loud at your impression of the old man that had little Janie the slave girl in Lonesome Dove LOL! You also do a pretty good Carl Childers LOL!
Man, what a job. Wish you were closer to Tennessee Warren!!

we had that problem with a 1370. the problem was the brake linings were seperating from the metal brake disc plates.
we made a track and two wined up stands so you could put one on engine and one on gear box made it so simple to split tractors it might be something for you to look at thanks john
Good thing you made a video on this one cause I think your going to need it when it goes back together.............
Liked the case video like the old girls very good old American tractors are the best.
Don.
I repaired a John Deere that had moisture in the oil that delaminated the brake frictions just like those. It wasn't nearly as big as that one. His Deere parts were quite expensive.
another great video if there is a problem you will find and fix
As usual Warren great to watch a craftsman at work
Warren thanks for the video it a pleasure just watching the both of you.
Blake... always on top of keepin' the lens cleans! (Thumbs up)
Lol ol Daisy girl in the background being the job foreman while your pulling that brake piston assembly! Some tough old iron there bud ! Thanks for sharing take care now!👍
Hi great tractor have spent hours working on these just thing it’s the torq limiter on the flywheel was the weak link a pain to rebuild can give tips take care great vids thanks
If you have time, please explain what each part/clutch packs does. Very honestly this is very very complex for me to understand. thank you sir.
Well Warren looking forward to more videos on this one to see what else you find thank you very much have a good one
Enjoy the videos Warren keep them hydraulic videos coming(when the works there of course)
It’s a pleasure to peak over the shoulder of a master tech
Are the brakes held on by springs and released by hydraulic pressure? That filter screen might seem like a poor design but maybe they realized that if the screen plugs, the tractor has to be split to repair it anyway? Of course it's always the most difficult parts to get at that fail.
You cant beat the old stuff, Never had anything as big as that Case on the farm, biggest tractor in my time was a MF188 Multi Power but there’s still loads of them running and there are companies remanufacturing parts for them.
The David browns were not as reliable as the old massies but the David browns were a thousand times better to drive or work with
I like older Case tractors. Thanks for the video.
Cheers
Good investment. Your big truck.
Not seen many men who work as hard as you.
I would check the diff. Lock clutches, pto clutches and the torque limiter clutches. They are all the same material as the brakes. Use to work on those old power shifts all the time. Usual cause wrong hyd oil.
Neighbor had a 2390, one and only time I ran it, I was drivin it back to his barn down the road. I learned real quick you down shift from 3rd to first before hitting the clutch... because it does it for you and threw me into the steering wheel! Last time I ever drove a case!
That style trans don't have a clutch they have a inching pedal when if you tap the clutch it will down shift from 3rd to 2nd and then if you tap it again it will go from 2nd to 1st
That was pretty darn cool
Never seen one of those tore apart nice job 👍🇺🇸
Theres a love and hate on these ji cases.. Just brought a case 1270. 2nd powershift was slipping on a hill climb and 3rd powershift slipped but not as bad as 2nd powrshift. There was hytran fluid leaking, pto is on and there's no switch to turn it off... It's at a shop for repairs on the Powershift. Lessons learned. Not every big 50yr old tractor is gonna run perfect with no issues. These case 70 series to 90 series have powershift problems, Depends how hard they beat the crap out of it, and there the third owners and So on.... If you want the cases on the fields with no issues.. Always come up with another 10grand to repair the Powershift and transmission. On the bright side. Once the Powershift and the transmission is fixed. It will run for a long time until it needs repairs. again.
Warren, it's great to see that your Son has stopped Social Distancing and came back to help you. LoL I love to see you and him working together (most of the time he is working to help - right?)
interesting to a: see the issue (clogged screen , metal particles B: find issue causing particle c: solved issue...what is causing it. Now was it the P.T.O. pump or clutch pack falling apart?
You don’t mess about at all do you!
They have what's called a torque limiter it's similar to a clutch, bit when you push down on the clutch is actually called an inching pedal, it strokes a modulating valve and diverts the oil, there's no actual clutch
Damn you know ur shit my man ! Awesome comment on the engineer
OH Hell no, i would just half to push it off in the river, never would get it back together, glad your son is helping you now.. I rang the bell , See Ya Texas
Thanks for the double feature.
Ahhhh my favorite tractors a CASE that's not painted that disgusting red.... too bad its 1am and I cant sleep.... fml
My ZF transmission looks even better now as they have the complete brake housing and entire final drive in a separate housing which is sealed off from the main transmission, bit of a bummer having to pull the tractor apart to find out brakes worn out but at least you can get at everything to work on it.
Had the same problems with a brand new 2470 on a ranch out in bonanza back in the 70s.dealer tried several times to fix it.they finally got the lawyers out.ill bet that pos is still parked out there with less than 100 hours on it.
Warren I see you use a red handle plyers on a lot of your jobs. What kind of plyers are those?
You can get at the screen through the pto hole. Pretty easy to do. Thing is, they need to come apart anyway, if it’s stopped up.
I had a 2590 the brakes came apart. Transmission was still ok, but it got junk all in the system. I fought with the shuttle valves in it and everything else. Finally just sold it.
That was quality for ya back in the days.
I plan on buying a case 1270. I heard they have transmission issues. I'm a Own IH but not ji case tractors.. Any advice on the case 1270??? Any maintenance to keep an eye on??
Now that looks like an nightmare. How many hours of labor would be quoted for this job? I say 80 hrs
Clean looking old beast. I’d fix it before I stepped off into an emissions tractor. The service truck continues to pay her way.
i have a case 970 so i enjoy watching this video
Had one growing up, jeez the clutch could get finicky, could get a right hop releasing the clutch.
An oldie but a goodie!
Great videos as usual. I assume the tractor has paid for itself many times over. Is the tractor worth the cost of that major repair? Good money after bad?
hey warren just saw the road grader ... what is going on with it ... keep on the good work buddy
Check out the park lock and see if it is dragging will make a lot of metal and hard to push
I know very little about tractors, but this certainly looks one well built strong tractor
Nice to have a young buck with a strong back for jobs like this even if he does trash gear wrenches. Seems everyone does it at least once
You get all the best jobs
Hey my dad has the same tractor with all the same problems. How much approx in parts is this to fix? How much approx for labor?
Warren, was it just a combination of wear from all those clutches over the years that produced all that junk in the filters? I expected to see something more tore up than what you found. Also what are the total labor hours in a job like this?
G'day Warren ,,
I really enjoyed this one , nice machine .
When i heard the..." GET IN THERE LIKE I TOLD YA".
I could only think of the "GET IN THERE N COOK THE POSSUM LIKE I TOLD YA" .
You must see some hilarious stufff on your travels..
Cause you crack me up at times .
Keep that ranting n bitching comming Warren .
Love ya work .
MUCH RESPECT

Quality Robust Built to last designed by people not by a Computer.
The computer is just a tool. The problem started when design was controled by accountants, not engineers.
Have you actually tried to run a similar Case long term? They were NOT reliable.
Huw Williams, I’m not a case fan but our niegbor has a 2590 and a 4690 and the 2590 other than the A/C it’s been perfect and the 4690 has had a head gasket and that’s it. They have had them since new and have been very reliable!
