    Replacing starter on IH 684

    Thanks guys! Job is done, tractor started. It was as easy as it appeared.

    Replacing starter on IH 684

    Thanks, that gave me more confidence to get started :-)

    Replacing starter on IH 684

    So, my IH 684 tractor doesn't start. I turn the key, the solenoid engages - I hear it click, and the starter seems to turn....but barely. The battery is new. It sure seems as if the starter is at fault. 1. Is that a poor assumption? If so, how should I verify? What else should I check? 2. If...

    Shear bolt

    Thanks! I guess I assumed 8 ~= 8.8. This is the kind of knowledge I figured I was missing. I suspected I was probably doing something silly. Confirmed! :-)

    Shear bolt

    So I recently got a PTO driven chipper, and promptly broke a shear bolt on the PTO. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with them. I looked at it prior to use, and my memory is that it was a grade 8.8 bolt. I did not measure the length. The head of the bolt disappeared when it sheared...

    IH 684 surging

    Thanks everyone. I think I have it resolved...we'll see. I tried starting the tractor this morning, and could not. I disconnected the fuel line at the filters, and was getting no fuel. I checked the same line back at the tank, and seemed to get plenty of output there. I checked the...

    IH 684 surging

    Got it. Thanks. Thanks to everyone for the advice! Really appreciate it. I'll see what I can figure out this weekend.

    IH 684 surging

    Would it make sense to remove the fuel gauge on the right hand side, and look into the tank? If it's not being equalized, then the fuel might be significantly higher on the left side vs. the right, correct?

    IH 684 surging

    Sorry, I'm not sure I understand the last bit. Are you saying that fuel should be filling the full width of the line, not draining, with a gap at the top curve of the tube? Just want to make sure I understand what you mean.

    IH 684 surging

    I was doing some mowing with my IH 684 tractor, and about 30 minutes in, I noticed my engine sounded as if it was it was slowing slightly, and then it dropped off noticeably, and started to "surge" then back off, then rev, then back off, etc. I stopped, stopped the cutter, and it evened out. I...

    Coolant flush

    OK. Yeah, I may try just using the lower hose. Seems like maybe if I move the hose, I may be able to reach across and get the drain plug as well, with a socket wrench+adapter that someone else suggested. Looks like I'm not going to avoid a coolant mess any way I do it. I suppose I'll need two...

    Coolant flush

    I think in my case, the fuel pump may block a long/shallow angle too. I'll see. I like this kind of tool though, and want it to work :-)

    Coolant flush

    oooh. That could be helpful. Now that I know where it is, I think could probably reach with this adapter and an extension, if my socket handle is long enough. I'll see if I can track one down. If not for this time, then the next.

    Coolant flush

    *sigh* So, I can't remove the side panel because the bottom bolt is inserted from the outside in, and its removal is blocked by the support rail for my loader. I can't even cut the bolt off and push it out - there's just insufficient room for the head to move. Maybe I could take the nut off and...
