    Identification help needed MM Model AID?

    Thanks to all for the help, based on the comments and a check of serial number against model numbers on tractor data site it is a model 335 from 1957. I will dig in a little deeper. See if I can get her running.

    Identification help needed MM Model AID?

    The ID tag on this industrial tractor shows it as a model AID but that is not a model number for and m&m tractor. It may have had a backhoe at one time but it does have a loader. I will need to get some manuals on it but first got to identify it. Any help appreciated.

    Guidance on Wire Sizes and other Rewiring Tips

    I wanted to thank everyone who gave advice, I have rewired my IH 404 and only have to complete wiring to the rear light. Since those wires were protected by thick insulation they may still be useable but someone cut them off close to the fender. If I can't pull them out a little more I will run...

    Help identifying cub points and distributor

    I ordered an new condenser and points from YT for my cub but they don't fit. I did install the condenser but need help figuring out the points. I have fire to the points and a strong spark from the coil but nothing past that. All the pics in my manual show a horizontal distributor but...

    Steering wheel puller

    I have a new steering wheel for my international 404 but the old wheel does not want to come off easily. There are two holes for a puller but before spending my cash is there a special puller needed? How do other folks get the old ones off. I'll likely replace the wheel on a couple of...

    Guidance on Wire Sizes and other Rewiring Tips

    Other than matching existing wires what more should be considered when rewiring an old tractor. My IH 404 needs it all. Should I worry about the connector plugs? Maybe add a bus bar instead? It does not have a resistor at the coil though one is shown in diagrams and one is on my other 404...

    IH 404 stopped running

    Thanks for this tip. With the jumper wire I got it running and back to the tractor shed. I worked the problem back from the coil and found where the wires behind the key switch were burned up, power gets to the key switch but not past the switch so the wires may be burned up further into the...

    IH 404 stopped running

    I did search the site for a wiring diagram but got nowhere. My old 404 has been a workhorse and doing some hogging when it just died. I was in some heavy briars and some wire must have pulled loose. The tractor has some wiring issues as the previous owner did some work on it. Some bad...

    IH 404 Carburetor Problem?

    Well it turns out YouTube is your friend. Many videos about rebuilding carbs. Gives the basic background info so at least a starting point for me. If I have to I'll order a rebuild kit before taking this one apart. Then I can retrace the steps and have spare parts if needed.

    IH 404 Carburetor Problem?

    Ok, I am lost on this one. I ain't got gasoline running through my veins so please bear with me. My 404 just doesn't want to start. I took off the carb and had a tractor dealer's shop rebuild it. Also I replaced spark plugs, wires, points & condenser, dust shield, rotor, cap. It...

    Farmall A Grill tools

    I'd like to know more about the tools mentioned, i did not know there was a special set of tools for this. Sheet metal is mostly good on my menagerie of old tractors but some work is needed. I'd like to se pics of the homemade tools as that's the route I would likely take. I'm guessing...
