I am rebuilding the engine on my DC. I have never rebuilt an engine before but I figure I can do just as good as some of the mechanics at the dealerships. I have 2 questions. First, which side of the tractor should the stamped numbers on the connecting rods be (steering rod side or other)? The other question is how are the numbers supposed to go, 1-4 left to right when facing the non steering rod side of the tractor or 4-1 left to right?? Oh, what does the camshaft look like & what is it for? What exactly are the "main bearings"? How do you know if the crankshaft is still workable or not?? I know this is a lot of stuff to ask & it may seem dumb but I would like to know. Please try not to laugh & be to hard on me for my stupid questions. Thanks for any help.

Craig - Received your email. Your email address you provided won't let me return my answer. Might want to check and see if it was correct.

Craig - If some one has not suggested this already, I suggest that you get a repair manual. The questions that you raised are covered in depth in most manuals. You can obtain manuals right here on this web site. If you follow the manual, have the tools, deep pocket book, and a little luck you can get that DC running and will enjoy it for years to come. Another thing, don't be afraid to ask questions. There are a lot of us that love these old case tractors.

You might want to take apart something a little simpler, like a lawn mower engine. A case DC is a heavy beast to try to learn on.

Hey Dave D. Thanks for the reply. That is a grand idea to try and rebuild something smaller & less expensive. The problem is that I have my DC that I already have alot of money into on other repairs. I need to use my DC to farm with so I have to rebuild the engine. It had antifreeze in the oil. So, rather than having an investment setting there broke down I will have to rebuild it. I have no choice in the matter so I will be forced to learn to rebuild the engine on my own. It would cost me a fortune to hire someone to do the work. Any info from you veteran Case guys would be much appreciated. Just think, what I learn from this experience I will be able to pass on to the upcoming generations of Case enthusiasts and thereby keep the tradition strong.
