Remote hydraulics on 674 Farmall not working

[jonwire]

We have a 674 Farmall that the remote Hydraulics will not work, tractor doesnt labor when lever is moved. Lever goes all the way forward or all the way back. 3 point works, Loader and bucket work, we have owned tractor for many years and pretty sure my dad used the remote for snow blowing. Doesn anyone have a print that i could verify if the lever is hooked up? not really sure what I would be looking for on how to hook lever up if unhooked. Thanks

When sitting on the tractor, the tin plate behind your right heel. Remove it and you can see where the handle hooks to the valve. With the handle hooked to the valve you should feel the detents of the valve position. Should be four positions, raise, neutral, lower, and float. And for your information you should describe your tractor as a International 674 not a Farmall 674

ok thanks for the information, I will change to IH 674 in the future, there isnt any positions on the lever, goes to top and bottom without detents of the positions you speak of, must have come unhooked or something broke.

Not that many utility's here . I had a buddy that had two 584's . I borrowed the one twice off of him , once to mow hay and once to cultivate , decent tractor one was a row crop and one with the swept back axle . just not my cup of tea . Mowing hay with it put you down in all the dust and chaff and BUGS. So never really worked on one . they were the only two the one I H dealer ever sold . That was back in the GOOD OLD DAYS when ya were never more then 12 miles from a dealer of any color.

Back in the good old days 574 and 674 then the 84 series were very popular around here with small dairy farms littering the countryside. Every farm had a loader on them. The few that a still around are used on grain augers and a few small hay operations. I have a 674 scheduled to repair later this month with no 3rd. gear. All the dairy is long gone in our township

Around here other then some Fords and Masseys a few 300-350 utilitys till my long gone friend bought the first 584 the I H dealer here intown got in . trading in a 560 D for it that one had the swept back axle thinking he could use the loader off the 560 onlyto find out the cylinders hit the axle then ordered in the other one . we had ton's of small dairys now all gone . From my drive south for 30 miles it was all small dairy operations No not one left . East of me was Tater ground running north 12 miles and south around 18 miles . with only two dairy operations over that way. My uncles farm was smack dead in the middle . He started that farm in 1947 with a 160 acres then bought the place on the north side and it upped to 320 then sucked up the place to the south another 160 . This was convent due to the fact he farmed with crawlers till 59 and he bought 320 on the west side of the county road and the wheel tractors came about and he kept on growing and renting till we were 12 miles north of his home place and five miles to the west and two farms that butted up on the east fence and with them we did not have to ue the road just the lane to the east fields that was extended into a BVLD. The rented ground to the north was a nightmare at harvest time due to the Steep hills and the old farm trucks . poor brakes plum wore out engines and no power and 8 to 14 ton of taters . I set here thinking about those days and it is a wonder i am still alive . Stopping at the top of the hills shifting the brownie down into lo lo the main into first and shifting the two speed in to lo range and creeping down the hill with a stop sign at the bottom crossing a main state highway with loads of traffic with brake ya pumped three times and prayed Then there was the HILL from the rail road tracks up to the farm , no run for the hill due to a rough crossing ease across in second in the main and low in the brownie and low range in the rear end foot flat on the floor and enjoy the blow by filling the cab . Every load ya would have to dump two to three qts. of oil in them Did not matter if it was a chevy or one of the old dodges , all plum wore out before they were bought and made into tater haulers all five speed's with four speed brownies and two speed rear ends all 6 cylinders home made self unloading 16 foot beds made of angle iron and oak planks
