    Case 310G crawler track tension

    The idler bearing's not coming out, not without a 50 ton press, nothing like that around here. The spring casing bolts are already rounded off so that's not coming off either. I did manage to get new adjustment nuts on the rod so I can at least tighten the track. Shame to run with no working...

    Case 310G crawler track tension

    No go on getting the spring carrier off, some of the bolts don't have head enough to get a socket on. I put a 4' long 2" I.D. pipe on the front yoke nut and wedged it to the dozer blade, started the dozer and swung the blade to force the spring to compress, hoping I could get the square nut at...

    Case 310G crawler track tension

    No go. Some of the spring carrier bolts don't have head enough to get a socket on. I put a 2" pipe on the yoke adjuster nut and propped it against the dozer blade, fired up the dozer and turned the blade in that direction to compress the spring hoping to get the rod to stick far enough out the...

    Case 310G crawler track tension

    I got the yoke collar nut and it's backup nut free but the threaded disk with spanner wrench holes still won't budge. It's impossible to turn or move the rod or get the spring out. I'm going to go ahead and try to take the whole spring casing off.

    Case 310G crawler track tension

    On my 310E the collar is pass through, on the 310G it's threaded.

    Case 310G crawler track tension

    310G diesel, 6way blade. I have the left front idler wheel off for a bearing replacement. The track tensioner threaded rod/bolt, middle nut (the threaded disk with the spanner wrench holes)and rear nut are all frozen solid. Can't get the spring out. The rod/bolt won't turn, the middle nut...

    Case 310 one brake won't work

    That would cause problems driving, yes? No problems driving, it drives well with both tracks. If I hold the left brake handle hard and long enough it may (or not) turn a little, better in reverse. Same problem with the main brake pedal, it'll scoot sideways. They are new shoes and good...

    Case 310 one brake won't work

    I have made all the adjustments I can. Got both steer handles to the same "feel". Adjusted the "T" nut adjuster on the new brake shoes. Everything looks great inside the gear case. The right brake works, the left one does not. If I hold it hard long enough sometimes it will work a little...

    Who made the d188?

    Hey, Bud, no wonder there was confusion, too many 188's! That's another reason why I considered it possible that they were all produced by a third party. I don't know about the "G" prefix meaning gasoline, especially as the model number ends in "D" (diesel) in my case (G188D). "G" may be a...

    Who made the d188?

    It's a G188D in a Case 310G which places it anywhere from '64 to '70 (can't read the SN plate yet)but I'm satisfied with CASE as the mfg. especially as "Case Manufacturing" is stamped on the engine SN plate.

    Who made the d188?

    Thanks for the replies. I guess that does away with all the references I've seen about the IH 188D! I didn't post it in the CASE forum 'cause I needed a wider audience in case it was made by Detroit, Cummins, Cat or whatever.

    Rewiring a 310G crawler inst panel

    Been converted to alternator system. All gauges wires cut. Got oil pressure on a new gauge, that's it for instrumentation (I'm guessing it doesn't need the low oil electrical switch). I'd like to get the warning light and ammeter working. Main problem is right now, the two field wires from...

    310G Case Steering

    You might be able to tell something by draining the oil and taking the back plate off of the differential to look inside at the gears. Good time to check the brake shoe linings and adjusters too.

    Case 310G diesel hard starting

    Since blue smoke is rather constant I lean toward the low compression theory. After I check a few other things first and find a way to get hold of a proper compression tester I'll make a decision whether to do the valve job myself or get it done elsewise. It doesn't restart just after shutting...
