    Am I nuts ,or would you consider buying sight unseen?

    Ive owned a 3444 with 3141 hoe on it since 1987. My dad bought it from original owner. It has a BD154 Diesel engine. The machine listed at Zimmermans appears to be nearly identical, albeit an older model. We bought ours with a burnt exhaust valve, we had valve replaced and head checked and...

    IH 3121 Backhoe Controls not working

    Check the pressure relief valves. I once had a piece of paper towel or shop rag stuck in the valve holding it open.

    IH 3121 Backhoe Controls not working

    On my international 3444 with a 3141 hoe, there is a push/pull valve on the right fender to select either power steering or swing cylinder. When I forget to pull it up the lift and boom cylinders will still move only if the swing valve is pulled. I would guess you may have similar valve.

    International 3444(?) serial number question

    I should add that my 3444 has two hydraulic pumps, one mounted on crank in front of radiator and one on right side of engine probably driven off cam. There is a control valve on right fender, pull up to power swing cylinders, push down for power steering.

    International 3444(?) serial number question

    splitting a 2444 with 2050 loader and 3121 backhoe

    I changed clutch in my 3444 with 3141 hoe a few yrs ago. I first dismounted backhoe attachment (4 pins and 2 hoses) and set it aside. Then put Jack stands under frame rails and removed bolts from rails to axle housing. Disconnect hydraulic hoses and wires bell housing bolts and roll rear end...

    ford 172 sleeves

    I put new sleeves in a 134, they were flush with deck. Block had counter bore to match step on top of sleeve. I presume 172 would be the same.

    Hydraulic issues with backhoe on IH 3120, need help.

    Does power steering work? On my 3444, the selector valve on fender sends power to steering or swing. I think pump on engine supplies pressure to selector valve
