    Case 530 ck questions

    The bull pinion gears are accessible by removing the brake housing and cage, but the repair manual says to only remove one side at a time. Taking both out at the same time will allow the pinion drive inside to drop. I don't know if the 530's upgraded the fasteners to "bolt" the cages to the...

    Here's a link to manuals for the 530 Case CK. Case 530CK - Manuals I found it years ago when I bought a Case 310B, a lot of the info is also the same so found it pretty helpful. The easiest way I found for finding parts for these older machines, is to use the OEM part number. Copy and paste...

    Time to start the garden...

    Ground temps are finally raising here with the air temps getting warmer. For giggles I got my ground thermometer out, and compared to the OSU site 35 or so miles away. I was quite surprised it was 20º warmer than what their site said, and had just been updated within 15 minutes. With the sun on...

    Using a PTO spreader to overseed/seed

    Frost seeding works best for me on pastures. I use a regular seed spreader called "Seed Easy". made for grass seed, up to Cereal Rye sized seed. It holds around 25 lb. of seed. You can do an image search, and I'm sure numerous pictures will show up. It can be used on any tractor with a PTO...

    Here too, but supposed to be sunny tomorrow, through Sunday. It'll be nice to get some sunshine to warm the ground temps. Right now it's bouncing right between 48º and 51º over 24 hrs.

    Time to get the TO35 running...

    Most times I'm puzzled why someone insists on rebuilding a carb, whether the poster, or commenter mentions it. When in reality it may just need a good cleaning, or float readjusted. Only one, an MT John Deere out of the entire 30+ tractors I've collected in the past 40 years needed new throttle...

    I'd try them, if they are starting to show signs of sprouting, you don't have much to lose but some time and effort. If where they were stored was a little cooler this year than in the past, that may be the reason they are sprouting slow.

    Exactly what I was going to mention. We had 310a's with side mount sickle bars we mowed roadsides with, that had a mid-mount pto to drive the mowers.

    Water in transmission

    I use a mix of diesel, ATF, usually a 50/50 mix of the transmission capacity, minus 1 quart. Then add 1 quart of 90% rubbing alcohol. Diesel does have a bit of lubrication properties, and the ATF is a high detergent oil, which will clean things up, while the diesel washes everything to the...

    1972 International Harvestor 140 Air cleaner / Filter replacement

    I don't believe it is possible to remove, pretty sure it's permanantly affixed in there. You need to submerse the whole filter housing in something like a bucket of diesel fuel, or water based degreasers like simple green, purple power, or something similar. I use diesel fuel, but the I can...

    1972 International Harvestor 140 Air cleaner / Filter replacement

    Isn't that an oil bath breather..?? Just remove the cup from the bottom, dump oil clean, refill with the same oil used in the engine. If you're meaning the mesh filter above the cup, remove filter housing, and wash with a solvent of choice, dry and put back on. Unless it is rusted out, cleaning...

    ROPS for old 450 case

    You should be able to, but you'll need the mounting brackets, that need to be welded on too. There are salvage yards for construction equipment, just like cars/trucks/ Ag. tractors. I did a Google search for Case Construction salvage yards, and got a ton of hits...

    Case 530 CK hose list?

    Use the OEM part number, and use Google search engine to find what you want. I believe you'll find most are JIC type fittings. Being in Iowa, if you're around a farming area, or contractors, quarrys, gravel pits etc, you more than likely have a decent hydraulic shop in the area. Stop and ask...

    Case 1150 dozer

    They were a decent tractor, although an odd size. Some friends in the excavating business had one, decent tractor but, too big for some jobs, to small for others. Mainly used it for hogging dirt building small ponds, or moving large amounts of dirt that were too big of a job for their Case 450...

    Too much plow?

    That dirt looks pretty dry, so that plow is going to pull harder. By stalling, I'm assuming you're meaning spinning. Are your tires loaded..?? Because I see no wheel weights, and unless my eyes are deceiving me, the furrow tire looks to be on backwards. That's not helping either.

    Garden-Furrowed rows or plant flat?

    I also plant potatoes in hills, onions too. Potatoes are planted 5' O.C, because of a tractor drawn mechanical planter, and digger, and need that much space between rows. The planter makes a slight furrow, then covers them. Hilling is done with disc hillers once they come through the ground...

    Best "cheap" materials for gravel parking area?

    The only thing I'm really familiar with North of Columbus is in the Carey area for Ag. purposes. 3 quarry's Ag. Lime has 2-3 times the amount of Mg. in it, than found in SE Ohio. Annual Lime Sample Analysis I'm seeing the Upper Sandusky quarry at National is close, yet the Carey Lime is higher...

    Best "cheap" materials for gravel parking area?

    If you're here in Ohio, and you're just parking cars and pickups on it, 6" of #304 limestone (#4's down to bug dust) will do the job. Just be sure to strip all of the topsoil off, down to clay. Depending on how thick the topsoil is, you'll want the top of your compacted material a little higher...

    6 lug Case 530 rim interchange???

    That part number for those wheels is G12160. They were also used on several models, like the Case 310B I had a few years back. I found one nearly whole 310B on tractorHouse salvageparts...

    Farmall H

    If you make, or buy one, use 2, 2-1/2" cylinders. I put 3 pt. on an M I had years ago. I'm thinking it was one of those Saginaw units. They made one that used a single, or double cylinder set up. It was slower raising, but had equal lift on each lift arm, and lifted anything I had on the back. I...

    Farmall A engine confusion.

    The manual calls for 3/4" to 1" deflection between the fan pulley, and crankshaft pulley, pressing in with little effort with your thumb. I normally check it when I do an oil change. A new belt may get slack a little sooner. It doesn't take but a few seconds to check it when doing a walk around...

    Breaking up very hard dirt clods.

    Anyone that operates quipment, had to start and learn somewhere. I learned a lot watching some really good operators, when I was one of the ground crew. A good operator will make it easier for his ground crew, if they make a job a lot easier for them, just doing the little things. I did the same...

    Breaking up very hard dirt clods.

    That looks like a good sized loader. I believe I'd have asked the operator if they could back drag off the pile, or get a few small bucket loads, then back drag with the bucket, breaking it up into more managable sized material you would be able to handle. If you would have offered an extra $10...
