3414

[MeanGene1]

I have happened onto a very nice condition 3414 with IH loader, has been kept inside on the same ranch all its life and used for ranch chores. I remember when these were sold new at gramps' dealership, pretty stout series of tractors. Diesel starts very well, no blue smoke, hydraulics are strong and tight, and it has a 3-spool Gresen valve body added with couplers so one could run a box scraper with tilts and scratchers. Has the fast reverser shuttle drive, diff lock, good rubber, wheel weights, and the power steering works properly. Nice original sheet metal/paint. Able to make a pretty good trade with a mower and cash. Anybody have bad reviews for the 3414? I know the worst part is probably parts availability, but I would not be working it hard, general yard duty, and it's in great shape

Nobody's had a 3414?

I had a 3444 TLB gas. It was a great machine. The weak part was the piece that held the top of the hoe hinge to the tractor.

Where I went to school the school district had a 3414 loader {no backhoe} they used it mostly for snow removal and other chores. Seemed to be working well, but that was years ago.
