Case Tractor Problem

My 1976 Case 224 riding lawn tractor has been lunging and jerking when it is put into forward gear. Even on a slight uphill grade it jerks forward worse than on the level. It will eventually go forward smoothly but then it will act up again. It can only be driven in the slowest forward gear because it jerks worse in the faster gear. Does anyone know what is going on?

 UPDATE in reply to Elle, 04-29-2008 22:41:22  
There is an ongoing leak under the tractor directly below the seat and towards the rear of the tractor. It is clear and not gasoline. Could that be contributing to the jerking? Also, when mowing today, the tractor did great when it was put into reverse gear (low and high), but the same jerking continued to happen when it was put into forward high gear. Like I said earlier, the low forward gear is ok on the level in low grass, except when there is an extra exertion put on the tractor, like going up the slightest grade - it could barely make it.

Check your travel control linkage for slop. Is the frame cracked? I've seen either one cause jerky driving.

Most lawn tractors are built by MTD and re-branded to whichever company was selling them.

If your Case is an MTD then it probably a belt drive with a variable speed pulley to drive the diff. There is a tensioner which is controlled by the speed selector knob which controls the speed to operate at.

There should be a cover plate between the seat and the dash which when removed reveals the variable speed pulley, belt, and tensioner. The belt or tensioner is probably slipping.

Please read the post by Elle she states Case 1976, NOT built by MTD, made by Ingersol. I think the 224 was a hydraulic drive and if so check for fluid level, kinks in hose to cooler or maybe the pump is weak.

Gary, Ingersoll bought the garden tractor line from Case in 1984. Prior to that they were made by Case. Case got into garden tractors when they bought out Colt. Wish Case would have kept them.

John, Thank you. I thought Ingersol always built Cases after the colt. I still use a 1975 220 ,way more often than I like, I HATE mowing. They sure are a heavy and solid mower compared to anything new or MTDs paint different colors.

Biggest problems I ever had with my Case and Ingersoll mowers was points and solenoids. The way it acted I would have never thought it was points. Be sure that you have no fuel problems such as bad or dirty gas or filter is not plugged. Add a little Sea Foam once in a while especially if it wasn't used over the Winter.

Not being there. One has to wonder if it is because of fuel not getting in right. Like is it diesel or gas?
If you think the fuel is ok. Then perhaps it is the clutch slipping in the tranny.
