    IH 300 U Engine to Bellhousing Issues

    That's a great idea!!! I won't have to mess around with a small engine/hydro pump. I just got a 30 foot dual axle camper frame w/leveling jacks on each corner. I can modify the trailer to connect via 3 point and retain stability vs. using a standard ball hitch. Thanks @BarnyardEngineering, much...

    IH 300 U Engine to Bellhousing Issues

    Appreciate the info, thanks. I was a car mechanic in a previous life but hydraulics are new to me.

    IH 300 U Engine to Bellhousing Issues

    I'll have to look into that. I was thinking of extending the levers on the spools to give me a little more speed control. I've been really trying to figure out how to make this work. I've been toying with the idea of making the backhoe into a self-powered, towable unit...but I'm not sure if I...

    IH 300 U Engine to Bellhousing Issues

    Yes, completely agree...hence why I moved it about a foot closer. Here's a newer image of backhoe actually up on the tractor. I could probably transport it without the bucket and arm attached to the backhoe. Then use the loader to pick up the bucket and arm....but that would be a huge pain. When...

    IH 300 U Engine to Bellhousing Issues

    Actually, I was very surprised how well the hydros worked on the backhoe. I had to ease into the level when moving it or the outriggers would slam up/down. I was able to get almost a full bucket in one scoop. The PTO on the 300U took it like a champ. Cheap spools though but I couldn't turn it...

    IH 300 U Engine to Bellhousing Issues

    Yeah, I was a little over ambitious with this setup (bought them separately). I think they still be useful albeit not together.

    IH 300 U Engine to Bellhousing Issues

    It was definitely neglected and in rough shape when I got it. In my reply to @used red MN, I shared images from a video where someone else had threaded rods in their 300U. I agree that it's definitely the wrong fastener for the job. Those bolts are a crucial structural component. As for the...

    IH 300 U Engine to Bellhousing Issues

    Thanks for the reply and sharing your knowledge. I'm interested in what you said about the side channels on the row crop model (I'll see if I can find some images online). I recently bought the tractor from some kid that inherited it with some land he got from his grandfather. He wasn't very...

    IH 300 U Engine to Bellhousing Issues

    I have a custom built backhoe attachment for my tractor but I'm running into some issues...as I may be putting too much weight on it. I did make some adjustments to where the 3point connects to the backhoe so that it gets better leverage than in the picture. I moved the backhoe about a foot...

    56 International 300 U Hydraulic Questions

    Thanks for the reply, that definitely helps. Sorry, I meant Fast Hitch...not 3point. I'm just so used to calling it that. I tried moving the regulator to the rear but it didn't help. I moved the regulator back to the front, plugged the rear up, and removed the 3rd/rear valve for now. When I was...

    56 International 300 U Hydraulic Questions

    Hey everyone, long-time reader, first-time poster...and this is my first tractor. I've wrenched all my life so I know mechanical and learning hydraulics at the moment. As the title states, I have a 56 International 300 Utility that I'm bringing back to life. It came with a loader (single action...
