I have a case 1070 that is my FIL. I was going to use it discing today. Made about 2 trips around field and it started to bog down like it was starving for fuel. It runs fine idling and just driving around but when I drop the disc it starts bogging down. I am pulling a 12' RWA disc. Any thoughts.
 
Does the powershift seem to work OK? parking brake off?


If yes to both of the above, it is probably starving for fuel. Good flow at sediment bowl? Strainer in sediment bowl clean? If yes, then change the filters. If no, blow some air back through the line that goes from the sediment bowl back to the tank(cap off tank)
 
As others said fuel flo from tank important. Remove line at injection pump glass bowl. Should be full flo. Those tractors had
asmall fine screen pencil filter in there tank an if its still on after all these years could be very clolgged! Do as martin
said -blow air through if flo is restricted.
 
glass bowl at injector pump ,,. Charles ,,, I probably need to install a water dirt trap somewhere ,..my 1070 had sediment bowl between the tank and filters, it was in not such a easy to get to place under the cab , had so much trouble with suckn air I took off .. temporarily ,..was thinkin about putting a electric fuel pump on the 1070 .. but I got all the trash out of the tank and so far all is well.. just thinkin to put the water trap rite off the filters between the injector pump ,, but I fear it sill suck air again ,..
 
No need for extra water trap as there is one on bottom of tank to perodically drain.Our 1070 when fuel did not come full flo is when i found the pencil screen on the fitting on the tank. I removed it an did put the old style glass filter on at the bottom of tank.That ended fuel starvation providing that was cleaned ocasionally an also the screen on the glass thing on the injection pump.You should not have a air leak as fuel will be under gravity flo an should keep enough to engine an some extra.There is no need for a electric fuel pump eighter.Do be very careful turning fittings on fuel tank as you dont want to break seal an have fitting leak between tank material an fitting.Finally after all these years are you positive there is nothing floating in tank?I have to admit the instruction manual did say there was a filter in side of the tank .I threw that away.
 
Just wanted to say thanks for all the responses. Looked at it again this morning, found dirty air filter, dirty sediment filter, changed both fuel filters and flow was obstructed from tank and blew it back and now have great flow. To wet to use yet but I would think changing and putting new filters on should be a great improvement. Thanks again, Gregg
 
Yes.. come close to yanking the tank this spring doing tillage work ,, it was either too full ,or I was too tired ,when it was nearly empty ,and I had not had any trouble . lol ,,.so I filled it again and went to the field ,, all went well til I got to about half tank ,.. the real problem turned out to be a stripped bleeder screw that was always a little weepy ,..And Suspect ... the fix was simpleenuf ,,.. put a bolt and washr on the filter base .. so far no problems
