Case 5140 not moving

[Jonny J]

Hi guys
Was asked to look at a 5140 that im not that familiar with. When you start tractor up and select forward or reverse the tractor will move for a few seconds then it just stops driving and an orange light appears on the left hand side of dash which looks like a gear. I then dip the clutch and it will flash 6 times or sometimes just 2 times. Is this a fault code it's flashing? Any ideas much appreciated
Thanks

What year is it, has it neutral on the forward and reverse shuttle?

 

[Jonny J]

Not sure of the year but it does have a neutral on the shuttle lever

6 flashes of the warning lamp indicates no clutch pressure. Probably a faulty pressure switch on the control valve under the seat on the backend,but...........could be sticking valve,faulty solenoids......check you're getting 8 ohms resistance in the forward,reverse and modulation solenoids on that control valve. Maybe even the clutch cable needs the tiniest of adjustment or a faulty clutch pedal switch. The list can go on and on when the Maxxum develops a transmission fault.

Check there's no dirt / dust on the magnetic contacts of the shuttle lever

Ok will check these things out and get back to you

Have u tried the for/rev in all the power shifts ?

 

[Gapples]

It's the power shift enable lamp though & has nothing to do with the forward/reverse.
Good chance though of it been a pressure switch or solonoid on the power shift valve beside the hydraulic filter.
Does it do this in every power shift gear ?

 

[Jonny J]

Will double check all the power shifts. Is there four pressure switches and solenoids for each step you select?

 

[Gapples]

Yes there are, 4 switches & 4 solonoids.
They are not in order either.

 

[Gapples]

There you go.
To check the number of flashes.....the moment the lamp comes on dip the clutch pedal before touching anything else.
Then count the flashes.
The first flash can be very quick but count it.

3142 from the bottom up iirc

Has seen plates burned out on power shift. Similar symptoms. Don't recall flashing light.

it could also be the collar on the creep speed that is after slipping off.

Just an update guys. Tractor has started to work fine again without any work being done to it!! Hopefully it stays going
Thanks for all the info

Hi, have same problem here. Won't move, when you press clutch that light flashes 6 times steady. when depress feels like it wants to go, there is like kick, but still no drive. But somehow drives in 3 powershit gear, without that error light, so anyone knows what might be wrong ? where to start ? ( english is not native language).

Greetings from Romania!
Can you tell me ,please,where those magnets are located!
My 5140 powershift fails after 30-45 minutes ,when tractor is getting hot.
3 flashes on the powershift led.
If i cancel the powershift solenoids,and leave only one with a wire ,directly from the battery,i can plow in that range ,no matter how hot the tractor gets.
It works with the wire connected to every one of the 4 powershift solenoids,with the other 3 canceled.
A Case guy quoted me 600 $ for fixing some magnets on the powershift lever assembly.
Can i fix this myself?
Bad days for farming here,with the prices of fertilizers 4 times the last year s prices,and we are trying to save anything we can.
Thanks in advance!
