I am working on a Case 541 tractor..The hydraulic fluid slowly migrates from the hydraulic reservoir to the transmission and ends up leaking out through the brake housings.
(It has 3point but no Case-o-matic)
Any Suggestions of where to start???

I have the same problem in my 200. I have been cheating on changing the rockshaft seal by transfering the extra fluid in the transmission case to the torque tube. I know the correct weight oil ends up not being in either case but this tractor does no hard work and hydralics are only used for a 3 point platform. Another way to help the situation is to lower the 3 pt any time you don"t need it up or when the tractor is in the shed. Has anyone ever used the universal hydro/transmission fluid in these old tractors in both reservoirs? What were the results?

I have a 1964 Case 530 with the same problem. When mine leaks it come out of the gear shift boot. I end up draining out the excess and adding new oil to the hydraulic reservior. I have been using Cen-Pe-Co universal hydraulic oil with no problems

My dads been running universal hydro/transmission fluid in our 630 for 30 years...he knocked the seal out between the triple range and the transmission when we were in there for something...still runs fine, but leaks out the rear seals, and when in road gear splashes out where the speedo cable comes out of the tranny. I just put a gallon of Lucas Hydraulic oil conditioner in my 630 trpl range and it stopped the leak(about a cup a day or two) on the hand clutch seal within a couple of days, good stuff but pricey...30 bucks a gallon at NAPA. But hey if it saved me from tearing into it the price was well worth it.

I have a 630 w/ triple range also. Nice tractor. Mine is a gasser. The engine threw a rod 3 years ago and i found another and it's been running ever since. How do you like yours?

I love my old 630(641). It"s a 1963 gas model. I just bought it a couple of years ago in Minnesota. The 630 was the first tractor that I ever drove when I was a kid so that"s why I bought it. I grew up on a farm in SW Wisconsin. We were pretty much a Case tractor family. We had several Cases (not all at the same time of course some replaced others) a VAC, several DC"s, 580 loader/backhoe a 630, 830, two 930"s, a 1070, 1570 and a 1665 corn special combine which also had a grain head, 25" Case disk and chisel plow, mower/conditioner, grain drill, misc running gear and a blade. We had lots of other equipment too but that"s all the Case stuff I can remember. My Uncle bought my dad"s old 630 at the sale and its still running good although, the poor old tractor had a pretty hard life as it was our main �Utility� Tractor and was probably stretched to its limits many times. We moved off the family farm in the 80"s and I now live in Kansas. I found my tractor on Ebay a couple of years ago�thought I needed something to drive around the yard, plow snow and tear up the garden. Other than that the "Old Girl" is pretty much in retirement.
Sorry about the long post:)

 Re: Case 530 rockshaft piston seal is bad. in reply to Galen Ishman, 10-26-2005 16:53:24  
The rockshaft (3 point lift) piston has a bad seal. While there is a seal between the transmission and rearend, that seal is ABOVE the oil levels of both. That seal would nearly have to be gone to cause much oil transfer. Every time you use the 3 point, hydraulic oil is being dumped into the rear end. Pull the rockshaft cover, remove the rockshaft piston, replace the piston seal. Drain the rearend oil and replace it with 90W gear lube. Then, you'll be good to go.

Live in southwestern Michigan (family farm) during warm weather and south Florida during cold weather (retired teacher). Will build a new workshop next summer. BA,MA degrees from Michigan State University. Worked for Case in summers during college and summer vacations, attended their workshops, was offered but refused a very tempting proposal to work for Case full time. Even flirted with acquiring a Case franchise. You're right! Our blood is tan & orange.

Wayne,
Seriously, anyone with tractor blood in their veins, (especially tan and orange and will make exceptions for red and green) is welcome. Fort Lauderdale, Florida is home from December to April. Yep, that Wilma went directly over our home. Wife was really upset until we learned our home was in the 10% without much damage. The car we leave in Florida in the carport wasn't so luck. Flying debris did a number on it. Anyway, give me a shout.
