    Case DC4 drivetrain noise.

    Before my Grandfather passed away back in 2008 or so, he gave me one of his tractors. It's a 1945 DC-4 that has an excellent running engine. I don't really use it, but I store it indoors and run it a few times a year. I now have a larger acreage and plan on plowing with it in the future. One...

    Spark plugs for 1945 Case DC4

    I haven't used Champion plugs in a while so I can't speak either way on them. I do know that 25 years ago, bosch plugs went down the tube and I had several new ones that failed. Haven't bought any since, just a bad taste in my mouth. Back to the DC4, have another question. Does the cooling...

    Spark plugs for 1945 Case DC4

    Well I picked up a 2 1/4 inch muffler and managed to get that installed. Sounds good, and no more exhaust in my face. Today I drained the oil, both drains. Wow, am I ever glad I did that. Also pulled out the screen and took a look inside. I'm not kidding, there was an inch of sludge in the...

    Spark plugs for 1945 Case DC4

    They are definitely solid metal wires, so all good there. Also, the muffler is rotting, does anyone know the muffler inlet size? I would like to pick one up on my way home today...

    Spark plugs for 1945 Case DC4

    Good to know that resistor plugs may cause issues! I didn't know that, thanks for that info. I will definitely drain the clutch of oil, found that detail on a youtube video. The spark plug wires are new solid core wires I installed a few years back, with only a few hours of use, and it's...

    Spark plugs for 1945 Case DC4

    I just moved and the manual for my Case tractor is packed away in a box somewhere. Does anyone know what the spark plug number is for this old case? I need to put resistor plugs in this tractor as the wife said that as long as that tractor engine was running, the OTA TV signal in the house was...

    plow ID

    can someone identify the parentage of this plow? a friend has it and was wondering. it has a couple unique features, like the swivel on the hitch and curved supports for the rear of the moldboard that should narrow it down. I'm thinking Case, but not sure. Thanks .

    5130 dieing

    Ok so I posted about this a while back. I have a 5130 that will die on me after using it for an hour or 2. It happens whether it's cold or not. Seems like it does it more when the tank gets below 3/4 - 1/2. So I finally got time to tear into it. I pulled the seat out to get to the fuel lines. I...

    Big Bee Brush Hog

    I have a Big Bee brush hog with the plastic covers over the shaft U-joints. On the front one you can easily get to the zerk fitting to lube but the rear one is covered by the plastic guard. The plastic guard will not budge. Is there a secret to moving the guard forward on the shaft to reach the...

    Fluids for a 231 Diesel.

    Thanks to all of you for taking the time to post in such detail. After my research here, I was able to make an educated decision on what oil to purchase. I was able to find CF-2 SAE 30 oil at WalMart here in Canada. I bought their Universal Tractor fluid which was labelled as a 134 so I'm good...

    Fluids for a 231 Diesel.

    I'm ready to buy new fluids for my tractor. I drained the engine, transmission, and the rear end/hydraulic system. I know for the engine I should buy a Diesel oil (probably 15w40 for here in Canada) but I'm not sure what to put in the trans, gear oil? Also not sure what to put in the rear...

    It worked! Thanks guys. That made it so simple once the weight was off the front axle. Now if I could figure out how to wire up my 3g alternator on this thing.

    Thanks, I will check that, but its not that the arm isn"t far enough back, its too far up. I can"t bend the radius arm, or push it down far enough to go back into place.

    Forgive me if this is a double post. I"m not familiar with this type of forum. I fixed the clutch in my Ford 231 and bolted the two halves back together quite nicely. Now I"m trying to mount the ball end of the radius arms back onto the tractor, but they are pretty far away, and I can"t...

    Bad clutch in 231 Ford

    I"ll check for the bad sensor under the battery tray. Good tip there. About the clutch. Yeah, I was afraid it was a pressure plate problem. So, what other items do I need to worry about with separating the trans from the engine? Looks like a number of lines and some wiring. Anybody have a few...
