Case DC-4

[Farmall M 248]

I was just wondering if a DC-4 Case has live power since it has a hand clutch?

Thanks ,Farmall M 248

I've only seen the LATE DC and SC models with a FOOT clutch also have the live PTO option. My brothers SC and DC HAND clutch models DO NOT have the live PTO.

Most dc tractors did not have live power, that only came the last few years. They could have either foot or hand clutch with live power. I think it was about 1950 or 51 when the live power and eagle hitch started on those.

I have a book on Case tractors. It states that "In 1952, the brake pedals were relocated from either side of transmission housing to both pedals on the right side; dual disc brakes were fitted; and at serial number 5601106, live hydraulics and PTO and Eagle Hitch were offered. During 1953, the hand clutch was replaced with a foot operated clutch".

The hand clutch was available through end of production on the DC and the later 400. It was also on the 930 standard til end of production with foot clutch optional on the 930 and hand clutch optional on the 400. Im not sure which was standard on the DC.

I was told some hand clutch dc were converted to foot clutch by dealers. To sell them and make them more modern.

the hand clutch on the 930's were on the first couple of years after the 900's, the orange round fender chain drive tractors had the hand clutch. i have never saw a hand clutch on any newer style square fender 8 speed tractor. and the foot clutch came out on the DC's on the last year of production.

i wonder if that was the old stock tractors,.... as the 53-54 models would have a foot clutch.

 

[RBnWA]

Yes it does. RB

I apologize . Mine isn't close enough to go look. It is hand clutch with live pto. RB

They made the 6spd 930 til 66 or 67, after they went to the yellow tank and square fenders. And the 930 6 spd was available with either the hand clutch or foot clutch til the end of the 6 spd. The 8spd row crop did not have hand clutch as an option as far as I know.

Ive never heard of a dealer doing that, but the factory converted a bunch that were left overs. I believe they even took some back from dealers to convert as well.

I called the 6spd a standard, but its the same thing.

it would be quite the job. gotta split the tractor and replace the pressure plate with the other style, then all different linkages and petal.

you said the foot clutch was optional till the end of 930 production, i dont even think the last 930's could even have a hand clutch as they were foot clutch.

I did not say the 930 til end of production, i said the 930 6spd or standard had the hand clutch. Case made both the 8spd row crop and the 6 spd standard at the same time til 67 I think. It is the standard, 6spd, that had the hand clutch or optional foot clutch.

 

[rustred]

“ It was also on the 930 standard till the end of production with foot clutch optional.” Just looked again and that is your words.
