    Dexta brake shoe drill pattern

    I found a leaking rear axle seal on my Dexta so purchased new brake shoes. I carefully chose a set listed as "Fits Dexta", but the parts I received from Tractor Parts ASAP did not have the proper mounting holes. The overall dimensions matched my original shoes, so I measured my originals to...

    Coolant flush

    Your notched PVC pipe reminds me of the petcock tool I made. I started with a spark plug socket supplied in some car's toolkit, which is a steel tube with a hex pressed into one end. I notched the hex end to fit the petcock ears and brazed an old 3/8" socket into the other end. I have...

    Governor thrust bearing

    Messick's bearing has gone up to a cool $100 in 2022. Looks like Walt's Tractors/Ungers UT1185 has become the price leader at $42...

    hydraulic lift control valve adjustment tool

    I only know the Dexta, so not familiar with this tool. Perhaps guidance from [i:7d5fa5b915]Ford 600 800 Tractor Hydraulic Lift Adjustment[/i:7d5fa5b915] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIgDX6L7ST0 which appears to not use special tools, just special measurements.

    PTO shield - mystery missing part

    As the OP, I want to thank everyone for inputs. The close-up pictures with the green tractor make it really clear, and helped me understand the overall view provided by the red tractor. The material in-between provide historic perspective why the slot fell into disuse. It also reinforces a quote...

    hydraulic lift control valve adjustment tool

    I found this post researching hydraulic adjustment for my Fordson Dexta. The Dexta uses tools N-503 and NCA-502 for hydraulic adjustments. The Dexta shop manual provides alternate procedure/measurement when these tools are not available. It appears N-503 positions the lift arm 1/2" above the...

    PTO shield - mystery missing part

    I have seen numerous photos of a tractor-side PTO shield and they consistently show a slot and clip with nothing attached. I am attaching a photo of my International 444 to illustrate the feature, but I have seen it across makes/models. I assume the bracket is supposed to show a plate to cover...

    hood for Farmall H turbo

    This message is a reply to an archived post by rustyfarmall on September 03, 2011 at 08:26:30. The original subject was Re: Farmall H turbo with consideration of adding a bubble to cover all the turbo hardware above the motor. Back in the day, hotrodders like my dad would use headlight shells...

    IH 444 alternator swap, Delco 10DN to 10SI

    I would agree, based on the apparent age and the aluminum dust that came out of the alternator when drifting the pivot bolt. A huge help was that the transition bracket between the alternator and the engine block unbolted easily so I could work on the pivot bolt on the bench rather than on the...

    IH 444 alternator swap, Delco 10DN to 10SI

    My mixmaster IH 444 (early 444 engine/trans with 2444 body and loader) came with a minimal electrical system and original Delco 10DN alternator. After rewiring it to restore lighting and instrumentation, I figured out the alternator was not charging. Diagnosis suggested starting with the...

    IH 444 brake lock fitment

    To JimB2: I have the dry element air cleaner. My best conclusion is that I have an early 444 engine/transmission mated to 2444 Utility body / loader, with miscellaneous bits as needed to make a running tractor. To all: I obtained an early-style brake lever and tooth bar from JP Tractors...

    IH 444 differential lock operation

    Thanking you-all for guidance, I have been doing fine with differential lock. Most frequent method is stand on lock while in neutral, getting ready for next move, and the lock smoothly glides in with clutch and gear. Simple foot pressure keeps it in place until time to foot for braking. I...

    IH 444 brake lock fitment

    Between the two of you, I think we are sleuthing out that my example is supposed to have the European brake lock. As JimB2 points out, the crosswise shaft extends beyond the shaft shown in the last yellow 3414 picture. Enclosed is a picture of my LH brake assembly (more clear than what I...

    IH 444 brake lock fitment

    For Jeff Phillips: Ah, the notch in my floorboard appears a bit smaller. It allows a clearance around something that looks like a drain plug, not a mounting bolt, that is not apparent in your photo. Perhaps the brake lock mounts to the bolt used to support the floorboard? and for...

    IH 444 brake lock fitment

    Thanks for the hint, I deduce I have the US assembled version based on some parts mentioned on a UK spares site that don't look like mine...here is a view of my RH floorboard with no brake lock in sight...
