- How to change the engine oil, transmission grease, and hydraulic oil in 275, 276, 354, 414, 434, 444, and 384 International Harvester tractors. Fill and drain locations, levels and quantities.
One mistake I made, I said the transmission holds 6 US Gallons, that is incorrect, it holds 6 Imperial Gallons or about 27 liters.
It is refreshing to see a mechanic not wearing rubber gloves and using air or electric tools. I continue to find myself watching your videos when i need to learn more about my 444. THANKS!
LOL, I guess I'm kinda old school, I hate gloves, I can't feel anything and can't pick anything up with them on. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video. I have watched a few times as I inherited a b414 this year that had been sitting. I was mostly watching transmission and hydraulic, but I watched the engine oil also. I'm glad. Mine had the spring and washer, however it was installed above the element forcing it away from the housing. If I had not watched, I might have reinstalled the same way. Thanks
I am glad you found the video helpful, thanks for watching!
I picked up a 414 diesel and i had no manuals this helped greatly thanks.
I am glad you found the video helpful, thanks for asking!
ONE OF THE BEST, RELIABLE 33 - 40 PTO HORSE POWER TRACTORS BUILT. OUR OLDEST 434D HAS PASSED THE 10 THOUSAND MARK & STILL RUNS GREAT. BOTH 434 D'S WERE PURCHASED NEW. I ABERAGE I GALLON FUEL BURN PER HOUR WHEN BALING. SET THE RPM @ 1850 RPM. VERY STRONG TORQUE RANGE. SAD DAY WHEN IHC AG DIVISION WAS ABSORBED BY CASE.
I agree on all counts. The 384 you see in many of our videos has over 15 K hours on it. Thanks for watching!
We had 250, 275 and 414 Tractors, but never realised that they had that hydraulic oil screen. Never had any oily problems with them, even when loading sugar beet for the cows, at 06:00 on a cold -15C morning. . . . . .Thanks for the video. . . . . .
Those series of tractors are hard to beat. In my opinion they are the best tractors in that HP range built by anyone ever! Thanks for watching!
Great video thanks - about to do my first service of a 414 we bought a year ago. This video has given me a bit more confidence about exactly how to go about it.
I am glad you found the video helpful, thanks for watching!
@@CanadianRedneck15Possibly a dumb question, but do you know what the screw on the top of the filter head is for?
The operators and workshop manual don't mention it at all, and so I guess it is unnecessary to mess with when replacing the filter? My only guess is it makes pre-filling easier, which also appears to be optional?
@@ferrouswheel On the oil filter head? Possibly to access a pressure relief valve?
thank. you, thank you, thank you. We just picked up a 1961 B275 .Trying to get info on it . and this has answered what three days of googling could not. Thanks again from a fellow Canukistanian.
That's great, I'm glad I could help, thanks for watching!
Glad you mentioned the spring and washer inside the eng. oil canister . Over the years I can't tell you how many of them are missing, doesn't matter the make or model of the tractor. It may have been good to mention to have the engine at operating temp. and drive it around before draining the fluids so as to get the sediment suspended and drained out.
That is a good point about warming the tractor up, thanks for mentioning that and thanks for watching!
@@CanadianRedneck15 Watched some of your other videos great info, thanks for your post.
Thanks for saving me a headache to try finding out how to do this.
I am glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
Virgin 414 owner here, first tractor . Great video...really helpful!
I am glad you enjoyed the video, thanks fopr watching!
Thank you for this awesome video. I have a 434 and never thinkered around a tractor before. Now i can flush the whole system and give it a new top up.
I am glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
a big thanks! i have an D320 , passed to me by my late grandfather, i need to change all the fluids as the tractor was 10 years waiting on the outside to be rescued, i'll use this video for better understanding, its not the same tractor but i think its very similar 🤔
It should at least be a guide. Thanks for watching!
Nice video, i have a 444, spending some time and money on it now, new starter and alternator, the old one was burnt out. Also changing oil filter housing to a spin on type for easier filter change.
I just bought a 444 diesel missing starter, would you happen to have the part number for the starter,

Enjoy your simple sensible manner of doing things. Thanks.
