Case 2290 clutch problems

We have just replaced the Power Shift Control Valve Assembly after a small piece of metal fatally scarred the original one (retainer clip came out inside assembly). It is completely reassembled and we have a problem, some things work and some things don't work: Power steering works fine Three-point works fine Brakes are soft but seem to get better after pumping Clutch will not engage at all - Releasing the clutch has no effect on moving the tractor.

We are thinking that there is some air trapped somewhere. To prime it, we have removed (one at a time) three of the four spool plugs in the assembly. Oil flows freely from each plug when the tractor is running. (The fourth plug, located on the bottom, is pretty inaccessible). For the plug on top, oil only flows out when the clutch is depressed. Thus we do know that the clutch is doing something.

Nevertheless, we cannot get the clutch to engage.

Any suggestions?

As far as the brakes go, it sounds like they need to be bled. There is a bleeder screw on each side on the line right above the brakes, or in that area. Run the tractor 1500 RPM crank wheels side to side a few times, have one person step on brake pedal, and have someone else remove the bleeder screw, until the bubbles are gone. You may need to do this a few times. I have to do this on the 1570 if it sits over winter. And on our 3394 it is the same thing. Good luck.

I wonder if someone may have taken the clutch modulating point and springs out of the end of the clutch spool. That will keep the C2 (master clutch) from building any pressure. There has to be something wrong like that.The valve should be completely dissasembled and checked for obvious problems,The shuttle ball assy, pilot spools and the reverese lockout spool removed, the 75 LB regulator plunger ( i have seen these put in backwards by unknowing shade trees) removed and checked for binding and cleaned thoroughly and reassembled. these valves just aint rocket science but have to be right. If the system was working before the old valve went down , it should work now, unless the shot valve caused clutch pack overheating and warpage. Not likely.

Trapped air is never a problem in this system, did you get a used valve or new? Don't have the parts book in front of me but there are different top covers used with different serial number valves on the 2390 so I assume also the 2290. Sounds like either a fault in the valve or a gasket mismatch. If the brakes were ok before they should be ok after as they are in a common supply with the steering.

We got the valve used through our local Case dealer. It had some wear marks, but the Case mechanic thought it should be okay. We checked carefully and, visually, it was an exact match to the old one - also had the same part number. All new gaskets
