Case 400 diesel

MattBoy · Jun 26, 2016

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and still trying to figure it out, but I am restoring a case 400 diesel tractor For my grandmas birthday in a few weeks as it was her dads tractor and has great sentimental value to her. But anyway I got all my parts and now have hit a road block as I can't find the head bolt torque specs anywhere. Hopefully someone on here would have them and be willing to share them with me. Thanks!

(quoted from post at 06:24:35 06/27/16) Which 400? Case made two different model 400's.

By looking at the serial number I found out it was a 1955. Not sure what else would tell you what one it is. It's the diesel one, and the standard tractor (not row crop). But other then that I don't know much about cases as I am a old Deere guy

1955 would make it a 401. I will look for my book.

from my understanding the 401 was the row crop diesel. This one is not a row crop tractor.

engine specs are the same.

Ok, would you be able to give me head bolt torque then please?

according to the case service manual for the round nose 400 its 100 ft pounds.
