CASE 530 ENGINE PROBLEM

My son-in-law was given a Case 530 gas with hoe and loader by his father who'd purchased it new. While doing some heavy loader work, the engine stalled and smoke came out from around the front of the engine. Upon checking he found the engine was 3 1/2 quarts low on oil (dumb). The engine is now locked and won't turn over.

Before we start taking things apart, is there anyone out there that could hazard a guess at what we'll be facing in terms of problems?

Appreciate any help/advise.

Thanks

Hello,
I had the engine out of my 530 gas (not 530 CK) from the front. Worked well for me since I rebuilt the front axle, steering box & radiator at the same time. Tractor was on jackstands, loader was resting on the floor and hoe was chained up. With a basic engine crane you can take the engine up & out or down to the floor and out. I haven"t tried the splitting. Best, Dennis..... ..

You will need to split the tractor so you can pull the crank. The engine is stuck because of the bearing damage. In order to do this, you will have to remove the backhoe and the loader. Rebuilding this is pretty easy but the cost depends on the machining. Hopefully you didn't spin a main bearing. The machining costs are pretty high if you did. A good machine shop can line bore the mains and provide oversized bearings. To get an idea what you are up against, I think you can drop the pan if you pull the rear front axle support and jack the front of the tractor. If you do this, you can pull a few bearing caps to see how bad it is. Once you find that out, post the results and I'm sure someone can give you an approximate cost. My last in frame overhaul was about $500.00, but that was without any machining.

Thanks guys for your input. Tractor is sitting covered in snow outside my pole barn right now. Since it was -8F this morning it"s a tad cool to begin working on her right now. If I could get the engine out I could bring it in the pole barn where I have heat, but need some milder weather first. The pole barn is too crowded right now for the whole machine.

Once I get started I"m sure I"ll be asking for more advice. Used to build engines for Allis-Chalmers, but that was 35 years ago, so I"m a little rusty.

Appreciate the help.

I'm in mid-rebuild right now!

I've run into some unanticipated problems, but for the most part, it's real easy to fully strip it down. I'm keeping a running visual log of my experience, and the guys on this site have been extremely helpful. As a hobby tractor, I wanted to do the minimum possible, BUT, once you're into it, you can't help but doing a bit more and more because of the outcome you want when it's over. (garbage in - garbage out).

I'm doing a lot more than I had planned to, but believe it will translate to one real strong machine. I mean really, the 530 is nothing more than a motor, a hydraulic pump, and hydraulic cylinders.

Probably,if you're lucky,you'll only need a crank turning,if it's not broken,and a bearing set to match.Rods and mains. I'd seriously consider going through the engine while it is down. New pistons,rings,sleeves,have the head reworked,camshaft,cam bearings,etc...If he's planning on keeping it forever and the money's available.Good luck!

You may want to take a close look at the pistons/rings while it's apart,if you don't plan on going thru the engine,at least make sure it's not seized at the pistons.

I'm sure it at least spun a rod bearing. If it didn't break a rod and hit the block, GOD's with him, Amen?
