1945 case VAI transmission

ryansresto · Nov 23, 2015

Hello everybody,
I am currently restoring a 1945 Case VAI industrial tractor. I got it running about a week or so ago and took it for a spin and noticed something odd. When you push the clutch in the tractor completly stops like a brake. Every manuel transmission i've ever seen coasts when you push in the clutch to shift. I was wondering if this being a 4 speed industrial madel if its is different? I am new to this so any help or advice would be greatly apreciated.
Thanks for your advice,
Ryan

Is there any possibility there's a brake hanging up??

That's what I'd say , a brake hanging up, does it roll in neutral?

Have you checked the transmission oil level???

I just did a '40 VC with band brakes that were oiled up and full of dirt. It had the same symptoms, in fact it was even hard to take off from a stop. I believe you have disc brakes , but they can produce the same effect....

The clutch pedal and brake pedals share a common shaft that goes from side to side of the torque tube. Sounds like the clutch pedal is not totally free floating on the shaft, or there is a wrong pin in one of the break arms and the clutch pedal is hitting that and actuating the brake.
You will get more precise answers to your questions down on the CASE board below.