I am glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
Wonderful. Looking at purchasing a 444 so I now have a heads up. Thanks for the easy to follow info.
444s are pretty amazing for their size, really great tractors.
I am glad you found the video helpful, thanks for watching!
I did it! Got my hydraulics working again on my B414! The hose connecting the hydraulic filter was leaking - among other places - but was bad there. I removed the hydraulic filter and cleaned it, and then things went to h*ll in a handbasket. Couldn't find a replacement hose. Then after a month of being told "what I really needed" I finally got what you said, i.e. hydraulic suction hose, but couldn't get the clips to go back on. After swearing heard round the world, I put on some eyeglasses and turned on a bright light and could see someone had cut the screws short on the clamps, probably because they were rubbing their leg. So the screws were now really short, or the hose was too heavy, and the screw threads on the end were rolled from the cutting and despite a plethora of tools and clamps, they would not screw together. AHHHHHH!!!!! So I stepped outside the box, got some screw clamps, and done and done! Only took me two months.
Well done! A lot of these jobs require a little patience and creative thinking. I am always happy to hear people success stories!
Excellent video ,just bought a 444 and was trying to figure out what trans fluid to use , now i know , the manual is not specific, well not to a retired electrician , hey man keep up these great videos , greetings from Ontario .
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the video and greetings to you from NB. Thanks for watching!
Best international tractor vid....you have saved me so much time . Thanks from Tasmania Australia
I am glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
Just bought my first tractor, a 434, this video great help so well described thanks, got to read up on the speed/torque amplifier it has fitted though as it got a Filter too 🤦♂️
I guess I didn't realize that you could get a TA in a 434. There shouldn't be a filter for it, I expect it would be a straight mechanical TA. Thanks for watching!
This is very helpful and thank you for a brilliant video mate,am from England and just got a 354
Congratulations a 354 is a fine tractor. Thanks for watching!
Very helpful! I look forward to servicing my B-275 using your instructions.
I am glad you found the video helpful, thanks for watching!
Hello, Thank you for this informative video.I have a B275 and wasn't sure about the hydraulic level and what oil to use. I Found the answer in your video and comments. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
That's great, I am glad you found the video helpful, thanks for watching!
First is a big thank you for your time on making these videos...It is a huge help to a newbie like myself. I will have many questions in the future but an important one to hopefully help me and others is regarding the level or amount of hydraulic fluid when refilling. The manual does say three gallons but it also says to fill to the TOP of the housing...and many other people are saying the same thing around the Internet...I am just trying to be sure on which level is the correct method as I am brand new to anything hydraulic related and want to service my newly acquired B414 before using it.
The original owners manual states 3 inches of fluid level. You don't want to fill it as the oil will expand when heated and there needs to be space for the level to vary as cylinders are filled and emptied. If the reservoir is over filled you stand a chance of .blowing seals out from pressure when the oil expands.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you, I just purchased a 2444 IH tractor with a 2040 loader. The loader stopped working it's full of fluid so next I will check filter. Keep making the videos.
I am glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
I also have a 2444 with front auxiliary hydraulic pump. I have a manual if you need anything. Let us know how you made out?
Excellent, very clear. Recommend adding fluid volume and specs. Many thanks
I am glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
Thank you very much im having a go at servicing my fathers old Hi 474 and this video was exactly what I was looking for to show me how
The 474 is a different series of tractor, the transmission/differential is the hydraulic reservoir. Thanks for watching!
@@CanadianRedneck15 Thank you for pointing that out much appreciated
Hi Simon. Did you manage to get it done. I have 474 too. Couldn't use any hydraulics today. Saw some fluid leakage by a hydraulic hose. Where do you fill the oil, and which type/qty did you end up using? Best wishes
@@CanadianRedneck15 Is the story about poor brakes the same for a 474. My 474 brakes aren't working either...
@@madsvinding4409 The 474 has an internal wet disk brake located on the inside end of the rear axles. If the brake pedal feels good the you likely need to replace the disks, if you have a soft pedal try bleeding the brakes. You could have worn master cylinders or bad o-rings by the disks. Thanks for watching!
