Case 530 CK - Splitting for rebuild

I'm looking at my tractor and wondering if it might be worth pulling off the loader before removing the front end to split the tractor for engine removal.

Anybody done this or have other words of wisdom to share?

Someone suggested on this site to support the loader in the air, but I don't see that as being particularly easy, and tying it to the backhoe may or may not work. It would be unstable at best.

The loader sure is a large part of the tractor and provides much access obstruction.

Anyone???

Thanks kindly,
Indiana Jerry

I did mine, 530CK with hoe, back in'00, here's basically how and it went very well. The engine was dead so this was done where we towed it to. Also, I had a boom rigged on the back of my 720, which is about 7ft hi and the pole reaches almost 8 ft, with a comealong on end. That substutited for an overhead hoist. You will need something with lots of up and down travel to do this method. Then, put cribbing and blocks under torque tube, jack up front, remove front wheels, drop on block/support, so it is relatively level. Remove hood, fuel tank, metal around radiator, radiator, front hyd pump, front axle, front axle support. Then the engine is ready to slide forward and out. Loader bucket is on ground. Pain reaching around loader frame but not that nasty. I'd do it the same way if I ever do another. Somewhere I got pix, maybe I could copy and send ya one. HTH. George

Whatever works! If the loader arms are NOT raised and out of the way, you're limited on the forward movement of the engine and front wheels. By raising the loader frame (bucket), enough room can be gained to roll out the complete unit with a floor jack. Be careful! Once the loader arms are raised, clamp or strap an angle iron of the proper length to one of the loader piston rods as a precaution against the arms coming down.

HOld on here! Follow what I said. The front axle, axle support casting, the steel u that holds the front of the two loader frame pieces, the radiator and the hydro pump are ALL removed, thus providing lots of room the move the engine forward. I think the limit to forward travel is the cross beam on the loader, just above the bucket. Just checked the photos and the blocking is under the torque tube only. As I recall, I was kinda surprised that the loader frame stayed up in the air by itself. All that iron in front of the engine is removed and out of the way. Also, a good time to clean and paint the axle support, and you just might find the casting date on the lower side, which can give a clue to the build date. And you can peer at the hydro pump, which is a whole lot easier to get to at this point. Sounds like more work, but I cant't see that any other way would be any easier. George S.

Definitely leave the loader in place. We used a hydraulic floor jack to raise the loader bucket high enough to get it out of the way. We then built some support posts to keep it in place. You'll likely have to remove some of the hydraulic lines to get the bucket to go up.

As mentioned previously jack up the loader frame and support it as well as support the torque tube with blocks. When I did mine I had the loader bucket supported and the torque tube supported and it was as stable as can be. You'll likely want to put support under the hoe bucket to keep it from falling backwards. It becomes kinda tail heavy with the engine removed!

Not as hard as it sounds. You'll probably want to remove your front axle and get it out of the way as well. I found at that point that the bushing in the axle that rids on the pivot pin was totally shot. I'm in the process of repairing that right now.

Good luck!

Brad

There are 4 bolts (2 each side) inside the front grill holding the loader frame to the tractor. Block up the loader frame near the torque tube and remove those 4 bolts. Remove the hydraulic intake hoses from the side frames and unscrew the two inlet nipples from the frames. Place a floor jack under the engine near the flywheel. Once bell housing bolts are removed, (gas line, throttle linkage, etc) the engine can be rolled out the front. Use a couple of small 2x4 blocks to keep the engine tipping from side to side. Also, make sure to place an angle iron on one of the raised loader cylinder rods and wire or clamp in place as a safety measure.
