I have my grandad CC Case, a 1934. This spring I changed out the engine or a good DC engine out of a D. I have always had trouble with it overheating. Well last week I was plowing 12 acres and it overheated as usual. I was lowing in 1st gear. I dicided that on the nezxt day I would plow in 2nd and use only a third of the throttle speed. I had almost no problem with it overheating, What Im wondering is , was that the way it was supposed to work, ie, getting speed throuh the gears rather than the engine thereby keeping the engine speed low and keeping it from getting so hot so quick? I remember seeing ads saying that the CC had enormious reserve power, was that the opening up of the throttle r tough spots, as it would be hard to get any more power once you had it opened up to begin with. I had trouble with the CCs water pup and had it rebuilt, but I didnt check the DCs assuming that it should be alright, although I dont see water stirring when it is running. Ill probably pull the radiator, the shell of which is only 3 yrs old, recleaning it, and then taking a look at the water pump. Any thoughts appriciated. Thanks

I dont understand how you keep oil in the clutch with a d or dc engine in a cc or did you just change the insides Did your cc have a starter or is it a C_I ????? ????? ?????

I changed the whole complete engine. I plugged up the starter hole, and plugged off the oil pressure guage line hole. The left back hing catch dont cause of the diff configuration of the oil breather. It has a cavity under the hood the CC engine didnt have

I have more than once seen radiators that "can't be dirty" be clogged in a critical area. Radiators can be trickey. We had this experience with our '41 DC and 930 diesel Comfort King. Glenn F.

CC RADIATOR NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR A DC ENGINE

RADIATOR SHOULD HAVE 4 ROWS PF TUBES

Check the thermostat to make sure it is working .
Make sure there is a thermostat.
I pulled the one out of my DC , thinking it would run cooler. The thermostat slows the water down so the heat can be released in the radiator.Without the restriction the water never cools properly.

Look at the front of the head where the upper filler neck is located.

What am I looking for in the opper head part where the upper elbow from the radiator goes intothe head. i didnt see nothing different when I installed it. Could it be that they had removed it? what does it look like. I have farmed since 68 and have never seen a tractor radiator thrmostat. AND I just went out and looked, and this radiator shell has 4 sets of flues. I remember that the man selling it couldnt find CC listed anymore and so I went with the DC which was still listed. It has rectangular flues, not round ones which the guy said promoted better cooling

A new radiator core and thermostat fixed my DC.They will over flow as they warm up if you do`nt let them set for a while before you start them.The thermostat is in the lower end of the radiator neck.Two radiator shops told me that my old radiator was clear,but it was`nt.My tractor has been in my family for several years and the temp has always been some thing that we have had to watch."Redline"coolant additive has also made A big difference.

I used the neck attached to the CC radiator head, as I didnt know where the thermostat was. If I had known that it was in the neck pipe, I would hav used that. I wonder, dont those old thermostats ever go out ike anyother automoile thertmostat?
