This a transition tractor from Ford to New Holland. both stickers are on the tractor. I believe it is a 1996 or 1997 year model. 90 horsepower, 4 WD, cab and air: Protects me from Africanized Bees. I live in South Texas, only a few miles from where the first death from a bee attack occurred in late 1980's. The dream tractor, except i have transmission problems. The service people in may area are clueless and want to go on a Mechanic Safari to find the problem. Of course, I pay the expense of the safari and replacement of parts that may or not be necessary. They said it could cost up to $9000 hard earned dollars. Whoaa boys! This requires a Huddle with the coach. Which Coach and Where is he.
This electro/hydralic transmission, 16x16, made by Fiat and used in Massey, Case and I believe J.D.
I purchased the service manual and parts catalog. There are all types diagnostics in the service manual, but the service people here did not have the book. Brother, i got the bill for the preliminary excursion and was very disappointed.$600 for labor plus $200 for the parts and the transmission still does not work. I pointed out to the service people an old service bulletin about the transmission to replace a gasket on the transmission control valve cover. Sure enough the gasket was blown and one of the selinoid valves was shorted out. the beast still has the same problem.
The transmission does not work in the odd gears in either high and low range. The pto does not work. After reading the 1200 page service manual, it must have something to do with the "c-4 clutch", which is the only clutch of the 4 in the tractor, which the odd gears and pto have in common. I think it is an adjustment problem. by the way, this tractor does not have the traditional clutch as I knew. It has 4 "clutch packs". I guess this what you get when you want a dream tractor
Has anyone had this type of problem? Who knows this transmission South of San Antonio, Texas. I need a repair person that knows this electronic transmission. I am open for suggestions.
