case 430

[tsgtdan]

Well I got myself into a pickle this time. My case 430 overheated, so it rattles and clanks. I need to pull the engine and transport it to my
grandsons house. I know you have to seperate the tractor, am I looking at a hard job? I guess I will have to build a rolling support for one half
and a stationary support for the other, not really sure about that yet.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks Dan

ps was in the middle of bush hogging when it happened, temp gauge was not working, my own fault. Like others have said make sure your gauges are
working correctly.

You should not need splitting stands because you will have to take the front end off also. Any small engine hoist should work fine. Block up under the bell housing, take the front end off the block, and then take the engine off at the bell housing. Did it get hot because the coolant was low, or hot because it spun a bearing? Rattles and clanks sounds like lubrication problems.

It got hot because the coolant ran out, I didnt notice, you know my mind wanders,. Old folk idus.

Did you loose any oil pressure?
