Case IH RBX453, RBX463 Common Problems This Manual Covers
Case IH RBX453 net wrap fails to start or skips wrapping on fresh bale p. 859
Check net brake pad clearance; spec is 2 to 4 mm (3/32 to 5/32") per page 16. Verify duckbill spring length measures 384 to 390 mm (15-1/8 to 15-3/8"). Inspect cam followers on page 889 for proper clearance. Re-thread net through the duckbill if the path is kinked or misaligned.
Manual Section: Wrapping: Net Wrapper AdjustmentsTwine tension inconsistent, bale surface shows depressions or wrap skips during tying p. 859
Adjust twine knife tension springs to a free length of 64 mm (2-1/2") per page 16. Verify twine routes correctly through all guides, the bullet, and ring. Inspect knife springs; free length should be 289 to 295 mm (11-3/8 to 11-5/8"). Walk the full twine path for kinks before each baling session.
Manual Section: Wrapping: Twine Wrapper AdjustmentsTailgate won't hold open during service, drifts closed even with lockout engaged
Test tailgate lockout engagement before working under the gate; never rely on hydraulic pressure alone. Check the troubleshooting chart for drift and internal leakage causes. Inspect the lift cylinder for bypassing seals. If drift persists with lockout confirmed engaged, verify there is no contamination in the control valve circuit.
Manual Section: Hydraulic Systems: Tailgate Lift System TroubleshootingExcessive driveline vibration after PTO hookup, joints binding or shuddering under load p. 45
Verify hitch height is 380 mm (15") so the PTO drive shaft runs at proper operating angle per page 43. Position the hitch pin directly below the PTO driveline centerline. Lower the tractor PTO shield fully after connection; a dragging safety chain will catch rotating parts and wreck the driveshaft guard fast.
Manual Section: Implement DrivelineOne or more belts slipping or jumping off track during high-density baling p. 673
Inspect all six 178 mm (7") endless belts for fraying, surface glazing, or damaged lacing. Check lacing hooks on page 690: leading end takes 44 Clipper #4 hooks, trailing end takes 45. Adjust the belt tension system for even density pressure. Clean all rolls of crop debris before chasing any tracking adjustment.
Manual Section: Pressing (Belts): Belt Failure Analysis, Tracking, and SlippagePickup misses or fails to lift crop, tine bars bent or broken across reel p. 521
Remove damaged tine bars and torque replacement finger bolts to 15 Nm (133 in.-lbs.) per page 16. Check cam follower bearings on page 536; replace any failed ones and torque them to 61 Nm (45 ft.-lbs.). If replacing the tine pipe, all components must come off the pipe before installation begins per page 546.
Manual Section: Product FeedingFrequently Asked Questions
How to reset the bale size counter on Case IH RBX453?
The manual indicates that the "CLEAR" key is used to cancel audible alarms, error messages, and to clear the daily bale count. While there isn't a specific "bale size counter reset" procedure, clearing the daily bale count is the closest related action.
What are the torque specs for the PTO drive shaft on Case IH RBX463?
The torque specification for the PTO on the gearbox is 142 Nm (105 ft.-lbs.). When installing the special bolt for the rear PTO yoke, the nut should be torqued to 142 Nm (105 ft.-lbs.).
How to reset the wrap pattern selection on Case IH RBX453?
To reset the wrap pattern selection, the controller must be cleared before entering a new pattern. This is done by pressing and holding the CLEAR key for one second. If a "0" is displayed, it indicates no custom pattern is programmed, and the controller can be programmed.
What is the torque specification for cam follower bolts on Case IH RBX463?
The torque specification for cam follower bearings is 61 Nm (45 ft.-lbs.). This applies when installing a new cam follower bearing, along with specified washers, and tightening the locknut.
