My 970 was put to work this week. Trying to get a new field ready for corn. We chisled it (not the case) and then went back with the 970 and disk/cluti combo. We new it was going to take a while with all the sod to break down. Today trying to beat a local shower I was running over it. 2-1, 2-2 range. I keep smellin brake or clutch? All gages where in the green and I just assumed that she was getin a work out. Wasn't pullin hard but did have some slippage tire wise. Anyway when I got forced to stop (rain) I noticed a wet area where the engine meets clutch housing on the bottom (like a leak?). Ran my finger across it, yep hydro fuild.

What do ya think it be? Common issue or do I get to split my new (to me) tractor with maybe 10 of my hours on it (~4800hrs)?

I probably don't really want to know (just been that kinda week) But I do plan to use it and need to address it before it to late.

Also seems to shift hard in the power shift. Normal. Kinda like dumping the cultch when shifting. I tend to shift at low rpms and speed up once I am where I want to be (gear). Caught the boy running in third (ps), 2 grand, and mashing the foot clutch. Needless to say we had a talk.

The power shift has adjustments that may help it shift better. "Can't even use my name" is right, the smell is probably from the brakes. There is no dry clutch on the power shift. Also clutching with the power shift in 2nd or 3rd and with the rev's high SHOULDN"T hurt but with the age of these tractors it doesn't hurt to be a little more cautious.

Sounds like the parking brake was the smell. If the leak isn't terrible it may just be a bad gasket there, hard to tell without seeing it. As far as the boy using the clutch like he did we have had Case's for a long time and they are all worked over hard and driven harder with little trouble including many a time clutching like he did. Maybe we are just lucky but if it weren't for bad luck we wouldn't have any at all!
