After changing the engine oil in my tractor, I discovered that the clutch will not disengage the transmission from the engine,so I can not shift out of neutral without much "gnashing of teeth."The tractor had been running fine up until now.Is it possible I overfilled the crankcase?Can anyone suggest a course of action that may get me back on the driveway?Thanks

All older case tractors have a wet clutch. That is some of the oil from the crank case is suposed to go in the clutch houseing.This happens automaticly when you put oil in the crank case.What probably happened is you havn't been draining the oil out of the clutch houseing when you change the oil.Find tthe drain plug for the clutch and drain out the old oil.Then take off one of the inspection plates for the clutch and put in about a gallon of feul oil.Put the plate back on and run tractor for a few minutes to clean the clutch out.(the clutch is gumed up from not changeing its oil)Drain out feul oil and replace plug.Top off the engine oil and the clutch houseing will fill by its self.Make sure when you change oil that you drain the clutch too.If this doesn't fix it let me know.We'll try something else but I'm sure thats the problem :)

Thanks Larry for your answer to my question.I hope to try your suggestion this weekend and will let you know if I had any luck,but it sounds like you're on the right track.I've had the tractor five years now and change the engine oil regularly but never the clutch oil.I suspect the previous owner had never done this either.Thanks again Larry ,and I'll keep in touch.

GOOD CALL That sounds right Larry do you think the machine sat around for a while/ or is the oil just poor from not being changed enough?

The oil in the clutch houseing collects alot of crap.I suspect it is from the clutch lineing,but the clutch never seems to wear out.In fact I've never seen one go bad yet. It's just a good practice to change the clutch oil each time you change the engine oil. Saves on a lot of trouble.

I had a look but could not find a drain plug for the clutch, but I took the left side inspection plate off and removed the oil inside (4 or 5 cups worth) using a home made suction device.On the bottom of the pan were two round pins about an inch long with round heads and drilled ends for cotter pins.After investigating some more, I discovered, with the clutch handlever pulled back as if to uncouple the engine and trans.,there is a sliding piece around the shaft and close to the fork, there were two identical pins holding this sliding piece together, and two empty holes were I presume the pins I had found belonged.So, I put these pins in place with new cotter pins, but the clutch handlever is now locked in place and will not return to its normal position.Did I jam something up?Sorry if I'm unclear,I'm not a real technical person.Thanks.

OH OH ! Sounds like the part that pushes the clutch over center broke. You should buy a repair book for your tractor.Yesterdays tractors might have one listed some place.I had this same thing happen to a 40 or 41 SC one time. It's not that hard to fix,but would be hard for me to describe.Maybe we can take it one step at a time.First find the drain plug. It will be on the right side of the tractor ( as your sitting on it ) Drain out the oil and see if there are any more parts in the bottom of the clutch houseing.Then contact me at [email protected] and we'll take it from there. Good Luck
