    IH 3444 Hydraulic problem

    Previous post was about the failure of the hydraulic implements to function. Was pretty sure that the problem was air in the system but couldn't identify the leak. Pressured the case and squirted soapy water looking for bubbles to no avail. Turns out the problem may have been caused by an...

    IH3444 Hydraulic Problem

    And then it stopped working in the middle of what I thought was just another reprime. This is serious business so have made many calls and have engaged a few guys and the latest strategy is to pull the filler pipe that also holds the vent and pump the case up with pressurized air and look for...

    IH3444 Hydraulic Problem

    Got the IH3444 hydraulics working this morning, still having to cycle the bucket a lot to bleed out the yet to be determined problem, and it functioned full strength for a while. Loaded 6 bucket loads of 1 1/2 drain rock into the newly serviceable 1963ish GMC 4000 dump truck after Mitch and I...

    IH3444 Hydraulic Problem

After the first prime of 1/2 gal to overflow, I installed a new filter and cycled several times with no joy. Second prime took about 3/8 gal before...

    IH3444 Hydraulic Problem

    The entire reservoir is in the manual tranny housing and everything shares the same fluid. Pulled the filter today and it looked fine but will install a new one tomorrow after priming its lines and a backhoe line cap. The fluid did look a little milky for reasons I don't know. Even if there...

    IH3444 Hydraulic Problem

    Thanks, Bob. I'm still learning how to navigate this forum so hope this gets posted as a reply: The Main problem is that I don't have any accurate maintenance manuals to tell me what's what, where it is let alone how to fix it. Bought a Jensales IH3444 Service manual from YT and the only...

    IH3444 Hydraulic Problem

    Sorry for the short post and delayed reply, but I'm not only dealing with aging Tonka toys but my 96 year old Mom. Just got back from a 4 hour drive gluing her situation back together for a while and preparing her thanksgiving dinner. Maintaining and sustaining these treasures is a noble and...

    What is this implement?

    Sorry for interjecting a nonsequiter here, but I'm a new guy who just registered and tried to post a new thread about urgent hydraulic problems with my IH3444. The website hasn't yet allowed me to start a new post, so for the time being please reply if you know the system.
