I am going to buy a 1964 Case-o-matic 541C. It is having problems. When you push in the clutch, it will not go into gear. All it does is grind like the clutch is not disengaging the throwout bearing. When the clutch is pushed in the fluid pressure gauge still reads about 40 pounds of pressure. I believe it is supposed to read 0. Do I have incorrect fluid in it or is it something else? Could it also be a seal or O-ring that is the problem? If anyone has any info that would be great.

Tom:

1st, make sure the engine is idling when you try to put her into gear.

If the above doesn't work, temporiliary bypass the START switch. Put her into gear (2rd or 3rd). Then start the engine, if she goes forward & you can't stop her easily with the brakes. It has a valve problem.

The clutch pressure should drop to TC charge pressure when the clutch pedal is pushed. 40 sounds about right. Does the tractor drive with the clutch down. The main drive plates may be warped, I have seen the rear bearing fail and the cage go into the piston and jam it from releasing. Forget throwout brgs and all that stuff none applies to this unit. The charge pressure is supposed to come back on the other side of the main clutch piston to retract the piston to aid shifting. Get a manual and study the operation of the TC unit so you have a understanding of it before assuming any problem or attempting a repair, they are a different animal. mEl

Thanks for the info. I should have mentioned that this tractor worked perfectly last fall. The owner backed it into the shed and when he tried to move it after the weather got cold it wouldn't go into gear. I thought the fluid was too cold but now that it is warm out it still does not go into gear. I don't know if it drives with the clutch down because he hasn't gotten it into gear.
