Good afternoon, I have a 1967 Case model 430(actually 440 gas) with the model 22 loader and backhoe. I have owned the tractor for about 5 years and it has been a trustworthy companion. I do need to get to some maintenance items on it though and that is where my questions come from.
I changed the oil and filter when I bought the tractor, I also refilled the oil air filter I believe? Since then I have only added oil, it eats a quart of oil about every 4-5 hours of run time. I believe most of it burns off from worn rings since it has a consistent blue smoke. I assume at this point I should change the oil and filter again, what else should I do for maintenance? She always starts up easily weather it is 90 degrees or 10 degrees.
I have replaced the wiper seals and packings on the stabilizers and the swing cylinders because they had been leaking. Now my dipper and boom cylinders are leaking and they are much larger. I planned to order some good quality packings and wipers, does anyone have a suggestions on where to buy from that are quality?
The front bucket tilt cylinder had been leaking and would dip very quickly weather under a load or not. I replaced that wiper and packing but the cylinder still dips quickly(no more leaking though). I assume that the issue may be in the control valve? If so what is the best way of rebuilding this? Just take it apart and try to match up o rings somewhere?
Lastly I think the clutch is in need of adjustment or replacement. What is the proper way to adjust the clutch? the clutch has about 1 inch of freeplay now in the pedal before it starts to actually disengage the clutch. My issue comes about when you are under a heavy load such as starting to get stuck and the tires dig in and then grab and I believe I could get the clutch to slip if I didnt throw the clutch in to save it.
