Super C Restore

[joewilshire]

By the way...I just created an avitar. It's my super c just after it arrived in my driveway about 3 months ago. I have done alot of rust removal and painting since then and will update my avitar once it's done or maybe sooner.

In the meantime, here is a post of more pictures of the tractor.

If you dont' want to have to take the trans apart and replace all the bearings, suggest you change that trans gear oil soonest. By the way, DO NOT engage the PTO untill you drain that trans as the gears for it sit very low in trans case and may be surrounded by ICE. BobG in VA

So I decided what the heck. Started to take off the tranny cover. Some of the bolt heads rusted bad enough that I used a smaller socket and pounded it on with a hammer then used an electric impact wrench to remove them.
Got all of them loose except the bolts under the steering tower and dash.

Then I thought about looking in the stick shift hole...and Viola!

What looked like 3 rails...left rail for reverse gear, middle rail for 1st and 2nd gear, right rail for 3rd and 4th gear. The left and middle rails were lined up with each other but the right one was off center. I took a small pry bar and wiggled it into position of the other 2 and, guess what? Yea...the transmission is now in neutral and A OK!.

From now on I will be sure and shift more easily.

Now it's off to the hardware store to get new bolts and lock washers and then wire wheel the cover before primer and paint, then I will re-install the tool box and seat support and seat. I will do the remaining part of the cover when I get to the tower and dash.

Thanks again for your help guys.

Glad you got your problem fixed. However, I'd keep that pry bar handy since these old trannies may act up again.

Ok. On to more renovation.

I have the brakes back on and re-installed all the pedals and brake adjusters. Noticed alot of leakage coming from the housing where the brake/clutch shaft runs through the housing. Removed adjusters, left brake bracket and clutch pedal. Pulled the shaft out and removed the left oil seal. Hope to find a pair at work that will fit.

The shaft is worn where the clutch and right brake pedals ride. It really isn't worn where the seals ride. I may get a steel rod at work also, and machine the slots for woodriff keys as well as the c-clip...retainer ring. It would be so much better to do this now because I don't want to have to drain the tranny again later.

I have also been removing other parts so as to sand blast, prime and paint.

One part I removed, the fan and hub assembly is where my next question is.

Is there a bearing and/or seal the goes inside the rear of the hub that the shaft rides on? There seems to be something that was there before as I witnessed what looked like metal shavings or hardened rubber.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks again.

Hey, I've got a really easy fix for your shifting problem. It's actually very common, and I experienced it with my Super H. What happens is, the bottom of the shift lever is worn, and when you changed gears, the gear didn't disengage before the newly selected gear engaged - you were stuck in two gears at once - hence the stalling. You don't need to take the whole transmission cover off. You can just pop the shift lever off to reach in the tranny with a pry bar to line the shift forks back up. There are soft plugs that pry out which cover a dowel pin at the base of the lever, then it just lifts out.

O.K., all that aside, here's the fix. When you get the lever out, build up the end of it with a welder, then grind it back into shape. Really a lot of trial and error, but see the pictures I've attached for guidance. What I did is sort of peek in the hole while I moved the shifter to see what I needed to grind or weld. Took a few shots, but it shifts like it was new now.

Really easy fix, really satisfying when it's done!

Still looking for an answer to my previous post.

It's about wheter or not there is a sealed bearing or some type of seal in the fan hub assembly.

The pictures and diagrams I have seen on CaseIH.com does not show anything, however, I would think something should be there to help keep the oil inside of the hub.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks again.

Yes, there are fan hub gaskets. There are two different hubs, so depending on which one you have, the part numbers are different. Also, one hub has a gasket on both ends. I'm not really up to speed on that stuff, so I really can't be of any more help other than to say yes there are gaskets. A quick glance at my engine service manual shows them. If you don't have the shop and parts manuals for both the tractor and engine, I highly recommend them. Great resource over the years.
