Case 1470 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Case 1470 transmission bearing grinding noise and gear jumping in working range p. 289
Remove the transmission and measure bearing preload on the Input, Speed Control Idler, Intermediate, and Output Shafts. Preload must read 4 to 8 inch pounds (page 289); anything outside that range means the bearing is shot or improperly shimmed. Disassemble per the Transmission Service section, inspect bearing races and gear teeth for spalling, replace worn components, and reset preload before reassembly.
Manual Section: Transmission Service & AdjustmentsTransmission jams in two gears simultaneously, only disengages at crawling speed
Drain the transmission and pull the shift linkage cover. Inspect the shift forks and synchronizer assemblies for bent fingers or worn blocking rings. Adjust external linkage per before condemning internal parts. If binding persists after linkage correction, disassemble the shift mechanism and replace damaged synchronizer components.
Manual Section: Transmission Service & AdjustmentsFront steering relief valve piston sticks or spring falls out during operation p. 223
Remove the front steering relief valve and disassemble the valve body. Inspect all O-rings for cuts or swelling and replace the full O-ring kit. Check the piston bore and piston OD for burrs; stone any high spots until the piston slides freely by hand. Verify system relief pressure after reassembly falls within 1650 to 1750 PSI (page 223).
Manual Section: Steering System Service & AdjustmentRocker arm shaft clearance out of spec causing valve train noise or uneven idle p. 15
Remove the valve covers and measure rocker arm shaft OD with a micrometer. Acceptable shaft OD is .872" to .873" (page 15); shafts below that range are worn and must be replaced. After installing new shafts, adjust tappet clearance with the engine hot to .020" (page 13) and torque cylinder head bolts to 200 to 210 ft. lbs. (page 24) if the head was disturbed.
Manual Section: Cylinder Head and ValvesHydraulic system pressure erratic or oil delivery drops under load
Check hydraulic fluid level first, then pull the hydraulic pump for bench testing using the disassembly and inspection steps starting. Measure internal clearances against spec and look for scored wear plates or cracked seals. Verify remote hydraulic system relief valve pressure is set to 2050 to 2250 PSI (page 7); adjust or replace the relief valve before condemning the pump.
Manual Section: Hydraulic Pump Service & TroubleshootingFrequently Asked Questions
What are the recommended service intervals?
Service intervals vary by component. For the air cleaner, the dust cup should be checked daily or every 10 hours, and the element serviced when the red signal appears. The hydraulic reservoir inlet filter and transmission oil filter should be changed after the first 20 hours, then every 1000 hours, and the breather element every 240 hours.
What fluids and capacities does this machine require?
The cooling system capacity is 40 U.S. Quarts, and the engine oil filter capacity is 1 U.S. Quart. The fuel tank holds 100 U.S. Gallons, requiring Number 2 Diesel Fuel with specific properties like a minimum API Gravity of 30. Brake fluid should be 70 R1 Heavy Duty, and planetary axles require 3 Quarts of SAE 90EP oil.
How to troubleshoot engine won't start?
Troubleshooting an engine that won't start involves checking several key areas. This includes verifying the correct injection pump, proper engine 'Run-In', and appropriate lubricating oil viscosity in both the engine and transmission. Other potential issues are plugged air cleaners, partially plugged fuel tank breathers, closed fuel filter bleed valves, lack of fuel to injectors due to plugged filters or air/water, incorrect fuel pump timing, improper valve tappet clearance, faulty injectors, loss of compression, or misadjusted fuel shut-off control.
How do you fix case 1470 transmission bearing grinding noise and gear jumping in working range?
Remove the transmission and measure bearing preload on the Input, Speed Control Idler, Intermediate, and Output Shafts. Preload must read 4 to 8 inch pounds (page 289); anything outside that range means the bearing is shot or improperly shimmed. Disassemble per the Transmission Service section, inspect bearing races and gear teeth for spalling, replace worn components, and reset preload before reassembly.
