800 case 400 trans

[mjibben]

I have a friend who put a 800 engine on a 400 trans with a 730 flywheel bolted together fine but hs no freeplay on clutch. does he need a 400 clutch?

Did he adjust the linkage?

with linkage completely unhooked the fingers are still against the throughout bearing

I guess he needs to adjust the fingers so he has some clearance.!!

never thought of that , one more question , if he has the clutch plate in backwards would that affect it, any other thoughts

Yes the clutch disk needs to be installed the correct orientation.

Put one in backwards on a Chevy PU once (yes, beer involved, as well as excessive youth). After we re-did it the next day it worked but always shuddered. Replaced it 10 years later and it was fine then; we must have warped the disk and plate. Point is, if you did that, don't just put the parts back in correctly, replace them!

If disc was put in backwards, fingers would have retracted, and would not release the clutch disc.

Good point, it would have way too much clearance.

I am not sure where your incompatibility is, however, in late 1957, Case built the Case 400 Super. The super had the A1111 engine part number. (or the 800?s- 267cu-in engine) They used the 400 flywheel and clutch assembles. The above parts combination works, I am not so sure about your 730 flywheel and clutch set up?. The part numbers are different..

thanks for all your all your help i think they need a clutch from a 400 i told them that last year. if part numbers are not the same that tells me one from 730 will not work. I have not seen this tractor yet will investigate more. thank you guys for all your help on my 400 diesel am looking forward to making it purr.

Now I know because the part numbers are not the same they need a 400 clutch, I have not seen the actual tractor but will investigate further.
Thank you guys for all your help with my 400 case diesel head gasket, I can not wait to get this tractor up and running and making it purr
