    New to me CIH 895, I'm looking for information sources.

    It had the Operators manual with it. The CNHI site has been helpful as well. It's a lot newer than anything else of mine.

    MF 184-4 three-point hitch not working -HELP!!!!!

    I apologize for not getting back to this sooner. My Dad was diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer around that time and things got lost in the shuffle. If I remember correctly, I overfilled the transmission and headed down a steep hill. That caused the suction line between the transmission and...

    MF 184-4

    Yes, It's a common reservoir. The fill point is the hexagonal plug/dipstick on the front right corner of the transmission cover. A helpful trick: When I add/change the fluid. I set a 5-gallon bucket on the seat and use a siphon hose. I use one of the store-bought hoses with the marble check...

    Ever Hear of a Broken Points Spring?

    I've had more than one of these failures happen. Any of the ones that didn't happen to me, Someone I know had happen. and most all of us had an extra set of points, condenser and a few tools in the glove box. When Ford went to electronic ignitions, I kept a spare module.

    International 340 Hydraulic Filter?

    The 340, row-crop and utility versions, were very popular with the Ohio Department of Transportation and were equipped about every combination of options of hydraulics. I have an IH 340 utility equipped with the 12 gpm pump, 3-point hitch, and power steering. No live PTO or T/A. But it uses the...

    Re-routed fuel line on 860

    My '55 860 has the same issue. A previous owner re-routed the 1/4" fuel line around the front of the engine. In my case, I still have the problem of boiling gasoline. The radiator is pretty beat up. I also replaced the 180-degree F. thermostat with the specified 160 deg. F. thermostat. and...

    Repairing rims with J.B. Weld type stuff?

    Yes, these had Calcium in them. However, the tube was intact. The thinnest place, around 1/8" is, of course, at the stem hole, an area about 2"x 2". Structurally, the rims are sound. The tractor in question sat for several years and lost pressure in the tires through the valve stem. The...

    Repairing rims with J.B. Weld type stuff?

    I have some rims that are rust pitted and have some thin spots. I was wondering if anyone here had tried using some sort of steel putty as a filler/reinforcement. If so, how well did it work?

    656 gear drive shifter issues

    I wound up soaking the moving parts with lots of penetrating oil, and a good bit of hammering. As Barnyard Engineering said, it is difficult to get lubricant into it, but it can be done. Attack it from all directions. pull the battery, go in from underneath. You're onto something with items...
