I am looking at buying a 1977 case 380 that has shuttle shift, the transmission will not go into low range. Is there a common problem with these transmissions? Would it be worth fixing? Any help would be great.
 
The current owner said it became sticky going into low range
and then would no longer go into low range. Trying to make
sure that the cost for repairs and the price of the tractor will
Pan out to equal current market value. Do you know what
current market value would be for something like this? The
tractor is in excellent condition only 2700 hours And it is a
diesel. Thank you for your help is greatly appreciated as I am
a novice when it comes to tractors.
 
(quoted from post at 10:28:15 06/01/12) last one with a shuttle I bought/sol here in Wyoming I sold for 5500 good tractors

About what i would expect for a "dealer" price around here, maybe a little more.

If you can buy it right, and plan on fixing it yourself, you can easily come out ahead.

If you plan on paying someone to fix it, it sounds like a loosing venture unless it is really cheap.

"getting sticky" sounds to me like a bent/bending/broken shift fork, or the shaft that the H/L gear slides on has damage.
 
RGMartin are you a dealer for case? If so are you able to find
parts for the case ck380? If you are I'd like to see about
getting in touch with you.

Not a dealer. I farm some and play with DBs in my spare time. I have a accumulated a mess of used parts and parts tractors along the way.

My email should be there on the modern side.
