Case David 770–1175 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Case 970 tractor pulling down while operating with a strong smell of burning brakes
Inspect the master cylinder and ensure bore to piston clearance does not exceed 0.007 inches. Disconnect the upper pressure line from the hydraulic pump and connect a flow meter as shown on page 60. Verify system flow is 8 gpm at no pressure.
Manual Section: Brakes p. 60Erratic or slow steering response with hard steering and complete loss of power assist
Inspect the steering linkage components for binding or excessive play. Tighten the steering column outer jam nuts to 30-35 ft.-lbs. as specified on page 10. If hard steering persists, examine the steering column pivot studs and torque them to 25-30 in.-lbs.
Manual Section: Front System p. 10Power shift transmission slipping under load or complete inability to shift between gear ranges
Perform a pressure test on the power shift circuit to identify internal leakage. Review the hydraulic schematic on page 39 to locate the correct test ports. If removing the assembly for overhaul, torque the engine to clutch housing 3/4-inch nuts to 300-325 ft.-lbs.
Manual Section: Power Shift Clutch p. 39Noticeable engine power loss under heavy load with restricted fuel flow or sluggish acceleration
Drain the fuel system and inspect the primary and secondary filters. Replace the diesel fuel filter units each 600 hours as recommended on page 26. Test the injector nozzles for proper spray pattern and verify opening pressure is between 3150-3250 psi.
Manual Section: Injector Nozzles Testing & Overhaul p. 28Frequently Asked Questions
How to address the filter warning light on Case 1090?
