Case 630 Possible Purchase

[dominic.jd212]

Hi all, new tot he forums. Looking at buying a Case 630
COM Diesel. Guy selling will take $2200 cash. Starts easy
and drives well, but when you engage the direct drive it
starts speeding up and going faster and faster until its at
full throttle or high rpms is what Im told. When you just use
the foot pedal and not the direct drive it works fine. The guy
says he thinks it might be the direct drive plate maybe?
Other than that the tractor is in decent condition, runs
good, drives well, hydraulics are a bit slow when first
started but speed up, probably need a fluid change all
around. Anyways, my question is it a good buy and how
hard it it to fix a direct drive that keeps speeding up rather
than setting the speed?



Any input is appreciated, mainly looking for a baking tractor
and this guy is right down the road from me.

So, are you saying the
engine speed goes to full throttle when you put the COM in direct?

That is what i just paid for mine but it does not have com and the revving problem. Tin is straight tires are poor. Talk him down and buy it. They only made 1188 of them. Bill

Make sure the linkage for the throttle and caseomatic aren't conflicting with each other under the steering column, above the battery.

I donna know if this helps but I got a 530CK that does the same sort of thing after someone else used it. It seems to be a linkage interference problem. I would buy that tractor so fast at that price, whooee, and I no longer need one. But just to have it and price is OK in the rest of the tractor is in good shape. Everyone has an opinion and that is mine.
