    IH no. 2 Subsoiler

    Had one of the Deere models similar, but on rubber. No real depth control as it got sucked in really well, then was a real problem getting it out of the ground again. Sold it quite a few years ago.

    H rear main seal tips / advice ?

    Something to check while you're at it: some of these retainers get warped over time and then don't seal against the engine when things are reassembled (voice of experience speaking here). Only takes a couple of minutes to check that the gasket surfaces are flat and it may save you having to...

    Fast Hitch Prongs Question

    Assuming you have the standard IH Fasthitch on your 350, the spacing on the hitch corresponds to the standard 26 Cat. 1 3-point specification, although lots of equipment doesn't conform to the standard. Some Cat. 2 equipment is set up for 26 spacing, although most is set up for the 32...

    McCormick Side-delivery rake parts

    Really looking for list of sources for such parts, which is what I had before. Rather than posting a shopping list.

    McCormick Side-delivery rake parts

    Need a few things for my old steel-wheel 4-bar McCormick rake. Copied a post a few years back with some suggestions, but now can't find it (of course). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Droopy hydraulics on Farmall 350

    Guess I'm lost concerning what you have. The picture D Slater posted shows the usual setup for the Fast Hitch (what you're calling the three point). It used a different check valve than what I indicated above. The check valve I suggested is designed to bolt directly to the IH control valve...

    Droopy hydraulics on Farmall 350

    IH's Touch-Control valves were never intended to be positive shutoff valves. For load-holding they added a cross-check valve on the load side of the cylinder as indicated by others on this thread; has to be plumbed correctly as also indicated by others. IH part number is 363452R. A Google...

    Farmall 450 priority valve

    I agree mostly with Jim that parts 7 through 10 in the diagram control the hydraulic pressure going to the steering -- but only in a properly working priority valve (or if one of the hydra-touch valves is in operation). From what TXZane is describing, the major problem is almost certainly wear...

    H - starting system...

    First place I look and often the problem with old cars, tractors, whatever, is the connection between the GROUND cable and the frame -- often gets rusty or corroded, and seldom gets a look or cleaned. Also, what size is this cable -- big cable to the starter doesn't do you much good if the...

    Ready to split 300u...

    Been quite a while since I split my 300U, but some observations and suggestions which may be helpful: The difference between the 169 and 175 cu in engines is only in the size of the cylinders and associated parts. The rear main seal is the same on both. The seal retainer for the rear main on...

    International 340 hydraulic problem

    Does your 3 point cylinder control valve have a cross-check valve attached to it? If so, it's possible the hoses to the cylinder need to be switched.

    300 utility tractors

    The 300U typically came with a provision for a use of a toplink along with the IH fast hitch, making it somewhat of a hybrid system. The IH row-crop tractors of that era did not have a provision for a toplink, but it could be added (I've done so on my 450). By using fast hitch prongs plus a...

    Gearbox lube for McCormick Rake

    Hi, everyone, I'm in the process of rehabbing a McCormick "Enclosed Gear Tractor Side Delivery Rake (4-bar)", the old, old one with steel wheels. Got a copy of the original manual, but it leaves a lot to be desired and doesn't specify anything regarding what to put into the gearbox. Cleaned...

    300U Loader and Bucket Leak Down

    Glad to hear you found the check valves are available. I don't think you need to worry about raising your seat since the hoses from the top-mounted check valve should end up pointing outboard, not inboard.

    300U Loader and Bucket Leak Down

    The cross-check valves can be mounted either on the top or on the bottom of the OEM control valves. For your side-by-side valves in the front gang you would put the check valve for the outboard control valve on the bottom with a short 90-degree fitting on one or both of the inboard-facing...
