    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    Yup, gonna use the cheap oils for that. Will have to figure out how to get all the old stuff out of cylinders later After I got most of the fluid drained I realized the filter came undone and has just been sitting on the bottom of the tank, looks like it is bulged and the little screen is torn...

    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    Yup the only reason I got the cheap junk was the local tractor place had it under a sign that said "Hy-Tran" so I figured it was not just just going to be garbage, after looking at that datasheet I realized it was a load of crap lol. Especially when I see the bit about equipment requiring...

    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    Local tractor place had this listed as hy-tran, grabbed a bucket. I may be wrong but I think this stuff may not meet any standards https://starfire.com/products/hydraulic-oil/mef-3/ Could work to use for a while and then drain out I suppose, unless it is total grabage

    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    That utf is the cheapest other than "agricultural fluids" in the yellow can, which my research led me to see this, and started my wild goose chase lol "It may also serve as a compression fluid in non-critical applications such as wood splitters and many other stationary applications. Not...

    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    Yeah original plan was just to get hy-tran and pour it in, and after more research I'm coming back to the idea as well. but https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/vp-racing-lubricants-ultra-j20a-plus-utility-tractor-fluid-5-gal-vp2040114 "Its viscosity is comparable to a SAE 20 crankcase...

    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    Next fun thing, I noticed the hydraulic fluid was low and looked like chocolate milk (yum), so I drained it and was going to replace it but I saw this... Motor oil? SAE 10-w? I see tractor supply has some SAE 20 but research tells me that may be cheap garbage. Then I see ISO-32 may be the...

    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    Ended up getting enough bite on the nut flipping it around and putting it back on, lifted machine on outriggers, smacked the sprocket with deadblow, get another half turn, repeat. I found a local place for the devcon, but prob won't muck with that till spring.

    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    Thanks Dave, do you know where I'd find a contact for loctite for that, or an example thread where someone repairs this? I figure just pump it in there and pray, but there may be more to it :-) .

    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    Cleaning the gunk out of the cap did the trick for that problem. I probably should pull the block off and do a real cleaning someday...

    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    Forgetting the engine/sprocket thing. One of the hydraulic cylinders does not want to move, and the spool lever would not go all the way, so after looking at the manual I pulled off the bottom cap and... Think I found the problem, now I'm gonna clean that out.

    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    You may have called it, after getting the other nut off and pounding the sprockets in with a deadblow here is the difference in spline teeth 1 Pic of good side followed by 3 of bad side. I think the shaft is probably bad and the sprocket is probably bad, so maybe just find something to fill the...

    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    Alright shot some more video especially on how the nuts fit, and also some quick and dirty measurements of the difference in final drive shafts. Looks like the loose one is about 80 thousanths smaller than the other one. Also noticed some more welding/grinding on the loose side's sprocket and...

    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    Yeah, that was a really bad idea for a repair. It probably just made things worse. yeah that is the good thing, looks like the splines are fine as far as I can see. Also seems like the nut is not the big issue as it threads onto the other shaft tightly, whereas the other nut is also loose on...

    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    @Tinkerer If you mean the 2 bolts in the nut, those are not sheared off, the thing sheared off is a bolt they tapped into the center hole of final drive shaft, that they used with a brace to hold the nut in place. I may shoot another video; I'm thinking if I can get the sprocket to go in...

    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    @Tinkerer Yeah I bought a pdf of what purports to be the 310 service, op and parts manual though the service manual does not go into the depth I'd like, guessing people back then didn't need as much hand holding. I think the nuts are right looking at parts diagram, can see the 2 holes...

    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    Did an online thing with Service Manual, Operators and Parts Manual. Service manual does not go into as much detail as I like. They are like $13 on spamazon, figure it'd help me set Idle and make sure governor works. ___________ Sprocket shaft is main priority for me, we got the nut off the...

    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    Howdy Kyfarm, it does run, but needs some work, looks like engine is idling high, and the track-sprocket nut fell off. Someone had bodged it back on, and I don't want to move it until I get that sorted... Took a video to document repairs. I did not have a script, so it is a bit rambly...

    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    Howdy all, I bought a Case 310C. New to owning a crawler, wondering if there are any foibles or things I should look for? Or heck any stories about using these things? Was hoping to find a pdf of the operator/service manual, but no luck so far.
