    IH 240 Utility - The Saga Continues

    You did a great job, and it gave me just enough information that I was able to hunt down the proper location that needed my attention. I will be replacing the supply hoses today and seeing if I can get the lift to raise the bush hog up off the ground.

    IH 240 Utility - The Saga Continues

    Hello everyone, It's been a while. Tornados ran through the area and we sustained some damages but mostly all is well. Downed trees have been cut up and removed, fences mended and all livestock is doing well. For those of you that remember the hydraulics nightmare, that is what brings me...

    IH 240U Wiring Diagram?

    You're the best. Thank you very much for all your help. We had some tornadoes run through the area last night so today has been an "up before the sun" cutting up downed trees, repairing downed fences and comforting the animals kind of day. Luckily, everyone/everything is alive and well with no...

    IH 240U Wiring Diagram?

    Oh man! I hope you're alright. Don't worry about getting a reply quickly, I don't mind waiting. After all, I'm the one asking for someone else to take time out of their life to help me out. Rest up as much as you can. One thing I do not miss is harsh winters. I did not drain it just yet, while...

    IH 240U Wiring Diagram?

    Alright well, after working on this thing all day today I've made a stunning lack of progress. I got the bush hog hooked up which was fantastic, but I can't get the hydraulic arms to lift the front end up off the ground so I'm just digging trenches when I move. I read somewhere that the arms...

    IH 240U Wiring Diagram?

    I didn't think that would be a possibility. Granted, I know nothing of tractors or most automobiles in general but I do have a basic understanding of electrical systems and some wiring. I did get the tractor started up again. Just had to replace the battery cable with the proper cable and do...

    IH 240U Wiring Diagram?

    Yes that is correct the orange wire goes to the solenoid. I have to redo that wiring, and yes I know about the butt connector, apparently the person who did this work did not or maybe they just didn't have one. The 2g red is what they were using for the positive battery cable which was stripped...

    IH 240U Wiring Diagram?

    Alright here are some pictures as I said I would upload. Now you too can scratch your head and see why this is a problem. The first picture is where I found what I think is the hydraulic filter, the second is what it looks like when I removed it and the aforementioned liquid comes out...

    IH 240U Wiring Diagram?

    I ran into another issue while changing the battery cable (I probably bought the wrong one) so I'm not uploading photos tonight. When I removed what I believe to be the hydraulic filter (it was located on the right side of the tractor [if you're sitting on it] just below where the hydra wave...

    IH 240U Wiring Diagram?

    I'm sure I am making this all out to be more complicated than it has to be. Is there a wiring diagram for this tractor? Do the hydraulics even operate electrically? I can frame a house, but this is all foreign to me. I cleaned out what I thought was the hydraulic filter, but no luck getting them...

    IH 240U Hydraulics Not Working Right

    Well, that's part of the risk I took buying such an old piece of equipment. I knew that, so it's no big deal. I will either figure something out, or I won't, but I'd much rather figure something out to make this usable. Here are the pictures I took, hopefully this helps to shed some light. I...

    IH 240U Hydraulics Not Working Right

    Lots of information here to process. I really appreciate this community. I'm going to take some photos and upload them so people can get a better idea of what I see when I'm looking at things. I was going to use pictures I already uploaded but realized that my 3rd arm was blocking view of the...

    IH 240U Hydraulics Not Working Right

    Hello all, me again. When I bought this tractor the hydraulics whined like crazy but the hitch raised and lowered no problem. I found out that the fluid was super low, so I bought a 5 gal and put about 3 to 3.5 gallons in it. The whining subsided for the most part, and I've finally got the...

    IH 240 - Implements won't fit?

    By any chance do you have a link for where I can find those? I would love to upgrade, but my google skills are not great.

    IH 240 - Implements won't fit?

    Awesome! I went out today just before dark and reversed one pin on each implement. It was a good thing I did as the bolt for one of the pins on the bush hog was completely loose. If that does not solve the problem I will do exactly what you have suggested. Funny enough, Mr. Wilson, the man that...
