W 24C transmission

Based on the miles-per-hour shown for each speed in the operator's manual, mine is producing reverse, first range high and second range low, but nothing else. I don't much care about second high, since I don't travel distances, but would like to have first range low speed for the power it would give.

The local Case dealer says it's odd to have 1st high and second low - you would expect 1st low and second low, or first high and second high. That seems logical to me too, but I don't know anything about these transmissions.

If anyone has information or even just a thought about these transmissions and troubleshooting them, please respond.

The machine is 65 miles from the dealer and I'm hoping to avoid the expense of a service call unless I have no choice.

Here's how my cutout valve is working right now: when you use the left pedal, it disengages the transmission so that you can speed up the engine for faster lift speed, etc. As long as it engages and disengages, is it working correctly, or might there still be a problem?

Also, can you tell me how to identify that valve and where it is mounted on the trans?

Do you have the specs (or know where i can find them) for the trans. pressures and stall speeds, and what ports to check for pressures?

I have been told that the engine has to be removed before the trans. can be removed. Is that correct? I hope it doesn;t go that far, but you never know.

You are right, that the reason I first thought there might be a problem was I couldn't feel a shift. Now I know I probably won't feel it, and that's fine, but the other thing is, the operators manual shows the following ground speeds:

low range forward, 1st 2.6 miles per hour 2nd 6.5 miles per hour
high range forward, 3rd 11.4 miles per hour 4th 22.2 miles per hour

In low range, I'm seeing more or less 6 miles per hour, and in high range, 11 or 12 miles per hour. This tells me the transmission is producing low range 2nd and high range 3rd.

If it will shift up to second in low range, why won't it shift up to fourth in high range?

If it ends up that I can't get fourth, that's ok. That's faster than I want to travel the machine anyway.

The one thing I'd really like to find out is whether I'm getting low range first gear. That's where the power is. I dont want to be abusing the machine by pushing into a heavy load in second, when it should be in first.

Is there a way to check if low range 1st is engaging? Or since I seem to ahve low range second, does that mean low range first has got to be working?
