Case SC clutch question

I have a late model SC, probably a 53 or 54, not sure, no serial number to be found. It has a foot clutch, eagle hitch, and live power. What I am wondering is about the clutch. I have it split because the clutch was seized to the flywheel. It did that overnight. I also need to replace the ring gear. The clutch was recently replace before I bought this. IS it supossed to be a wet or dry clutch? It has oil in the bell housing, but the clutch disc is identical to that of every dry clutch I have seen. A local Case collector told me it was a dry clutch and so did the guy at the local machine shop. But there is still oil in the bell housing. The clutch disc is like new, so I would like to clean it up, surface the flywheel and slap it back together. I would think that if it was a dry disc that it would slip with that much oil in there. IT definiantly is supposed to get that much oil because there is a hole in the back of the engine I could stick my whole arm in.

Any help would really be apprecitated. Thanks

My SI clutch would stick if I left it engaged for a week or so. It had a little metal strap on the floor boards that you used to keep the clutch disengaged while parked. It had a foot clutch if you have a hand clutch then just leave it in the disengaged position while sitting.

This is a common problem. Keep the oil in the clutch housing changed regularly. Change it when you change your engine oil. There is also another fix to this problem. Email me if interested and I will try to explain it to you.

Your SC came with a wet clutch. I believe it is the same as the DC, and, if so oil is pressure fed to the clutch through a small hole bored in the crankshaft. The oil the accumulates in the bell housing until it is picked up by the rotating flywheel and returned to the crankcase, thus the return hole. It could be that someone resurfaced the clutch with dry clutch material. I used to think they were the same, but they are not. That could be your problem. Also check to see that the oil is still coming from the end of the crankshaft. I would definately get the oil clutch working as it is far superior to the dry clutch.

The hole in the back of the block is machined, there is a tin piece that goes over it when you assemble the two halves together, also a gasket around the hole bell housing itself. I just want to know if they put a dry disc in and left the casting the same, or if it is whe wrong disc, or maybe it is suspossed to be wet. Thanks

I had the same problem with my DC foot clutch. Apparently it is quite common for the wet clutches to stick when they sit engaged, sometimes for only a short period of time. Go to page 12 of this forum to a post on 19 April titled "DC clutch won't disengage". The fellows who responded gave experienced, pertinent advice that worked well. One response was from a foot clutch SC owner. You most definitely have a wet clutch.

Travis: I think you have another problem besides your clutch. I'm not a Case expert, but that would be a dry clutch, without any fluid in the clutch compartment. I am suspecting some engine damage at some time, and there shouldn't be a hole in the back side of the engine block. I would look for some sign of engine tear down such as a new cylinder head gasket[cleaner than the area above and below it], and the same for the oil pan gasket. Also, is the arm sized hole irregular shaped with rough edges? A factory hole would be made in the casting process, or machined at a later time, with a finished or smooth edge. Good luck. LE

I have a 54 SC we bought new. They told us it had a wet clutch. There is a drain plug under the clutch housing that should be drained when you change oil. Hope this helps.
