Have you tried a Case dealer?

Below is an exploded view of the differential of your SC directly from the Case/IH site. The only seals shown behind the brakes are in the differential bearing carrier. Through Case/IH, those seals are $27.14 ea. Through Saeli Implement they show a couple of prices. One is $12.70, and another I saw was $14 and change. They (Saeli) also carries the gasket and O-ring for the bearing carrier.

Discs unless worn out, can be cleaned up. An old Case collector showed me how to take a propane torch and "boil" the oil out of them. I chose to hang them on a piece of #9 wire, and held the torch a couple inches from the disc, and go in a circular motion on the surface of the disc. Oil will literally boil out of the disc surface. It takes a while, so be patient. I further cleaned with brake parts cleaner, then buffed with a roloc pad, on my air angle grinder. A medium gasket removing disc works great.

Pretty much the same brake setup on my old 310B I had. It is recommended in the repair manual, to only do one side at a time, or it will let the differential drop in the diff. case.

The 310B had large Phillips head, bevel headed screws to hold the bearing carrier in. I replaced them with a hex type, bevel screw, so as to make reinstallation a lot easier, since they need to be torqued. Even though as I recall it was only like 10-15 inch lbs. No cam out on the screw heads.

Hope this helps..!!

DJ54 is correct. Be careful when you are removing the cover not to loose or damage the shims that are between the cap and housing and the felt washer that goes against the cap.

Thanks Soundguy

You should replace the seal but also while you are in there check the bearings. They are adjustable tapered roller bearings. There is one at the end of the housing and one on the transmission casting. To fix any play in them you will have to add more shims. The hardest part of changing them is getting the rear wheel off as it has some weight to it.

My book says spark plugs used on Model S Tractors are of the 14mm thread size,AC45-Champion J-8, or equivalent. The shank length should be 3/8inch. A gap of 0.025inch should be maintained between the electrodes.

If I remember correctly I am using the Autolite 295 on my Case SC.

so really i should be able to use any of those plugs that i listed? do yuo have another website i could get that seal from it wont let me order anythang and no one will return my calls

 

[Soundguy]

try ytmag.com

i got plenty of vac parts from them.

 

[Birchhatchery]

are copper plug wires ok to use on 6 volt

 

[DJ54]

It's the only type I use..!!

 

[Soundguy]

yep.. metal core are the best. you can actually get other kinds.. but I prefer copper myself.

 

[Birchhatchery]

well i got champion j8c plugs and napa gave me new plug wires hope their right ones and they are ordering me a new distributor cap i hope also is the right one they dont have a listing specifically for my tractor case Sc_ but they said that the wires and distributor cap will fit the Case S Series tractors so i should be fine correct?

 

[MIKE R]

I am pretty sure spark plug wires are generic. A friend of mine got a set of wires from Canadian Tire and they fit his Allis Chalmers B distributor cap. I am not sure about the distributor cap as it depends on what magnito you have on your tractor.

What magnito does your Case SC have on it?

 

[Birchhatchery]

no idea i just no it had a delco remy distrbutor cap on it the tractor 20 miles away at my freinds house until i get it going good nuff to run home
