Case IH Farmall 40/45/50 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Case IH Farmall 40, 45, 50 hydrostatic transmission losing power or overheating under heavy load. p. 416
Inspect the transmission cooler fins and clean out any debris. Check the charge pump trochoid rotor side clearance, which must be between 0.02 and 0.03 mm (0.0007 and 0.001 in.) as shown on page 448. Replace the high pressure relief valves if the pressure setting is too low.
Manual Section: Hydrostatic TransmissionEngine stalling with white exhaust smoke during cold start or completely failing to turn over.
Test the injection nozzle valve opening pressure. Verify the pressure reaches exactly 147 bar (2150 psi) according to the specifications on page 204. Check the fuel injection pump timing and adjust it to 20 to 22 degrees before top dead center to resolve the cold start issue.
Manual Section: Engine (General)Brake system slipping when carrying heavy implements or completely lacking rear stopping power. p. 558
Remove the rear axle housing to access the brake assembly. Inspect all 3 brake discs for excessive wear or glazing, as specified on page 558. Replace the entire disc pack if the friction material is worn down past the standard limits. Refill the transmission with fresh fluid.
Manual Section: BrakesHydraulic lift not raising fully or rear implement rises extremely slowly after rebuilding the pump. p. 586
Perform a system relief valve pressure test as directed on page 586. Clean or replace the restricted sump screen filter if the implement rises too slowly. Inspect the lift cylinder, which has an 80 mm (3.155 in.) diameter according to page 572, and replace any leaking internal seals.
