Case 310G

Madison · Jun 18, 2021

Hey I just bought a Case 310G.
It will only move when I pull either brake (left or right)
It also only seems to turn left when I pull either handle
Any suggestions?

Sounds like a problem with the differential.

I have the rear cover off. I put it in first gear and release the clutch I see the left side of the differential is turning. But It will only move if I use either brake lever

Likely has no differential. The ring and pinion just after the transmission drive a solid shaft to the left and right. There are multi disc clutches on those shafts. There are band brakes that ride on a drum on each steering clutch. When pulling a turn lever, the clutch on that side is released. farther pulling should brake that track. You will likely need to pull the top cover to get at the components. A service manual is required. Jim

Ok thanks, yes thats what mine looks like.

Just to clarify. This machine should move as soon as I release the foot clutch and should stop turn when I apply the brake levers? Just trying to understand the operation Ive never ran one of these before. Thanks

No Jim there are no multi. clutch pac's in a 310G just two band brakes as it is diff. steer about like a car or pick up rear end just a slight difference in gear set up . Biggy on them is what you use for gear oil . It MUST BE MINERAL gear oil if you use reg 80-90 rear end grease you will mess up the brake bands and trust me once you do there will be no cleaning of the lining to get them to work once again and will need replaced . As for his rear end problem he has a gear issue or a shaft issue on the right side . 310 G Case dozers will NOT PIVOT turn like a normal dozer with your clutch pac and brake . I Bought a brand new 310 G back in 69 and ran the bag off it . Took on a job with it to mow 4 gas transmission line of 97miles each over ground in places a dirt bike could not go up or down on As mine had 3 point and PTO and we ran a 7 foot brush hog on it . I learned all about the steering brakes and what oil to use the HARD way .

You may be thinking of a different model, there are no clutches in the 310 traney.

If both of those brake drums rotate the differential might be alright and the axel broken or splines striped.

I do have a original parts manual for the 310 G if needed . my e mail is [email protected]

Ok makes sense, mine will only turn to the left. Would that not be a issue on the left track. The right track seems to be doing all the work..
. I was thinking possible stripped coupling to the final drive on the left
What do think??

Somebody was trying to sell 310G steering clutches. I made an assumption My bad. I had an OC2 with that, and it was a power robbing failure to turn beast. If it is turning left when either lever is pulled, there is something wrong with the differential, and the right hand finals past the differential. I think I see the spider gear shafts in the image I posted. Jim
