Hey anyone with experience on these old tractors?
All of a sudden last week our old 970 while running a grain vac cracked a liner, filled the crankcase with coolant and got hot. Pulled the pan and found it leaking on #6, pulled liner, found it cracked down by the bottom around the top O ring slot. Now these are aftermarket parts I put in about 9 years ago with only about 1100hrs on. The tractor has ran fine for years and its doesn't get worked to hard anymore. Just wondering what the cause maybe, or if its just a faulty part. Case dealer tells me I should have used an OEM over haul kit:D! Says he's seen them break on the bottom but not very often. Typically if they crack its at the top of the liner or they get ate out from age (poor antifreeze) on old ones etc.
