Part of the Case Repair Manuals.
Written for the Case 1420 Axial Flow Combine, this 357-page Case 1420 service manual PDF (OEM ID GSS-1500) follows all ten factory sections, from the engine and separator drives to the operator's cab. Hydraulics fill over a third of the book, covering hydrostatic power steering, the electro-hydraulic control valves and automatic header control, with schematics showing how oil routes to each circuit. Wiring diagrams for the cab and electrical system sit next to troubleshooting charts that take you from symptom to cause. Set separator drive belt to pulley shield clearance at 1.778 mm (0.070 inch), and torque the pulley retaining nut to 251 to 339 N·m (185 to 250 ft. lbs.). A made-up torque figure can cost you the harvest. Bookmarked and text-searchable, the PDF rides along on a phone or laptop in the cab, so the specs stay with your 1420 in the shed or halfway down a wheat field.