Hi Dave,
About a month ago I contacted you after, because, as it turned out, the transmission on my 354 diesel took on water, water froze up solid, needed a thaw, drained, and new fluids. That was done. Separately, the plastic tube that goes from the intake manifold to the front cover where the fuel pump gear is located broke.That I replaced. It started. So far so good. And thank you for your help with the change of fluids youtube!
However, these previous events may have something to do with the reason for my question. After all this occurred, I started the tractor and it imeadiately began to rev-up to the max and the kill knob wouldn't stop it. I had to turn off the fuel to shut it down. The only other issue that could have possibly been involved has to due with the upper of the two bleed bolts on the fuel pump. The lower smaller one seems to be original. The upper, slightly larger one appears to be jury-rigged. It's longer bolt than necessary and has had a nut put on it to shorten the distance it goes into the fuel pump. That is - you tighten the nut rather than the bolt. At this point it goes in about an 3/4 to an inch farther than needed. Maybe that has interfered with or damaged what ever's going on inside. Or.. maybe the pump needs to be repaired or replaced.
In any case, I would appreciate your thoughts!
Best,
Steve
The jury rigged upper bleed screw could be interfering with the pumps governor system keeping it wide open.
@@CanadianRedneck15 Thanks! Dave, I'll replace it and let you know what happens.
Hello again Dave,
Back to the jury rigged bleed screw, I removed the lower bleed screw and it came to a point that fit a seat. So while the upper jury rig bleeder is just a bolt one with a flat face, I don't see how that's the cause of the problem - and it's never been a problem before.Of course i'm looking for the simplest and cheapest way out, but fear I may have to send the pump out for a full rebuild. $$$$. Is it possible to repair the issue rather than go the whole 9 yds? If not can you suggest then most reasonable folks to send it to please? Always great for your help!
@@StephenMack-ut9vf There's a guy in Moncton that is good, Joe the pump guy 506-858-8146.
Thanks Dave!
I am watching allo of your vedio lately because i just bought a 444 and i am rebuilding it and all your vedio are perfect love that you mention everything since its my first tracter and i was looking for parts i was asking my dad and the guy i bought the tracter from he allready bight parts from a guy in sessex and my dad said there a guy that bought a bunch of tracter from us way back 15 years ago hes from sessex next thing i know all that time its you haha i will give you a call tomorrow thanks.

I sure do appreciate this video. I had no idea about the hydraulic filter
I am glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
thank you. i just found you recently. and then you are covering a tractor close to mine. i just got a 354. and about to do all this to it lol. i just cleaned it up painted it. fixed lot lil issues first. but don't have the $ to dump into fluids etc now. its like 150$ in my area to change just trans and hydro oil. then oil looks like another 75$ shew wee. LOL. but I'm gonna and i think remove the top of the trans and fix what i think is a leak. seen a bunch of blue rtv. grrr i hate that stuff. ill make a gasket if its not to bad to remove the shifter fork plate.
Ralph,
I realy thank you verry much for ansering my question. i am now looking for a good old mecanic to do the job.
Very helpful thx a lot I’m working on my 424 model
I am glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
I good review. I haven't seen a canister oil filter like that in years. I had forgotten about the spring holding the filter in place.
I am glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
Of course I forged ahead with these jobs before watching your excellent video.
Needless to say the oil filter bit didn't go according to plans. The two large concave washers fell out of the filter canister before I had figured out what order they were supposed to be in. Don't even ask l if I checked/replaced the top O ring. Anyway, now I know. Thanks.
LOL, that sounds familiar. Don't worry about it, most of learn the hard way, thanks for watching!
Hi, I am new at this but at beginning of video you removed 3 drain plugs but only filled in one place...is this correct, that one fill point,was for the three points drained...
Yes, the transmission and differential cases are all filled from the one spot. There are 3 plugs because there are three low spots in the cases so to drain all the oil you need the three plugs. Thanks for watching!
Very good tractor international
Help please! Just put my 444 back together after full engine rebuild and it’s sucking thru exhaust and blowing thru intake... did I put crank in 180 out? And what’s easiest way to correct this oops?! Thank you again !
Timing is everything, you answered yourself there.
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to make and share .
