IHI 2500 Loader Backhoe

Greetings. I picked up an older IHI 2500 Loader Backhoe that needs a little help to run again. Does anyone have an owners or service manual for this guy? Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I believe those are very much like the 54or 74 series ag tractors so for tractor related info you might be able to use a manual from one of those models depending on which tractor it is most like. For the rest of it you would need the book for it. One of the book publishers Jensales i think it was the copies were rather blurred and hard to read and the Binder books were much clearer reading. Might look into that before buying any books. I could be wrong or they may have cleaned up the problem since i last read about it.

Thank you very much. Greatly appreciated.

Hi, the IH 2500 Loader Backhoe is based on the IH 574 farm tractor made in Doncaster, UK. If you live in the USA, the 2500 may have been shipped in a crate and final assembly completed at IH Louisville, KY, USA plant and it will have some differences from the UK model.
Free UK manuals for your 2500 can be downloaded from this link:
