I just picked up a 1816 Case to fix up a little. It is not a B or a C. It still has the original Tecumseh right now. Not running currently so keep that in mind.... As I go through the machine a bit at a time I have found a curious thing. The wells that contain the drive chains and gears are full of watery muck!! The machine has a full belly pan with NO access or drain holes. There are no holes between the drive wells and the pump/valve area in the chassis. How are these supposed to drain or stay dry? I am thinking of cutting some small holes on the bottom to drain them now and in the future. Water in and water out. Am I crazy or shouldn't there be a way to either keep water/debris out or drain these areas? On a side note, all Case parts manuals can be seen at www.casece.com , click Search for Parts, then click Launch Parts Catalog Looking forward to any responses to my first post here!!
