Not the Outcome I Wanted after Buying this CASE Tractor from Auction

[@bufferbridge]

get another box of Ron Greet, the 1,2,3,4 section is in the front and will just unbolt from the rear section after you take out the pto input shaft, it may be on of the selector arms on top of the gearbox, take out the mat and unbolt the tinwork,will be two selector arms coming out the top 1 for 1st and 2nd the other for 3rd anf 4th, easy tractor to work on, Tell mike, a Cornishman would have that put right in an afternoon

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Haha, maybe. Mikes reply “I didn’t know Cornwall had diesel technology yet, thought they were still on steam power”

[@bufferbridge]

@@finditfixitfarmit won't get too heavily into the devon/Cornwall thing, my mother was a Luscombe from the south hams area. Back to the gearbox, there are only two moving parts to it,you have 4 gears in constant mesh, a sliding synchro to engage 1 or 2 and another sliding synchro to engage 3 or 4, if you take the lid off all will become apparent, very simple and reliable box,never known any issue with them in the 50 years I've run them, doubt there will be any shards in there

[@finditfixitfarmit]

@@bufferbridge thank you mate, really appreciate the insight. We may look into it further, I have a lot of fresh machines coming in so not the top of the list, but may set Mike on it when we are quieter unless it goes to Auction prior. Love a bit of Devon/Cornwall banter 😂😂

[@aala7337]

I used find the low into high gears could be troublesome,lever wouldn’t slide easily into high ,had take covers off and manually line up plates where lever sits.Only fault I had with international tractors with that gearbox,engines were good !

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Don’t write it off too quickly James!! - there’s a good tractor going on there! Well worth spending some time and money on.😊

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Maybe…

[@patrickosullivan4021]

Don't give up on it yet, a check out how much a gearbox is for it, she sounds sweet, be a shame not to try

[@finditfixitfarmit]

I do agree, but the Mikes time will cost me

[@paschalgeraghty4198]

Hi . I’m an Irish man in San Francisco 25 years . Just found your u tube channel . Absolutely love it. . I drove a lot off fords years ago . The blow is fine . Nothing wrong with that tractor . U will know when the are burnt out . The drip oil bad from the blow pipe . . Not sure are u familiar with the fords She can split all the gears . Button.On the dash . Iff u put bigger wheels on the back and 1000 wheels on the front . U wouldn’t know that tractor . Its value will go way way up

[@mikeclark4416]

Never knew the door opened towards rear tyres , Loved the 574s & 674s . A real shame I would have removed the loader ASAP and rebuilt it slowly Its going to cost that and double . Beautiful tractors too .

All yours if you have the readies 😉

even when they were working , they were an unreliable uncomfortable place to spend a day .......on the flip side they were a step up from a horse and cart ....just .....! we had a 674 ...........so I can fully agree with mike ...!

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Haha, best comment lol 😂

[@Jim-McKechnie]

ih were dependable daily yard tractors BUT taking cab n diesel tank off for gearbox explorations and whatever else you find- mate had a 885l on a big quickie loader other than loading stone with the loader our little db’s clocked more hrs biggest problem was there was a big gap between the back of the bucket and the front wheels and just made it clumsy when it came to traction

[@tgsgardenmaintenance4627]

Don't know about Case tractors, but their excavators are excellent in my experience! Used one in a clay quarry years ago, and it was superb!

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Yeah nice diggers for sure 👍🏼

[@tgsgardenmaintenance4627]

After initially driving one built in the 50's, with no door, windows and half the floor missing. It was amazing to get one with all the creature comforts!

[@sethredwood6068]

I have an international tractor maybe worth having a look in the top of the gear box to check everything’s in line because I had mine jump out of gear once and lost a couple gears moved some stuff around and works a treat

[@finditfixitfarmit]

We might yet 👍🏼

[@shaun30-3-mg9zs]

Hi James + Mike, Oh deer a few problems on the Case, a new gear box and a new belt for the alternator, you might have the parts in your stores. Hope you can sort it out, Take care

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Hmmm I’m not convinced yet haha thanks Shaun

[@tomvalentine9985]

Good job mikes got plenty of enthusiasm anyway

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Enthusiasm is his middle name!

[@callumhudson802]

I like an international harvester as my granda has an ih 684. I personally don't like the tractors after case and ih merged.

[@richardleigh1762]

I have to smile at Mike , every new project that he's confronted with he grunts and passes some sarcastic comments as he walks round them and then gets on with the job , what a legend James .

[@finditfixitfarmit]

That sums him up to a tea 😂😂

[@djontey]

Cheers for your honesty! Being from Devon too, never heard of those words🤣

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Best way mate 👍🏼 he is a dictionary of knowledge and useless information 😂

[@anthonykeane154]

The first machine I learnt to drive was the news version of that case brand new one that was in 1988 two wheel as well i was 12 years old then lots of good memories helping my dad he was a stockman on a local farm 😂

[@finditfixitfarmit]

This one is 1993 👍🏼

[@anthonykeane154]

I thought that was the older version I stand corrected😂😂😅

[@oneillagrivideos]

I'd say lift the pannel between your legs and you'll see the gear linkage, may just be wear in the linkage causing it not to engage properly

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Yeah, Mike is pretty sure it’s more than just gear linkage. I may ask him to have a look though haha.

[@strong40]

I grew up with a 784 with a loader. I think that was the series made before this one but very similar. It was a very reliable tractor except the front wheel bearings went out often

[@DJC995]

Hi James & Mike 🤞🤞brake even when you move it on I have a MF 35 industrial that is a bigger project than I was thinking 😒 still in the workshop part done waiting for the time & enthusiasm Thanks again

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Yeah hopefully 😂 enthusiasm is the hardest part 👍🏼

[@jonathantucker7965]

I bought a newholland 8360 a couple of years ago which turned out to be a load of grief. Person selling it said it had around 10k hours on the broken clock but when I lifted the tool box inside it said serviced at just over 20k hours

[@finditfixitfarmit]

It happens in the game unfortunately 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@TheGrimReaper1]

Marty T would sort it out i have no doubt. Unfortunately he is a bit far away (nearly as far away as he could be) in the Marlborough Sounds.

Love magic Mike one liners😂

[@finditfixitfarmit]

If only I could put them all in a video 😂

[@russellpetrie119]

the gearbox is probabley screwed from being a loader tractor and lack of maintenance due to hard sacsess with the loader on it

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Could be 😂

[@davidanderson2145]

Looks like a Cameron Gardener loader. We had them fitted to our local council International tractors

[@finditfixitfarmit]

Could well be 👍🏼
