    Rear Rims for IH 350 Utility

    Thanks for all the great advice. I will look into the rims. They are not leaking, but looks like they may at some point. Great idea on the exhaust pipe and muffler, thanks again. More to follow.

    Rear Rims for IH 350 Utility

    Are you anywhere near Massachusetts Old? There are a couple of welders in my area. I did not realize they could be fixed. Thanks for your thoughts.

    Rear Rims for IH 350 Utility

    I own a 1957 International Harvester Model 350 Utility. I am in need of rear rims for the tires. I have attached a couple of pictures for you to see what I have. I am having a difficult time finding these rims. I believe the part number is 36346R92, but I am not certain. I would rather have used...

    Steering Issue With International Harvester Model 350U

    Well I have soaked the area for a couple of days with the PB Blaster and I can't move the plug. I do not seem to have the correct wrench and can't get a good grip. I will continue to try to remove the plug, but do not want to strip it. Any thought?

    Steering Issue With International Harvester Model 350U

    Thanks for the reply. I am new to owning a tractor and appreciate your thoughts on a penetrating oil. Had not even given it a thought, so it was not obvious to me. I will grab a bottle and give it a try. Thank you!

    Steering Issue With International Harvester Model 350U

    I might be needing the steering rack that you have. Does it fit a Model 350 Utility? Thanks.

    Steering Issue With International Harvester Model 350U

    Well that plug is stuck for sure. It seems pretty well rusted in. Any thoughts as to how to actually remove without stripping it? I have been spraying WD-40 a couple of times a day and trying to unscrew, but will not move at all. I assume this may not be very good news for my power steering...

    Steering Issue With International Harvester Model 350U

    I took a look at what you are talking about and found what I believe is the plug? In the first picture you will see this plug. It is rusted on and I will try WD-40 to loosen. In the second picture you will see the hydraulics that I thought ran this power steering? I assume that once I open...

    Steering Issue With International Harvester Model 350U

    That does not sound too good. I will take a look at to see if there is a plug as you suggest. I bought this tractor two Falls ago and the steering was not working for the previous owner. It has power steering to the right, but not the left. I thought it was hitched up to the hydraulics on...

    Steering Issue With International Harvester Model 350U

    My tractor is a 1957 International Harvester Model 350 Utility. I am having issues with the steering on it. The steering works on hydraulics and steers fine to the right, but is very difficult to turn to the left. It can be done, but really hard. I had a local guy that was able to get this...

    Can't Start International Harvester Model 350??

    Well now I am really confused!! Finally had some time with a friend of mine that is a mechanic in my local area. We gave the tractor a full tune up. We changed the plugs, gaped the plugs, New plug wires, new distributor cap, new rotor, new points, new condenser, and a new wire from the coil...

    Can't Start International Harvester Model 350??

    Thanks Jim for the detailed directions, just what I need:) Do you know of any books that might be at the Tractors For Dummies level? I have a shop manual, but it seems over my head:( I will follow your directions and test as you suggest. I watched several you tube videos last night and did...

    Can't Start International Harvester Model 350??

    Good grief!! That is what I thought someone would say. Believe it or not but the previous owner was a mechanic. A friend of mine locally told me that I needed to be extra careful as I move through this tractor:) The problem is that I am a rookie, wet behind the ears to say. I am willing...

    Can't Start International Harvester Model 350??

    I forgot to mention that 3 of the spark plugs were Autolite # 3116 and the other was a Champion D16? Not sure if that would matter. It has started and run well lately until this most recent issue.
