Hi all,
I have a case 300B that has been sitting under cover for approximately 5 years; once my fathers tractor, but left practically untouched since his passing years ago.
I finally had the opportunity to take a look at it this past month and found it in a no-run condition. After much fiddling with the electrical, gas lines and carb, finally got it to turn over.
Unfortunately I cannot get it into gear when started. The gears grind going into any position, including the H/L/D shifter. No issue shifting into all gears with the tractor off. This tractor does not have a hand clutch.
Interestingly, the PTO clutch grinds when engaging without depressing the foot clutch, but seems smooth when I do depress the foot clutch.
When I last ran this thing years ago it had no clutch or shift issues that I can recall. It's been in our family many years and ran very well.
Checked tranny fluid which looks fine. Tried adjusting the foot clutch and verified that the rod is pulling out 1/16" (actually, it's able to pull out approximately 1" or so)
At this point, not sure what else I should be checking?
