Part of the Case Operator Manuals.
All 152 pages of this Case 1370 Operator Manual (OEM #9-4721) are built around one goal: keeping your 1370 Tractor running right, shift after shift. Inside you get the complete operating controls walkthrough, cold-weather starting procedures, Power Shift Transmission sequencing, Draft-O-Matic hydraulic controls, and a full preventive maintenance schedule covering everything from engine oil filters to cooling system thermostat replacement. Fluid specs are spelled out in plain numbers: the Power Shift transmission hydraulic system takes Case TFD Fluid, the oil filters run 10 to 12 micron filtration, and the engine oil drain plug torques to 29-31 ft. lbs. (39-42 Nm). Change your engine oil filter after the first 20 hours, then every 200 hours after that. No more hunting forums for intervals that might not even match your serial number. Pull up the PDF on your tablet, search by keyword, and have the factory answer before you touch a wrench.

Case 1370, 1370 Tractor Common Problems This Manual Covers
Case 1370 tractor transmission shifts poorly and hydraulic fluid level fluctuates rapidly on the dipstick. p. 24
Inspect the fluid level and top up with CASE TFD FLUID as specified on page 20. Replace the elements with 10 to 12 Micron Filtration units and torque the filter manifold bolts to 35 to 42 ft. lbs. (48 to 57 Nm) on page 25.
Manual Section: Hydraulic Oil FiltersEngine oil pressure warning light flickers continuously during operation at normal operating temperature. p. 22
Drain the crankcase and verify the 100 hours change interval has not been exceeded. Install a new filter and torque the engine oil drain plug to 29 to 31 ft. lbs. (39 to 42 Nm) as directed on page 22. Refill the system and check for leaks.
Manual Section: Engine Oil Change & FiltersPower take-off driven implement operates sluggishly and fails to reach standard operating speed under load. p. 16
Verify the engine speed is set to 2000 RPM to achieve the required 1000 RPM shaft speed listed on page 16. Inspect the power take-off adapter guard and shaft assembly for binding. Lubricate all pressure fittings with No. 2 Lithium Gun Grease.
Manual Section: General SpecificationsParking brake fails to disengage completely and dashboard warning indicator remains illuminated during travel.
Check the linkage for binding and lubricate all pressure fittings on the assembly with No. 1 or No. 2 Lithium Gun Grease using as many strokes as required. Review the adjustment procedures to ensure the brake mechanism fully releases before operating the machine.
