I got a Case tractor with a place that I bought. The man said that it is a 530 gas from around 1963. I don't have a manual for it yet. What do the levers on the side of the tractor do? Was the 'S' position on the transmission a 'start' position? Thanks for any help.

I think the circuit to the starter somewhere
beyond the key swith is broken and the S position
in the gear shift forces you to take the tractor
out of gear and put it in the S position, (neutral) to complete the circuit to start it up.
This is a smart safety feature that if not working, should be repaired. Someone not familier with the tractor will stand beside
the tractor and hit the key to see if there is any battery left in her and get themselves
run over if the tractor is left in gear.

Yes 'S' is the start position, but if it is not hooked up it will start in any position. The lever on the right hand side is the range selection. Forward and in is high, back and in is direct, and forward and out is low (there is no back and out). The lever on the left hand side is a hand clutch which will allow you to shift gears with the pto running.

SO what are the differences in the three selections except for the obvious high, Direct and Low. When would a person use these different gear ranges. In what postion should the hand clutch for the PTO be in when not in use forwards or back?

High range has the road gear in it and will allow you to go over 20 mph. Other than that the speeds change depending on gear combinations. Speeds do not increase by range, meaning not all gears in high range are faster than in direct or low ranges. Example: 1 high is not faster than 4 direct or even 4 low. When I am pulling things it is usually in 1 or 2, direct or low.

The hand clutch is just like the foot clutch except it do not disengage the PTO like the foot clutch. I have a later model 530 and I believe pulling up on the lever is disengaged (I am not sure on this), so I would say pushing forward would disengage the clutch on yours. Saying this, my hand clutch does not work very well. I tried to adjust it, but I believe there is rust on the clutches and it does not disengage all the way (it stops the tractor but will not allow you to change gears without a lot of gringing).
I hope this helps.

I think the hand clutch was designed only to stop the forward (or reverse) motion of the tractor while keeping the PTO turning but does not allow the gear selector to be changed. To change gears you must depress the foot clutch. That might be the gear grinding in the previous post.
