Centennial Plow

neverfear · Sep 8, 2014

Anyone have an exploded view of the gearcase on a centennial plow? Not sure of the year so here are some pics if that helps. Plow is new to me and went to use it for the first time, yanked the rope and the wheel just skids. Would like to know what I'm getting into before I open it up. Thanks

I don't have any pictures, but its a simple dog and roller clutch. There's no springs to fly out or 12 fingers needed to re-assemble. About the most straight forward assembly there is. LE

It has to have good tread on the tire for one thing and also the type of ground makes a lot of difference too.It likely the gear box is all gummed up from 40 year old grease and dirt.Don't be afraid to pull it apart,I've been in a couple of them and they are pretty simple.Ron

If your wheel just slides , it can be your tire isn't getting a good ground grip .. is your tire bald ?? it should be a tire like on the back of a tractor .. but going backwards ..I have a plow with a snow tire , and it works .. but if the ground is loose or grassy it does slide some too..
I have took mind apart and clean it and put in oil ... if I can do it I'm sure you can .. just take it apart and watch how it comes apart ..

I have a Moline plow on steel, so I'm familiar with the skidding wheel when lifting the plow out on loose ground. This plow is up and I went to drop it and the wheel locked up. Must be gummed up inside so I'll pull it apart and inspect.

I have not had one apart, but mine drop like a stone when tripled and when you have one tripped on ground you do not want to plow just lift with the loader and pull the lever again and it pops the wheel and axles back to the raised position.

Have one photo of open lift clutch made during restoration of my 2 bottom Centennial in 2005.
Think that crankshaft(power axle) is rusted tight in inner half of clutch housing.
Dealer service manual states fill with one pint SAE 140 oil.

I have a 2-16" CASE centennial plow that would not raise or lower when tripped. I greased everything, aired up the drive wheel snow tire, and pulled it on the driveway with no results. I gave up and parked it. About a year later I got it out for a plow day, and in daylight discovered that a tree had fallen next to the plow and mangled up the linkage at the tail wheel.. The lift lever (about 18" long) had been hit and pushed over center on the lift link at the tail wheel. Normally, tripping the plow causes the front and rear to work in unison. This impact and change of position caused the rear to work opposite the front (impossible to work), locking up lift process. To repair, lift up rear of plow, remove 3 or 4 cotter pins from lift lever and link, replace in proper position and reassemble. A couple of washers placed under the pins might tighten things up. There was no cost-only a reset. Next day we pulled this plow with a RN 300 and had no problems with either machine

It ended up being the up and down joint at the tail wheel was rusted tight. Got it pounded apart and greased up and works good. Thanks to all.
