Case 930 pto problem

I bought this tractor (Case 930, dsl, ck, 8-speed, draft o matic, clutch on floor) at an auction in Nov. 2011. It had a flat tire, and dead batteries. The owner told me that he had been pull starting it for 2 years! because the batteries were dead! I should have turned around and gone the other direction, but no like an idiot, I stayed and bought it. After I got some air in the flat tire, I discovered that it had no brakes! When I got it home, I hooked it up to my 20' batwing mower and discovered that the pto didn't work! (pto shaft turns all the time the tractor is running but will not turn the blades of the 20' mower). I have ordered some manuals for it to help me through getting the pto to work, but man I could use all the help you all would care to offer. When I ordered these manuals, I ordered them from Case New Holland Document Center. Did I do a bad? Guess I'll find out when they arrive and discover that they are written in some foreign language!

I don't think you will know just what is wrong with the pto till you get it apart. Could be anyone of several diffrent things.Around here fellas used to like to get an older tractor like this , and put it on the TMR feed mixer. This would soon take the clutch pack out of them, because of the sudden load they would come under. Fix it, and it will run your batwing mower, under a constant load, forever. Just my 2 cents, but the tractors had a much stronger motor than the pto drive could handle. In other words the pto would slip long before the engin will snuff. Bruce

There is an adjustment for the PTO clutch that can be done. I did it once in the 90's so it could run my haybine back then. I remember using a screwdriver to tighten something through an access panel on the side of the clutch.

Thanks Dalet for the advice. That's what I may have to do. I made the mistake of asking what the name of this tool is, and I was told that it doesn't have a name!

Thanks 1031D for all the good information and advice. When I find this access hole, I wonder if it will be way too small for me to get my hand made tool in or to see in. That seems to be my luck. Keep the advice coming!

The hole is big enough for a hand to fit in. You could probably fit a soda can in there. This is the factory clutch adjustment tool.

Thanks for the great photo. I received my 930 manuals the other day, and they have a photo showing the pto access plate. Now if I can just find it and get my hand in there. In the meantime I'll need to make a tool like the one you showed. They have another photo showing a pto brake adjustment tool. Will a screwdriver do the job or is there a special tool for that too?

A tool with a fork on the and will make life a lot easier when trying to get that lock pin to come out. Sometimes they're stuck in there pretty good.
