    crank case oil recommended for old d239

    Thanks to all of you! I will soon buy the filter and 5 gallons of a good diesel 15-40. It only takes about 10 quarts, but it seems more economical to buy twice that amount.

    crank case oil recommended for old d239

    Hi, Everyone's past advice has been very helpful, and my 260a tractor-loader-backhoe is running well. The crank case oil has always looked and smelled good to me, but I feel I should change it this spring. It is a Neuss d239 (or is it a Deitz?) with 5000 plus hours. It sounds great, its pretty...

    IH 260a boom swing cylinder leak fix

    This is great to read! The dissconnection is looking good. Im very interested to read about the lower nut becoming loose. I will check mine. My 260a has a LOT of free swing (left to right) in the boom. But I was assuming that this is due to a worn relationship between the large, spline cut pin...

    Screwdrivers

    My favorites lately are my DeWalt set. The grips are kinda triangular like the old Stanley style that someone mentioned. But they also added some rubber for grip. They have proven to be resistant to the various spilled liquids encountered in machine repair. Some of my precision friends have been...

    260a TLB delayed tran engagaement, is clutch adjustable?

    Jim, As usual, this is GREAT information. Sorry for the delays- other parts of life got busy. When we do the pressure testing, Im sure this information will be very helpful, and I'll probably print it out so that we are not dropping phones into hydraulic fluids! Thank Again- Christopher

    260a TLB delayed tran engagaement, is clutch adjustable?

    Red, I thank you so much. This is great information, and its nice to know what MIGHT be going wrong. Overall it seems like a strong older machine and I'm trying to "keep the faith"! I will find the part numbers for that large filter and swap that also. And yes, I will try to avoid opening up the...

    260a TLB delayed tran engagaement, is clutch adjustable?

    Hello Jim and Barnyard, and anyone who might follow this! My thread is old, but if anyone is following it I wanted to update: Professional mechanic came to look at machine last week. He said that clutch pedal felt funny. The clutch travel action, and the FW/REV shuttle are both adjustable by...

    New Master Brake Cylinders on IH684 (my260a)

    Quick post from phone. Might help others. I pulled the clutch/brake/brake unit in order to change the two MCs. They were quite impossible to reach in a 260a TLB, due to their location. I ordered the new MCs from FREY company, who states tgat they fit about a dozen IH tractors. One...

    Could Lucas booster help old hydraulic clutch?

    Doug, Thanks for your comments and your gear shifting info. My old and neglected machine seems to be stuck in first, which is kinda okay with me for now. The shift lever, which shows three possible gears, is on third, but it behaves like it's in first. This is probably another topic! Its...

    Could Lucas booster help old hydraulic clutch?

    I thank you all for the replies! And Steve, I have the manuals now, so I will check the clutch dump pedal for correct action, and the fw/rev selector while I am down there. These two linkages seem to go to the same valve body spool area, and I can adjust them both. I'm glad to hear that some...

    Could Lucas booster help old hydraulic clutch?

    I am the new custodian of a 1978(?) IH260a TLB, which I am told is built on the foundation of a Case/IH 684 tractor. The 260a is uncommon, and some smart folks on this site have called it an orphan, with hard to find parts and mechanics who turn them away. Its true. Many things are strong...

    No 260A on list?

    I hope you manage to close up all (or most!) of the leakage. My Those large and short swing piston housings are pretty odd. But if you can get them working well again, then I guess they make sense. My boom swing cylinders do not leak much yet. Last week a skilled mechanic was looking at my...

    260a TLB delayed tran engagaement, is clutch adjustable?

    Hello Barnyard, I just wanted to thank you again. This weekend I will try to pull out the master brake cylinder assembly. I am hoping that I actually have a braking problem where one brake is dragging so badly that I, being very new to real tractors, thought it was low torque. Yes, it has...
