When I push the lever forward to engage the mower blades, the wheels that hold the belts turn very slowly. There seems to be not enough power going to these wheels and the lever seems loose as well.

Any suggestions?

The clutch needs adjusting. The owners manual tells how, if you have one.

The steering on right turns is jumping teeth. Is there a way to adjust the marriage of gears? I don't have any manuals for repairs or parts.

I have a manual, but I see nowhere in it to adjust the clutch. Can you tell me where that adjustment is?

My manual covers the 446 & 448. Page 58 in my manual covers the adjustments. The adjusting nut is between the plastic fan and the over center clutch. You loosen the locknut(it holds the fan on the shaft)and tighten the adjusting nut. It calls for a 1 3/4" wrench, but I use a large slipjoint pliers. A firm push is required to engage a properly adjusted clutch. Sometimes when you tighten the locknut, the clutch tightens up. You may have to play with it for awhile before you get it right. I think it took me four times the last time I had to do mine.

Hey Jim: John might have the older 444 with no adjusting nut. In that case shims must be added after disassembly.

My 448 is the only case mower I've ever been around. I didn't know the smaller one would be different. Thanks for the info.

Jim

Hey Jim,; I think the clutches were the same on all models, except that the newer ones adjusted with that big nut.

I'm afraid I can't help on that model, but let me talk to my brother. He worked for a Case dealer for a number of years.
