[AT] DC Case

[Gene Dotson]

    John;

    The oil filter was an option on most Case tractors of that era. It was a 
partial flow, or more commonly called a sludge trap. It only filtered a part 
of the oil from the oil pressure relief valve and dumped back into the 
crankcase. Most of the debris from the flywheel area would be in the recess 
in the bottom of the housing, making draining the clutch housing more 
important.

    I have always been amazed at the ability of the Case engines to tolerate 
all the debris from the clutch wear and other wear parts. Cleaning all the 
deposits from the crankcase should be a must do task on these old tractors. 
When I cleaned the crankcase on my LA, I must have gotten a gallon of sludge 
from it. When I pulled the sleeves, I think I got close to 2 gallons from 
the water jacket.

                    Gene
