    Case 450c hesitates shifting when warm?

    And 1978case just to make sure I answered your question none of the clutches seem weak per say, there is just a delay in the left track engaging once shifted... and only when it is warm. Once it does engage it pushes strong. When cold the speed and direction changes are instant like the right...

    Case 450c hesitates shifting when warm?

    Not to make this even more complicated the left track "problematic track" feels like it has no detent. The spool glides in fw/n/rv with little to no detent. I assumed the detent spring was seized or broken. Because it does fuction great until fluid gets warm I was thinking the actual spool is...

    Case 450c hesitates shifting when warm?

    Thanks alot 1978Case. I knew I couldn't get to the seals from the back i was just hoping with the rear cap off i could slide the shaft a couple inces to the rear so the front cap would clear, or if the shaft was locked in place with snap rings. I'm not looking forward to standing on my head...

    Case 450c hesitates shifting when warm?

    1978 case I just realized, are the caps on the rear not just the back side of the hi/ lo shaft on the front? I have a ripper that I have to take off to even access the rear caps but it looked like they lined up with the front caps that I have the bolts out of? If the hi/ lo shafts do not have...

    Case 450c hesitates shifting when warm?

    I was starting with the hi/ lo on the front and yes brother you are right, major pain! I got the hoses off and the four bolts out of the cap but the cap will not come off the shaft as there is not enough clearance between brake housing. If I take the cap off of the rear can I slide that shaft...

    Case 450c hesitates shifting when warm?

    From what I gather it is the shaft that the hi/lo clutches are on. There is a cover right behind brake assembly that has two hoses going to it. Seals start to bypass and pressure goes to hi and lo causing problems? Problem is the cover will not come off because there is not enough clearance...

    Case 450c hesitates shifting when warm?

    I have a 450c case dozer that operates great when cold. Once the fluids get up to temp the left track hesitates when shifting both the hi/lo and direction levers. In doing research I seen where other Case dozers have a seal that bypasses oil and causes this issue but my manual does not make this...
