Thanks for the advice and the pics. That looks like a good way to go with it. The original tank at the bottom of the radiator is still available from Case, but it's over $400.

I wonder if the trans warmed up faster with the original oil cooler in the radiator...do you notice any long warm up time (before it moves in cold weather).

So...if I can find an oil cooler that can handle up to 300 p.s.i., I think that's the way to go.

Mel, thanks for the 'how to' for draining the converter, never would have stumbled upon that one.

Frank, I called the guy I got my hoe from and he said they got that cooler from Oreilly's Auto Parts. I am going to town this afternoon I'll stop by and see if my local has a reference.

Frank, Oreilly's can get it. They didn't have any in the warehouse so I guess it's a special order kind of thing. So if they can get any other major chain shouldn't have too much trouble getting one. I believe it was listed as an engine oil cooler. Good Luck

Case trans' use Case TCH ( transmission Convetor Hydraulic) fluid. Amalie also makes a really good oil called ALL-TRAC 245. The ALL-TRAC is alittle on the thick side for really cold areas, but it works fine here in most of New Hampshire. If you end up running any kind of synthetic fluid, you'll probobly find some new leaks that you didn't know about before.

I WOULD NOT RECOMEND changing to synthetic oil in a used machine. I put it in my dodge cummins with about 90,000 miles on it and it seeped oil out of every gasket.I changed back to rotella and it stopped not completely but a whole better than with the synthetic. synthetic is fine in a new engine . chuck jacobs

RE help

Could be that the pickup tube is partially clogged, I know someone who had one where this was the cause. You have to take a bit of the machine apart to access it however.