I am glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Hi Dave, Great video. Very useful. I have a 444 that was my grandfather's tractor. I never really new how to check and drain transmission oil. And how to check hydraulic oil level. Thanks, David from Vermont.

Hello, Have question..I have a 1964 IH 424 diesel tractor..I cannot get the hydraulic filter to break free. Wanting to take out and clean filter. I have put channel lock, and wise grips and that didn't do it. then i put a heavy hose on hydraulic line and hooked a chain and 4-wheeler to try to jerk.. that didn't work either..any suggestion on how to get off...Thanks
I suspect that some wise soul has stuck in there with some sort of sealant and basically glued it in. About the only thing you can do is to keep wiggling on it til it breaks free. Thanks for watching!
Thx for the info , couldn’t find a better example close to an b414
Yes very close. if you took the hoods off you would have trouble telling them apart. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
Also nice to hear that you give an indication of fluids in liters 👌
Indeed metric is the official measurement system here in Canada. It was just changing over when I was in the early grades at school so I end up using both metric and imperial depending on what I am doing. :)
Thanks for the video! Yeah, I've got a B275 that I picked up 10 years ago and other than oil changes every couple of years just because, I don't think we ever put more than 2 or 3 hours a year on it dragging equipment around the yard at the shop. Now we have it at the family farms in Texas putting out hay, and I realized I'd forgotten how to do everything but the oil changes. I'll have to look at it, but, you're saying there is a drain plug for the gearbox/transmission, and then a drain plug for the rear end, but they both get filled at a plug by the shifter? Also, the B275 'Jensales' all in one service manual (unless I"m missing a section), was really lousy about covering maintenance, but it seems to state that the preferred hydraulic fluid is SAE 20 motor oil for mid-range temps. I didn't get the manuals for a few years after we got it, and at the time it seemed to have clear-ish hydraulic fluid, so we added whatever the International dealer in Okanogan WA at the time had in 5 gallon containers when I had to replace some gaskets on the hydraulic valve body. It seems to work fine, we're lifting 1000 lb round bales with it now, but, do you have a recommendation one way or the other? Thanks again, it certainly is a fun little tractor now that we use it regularly.
There should be 3 drain plugs, one at the back half of the clutch housing, one under the transmission, and one at the back for the differential, and they all fill from the plug by the shifter.
For the hydraulics our dealer always recommended CaseIH Hytran oil but if you're using regular hydraulic oil and it's working fine don't worry about it.
The 275 is a great tractor, much sturdier than competitors in it's size range.
Thanks for watching!
@@CanadianRedneck15 I finally made it down to the farm we're using it on tonight and took a look at it after your video, yep, now it all makes sense! Thanks for the response, yeah, I like it because it's compact and so far, is lifting the big round bales just fine. I do see some fluid changes and a little maintenance in my future though. Thanks again!
any advice on what to replace that gasket on the bottom of that oil filter housing with? the one on top of those washers over that bolt head. mine leaked something bad, i permatexed a new one, still leaks.
I would use a rubber or cork washer. Thanks for watching!
The Problem:
Hydraulic Steering hose cracked and fluid was spewing to right side of tractor.
My tractor is 1969 International 444 Diesel. I'm not a mechanic nor experienced farmer, but have had great service from this tractor for 17 years. Apparently, I'm not kind to equipment because I have broken or worn out many pieces of equipment working timber and cattle on 40 acres in hot humid SE Texas. However, this tractor I acquired in the purchase of the farm, has yet to fail me.
The Problem:
Hydraulic Steering hose cracked and fluid was spewing to right side of tractor. I see there are two hoses. Since the tractor was still steering to the left without spewing fluid, 1) can I know that only the 1 hose leaking needs to be replaced?
2) I will begin my search for a replacement hose now that I have found you for referencing along the way.
Thank you for all your videos. Your detailed explanations are very useful to the simple-minded, or ignorant such as myself.
I will continue to view and enjoy your CZcams channel. Darryl
I am glad you have found my videos helpful and you are correct, you will only need to replace the one hose.

Hello Dave
I have a B 414 and don't know how to get the front end bucket up.....do you have a tutorial on how to uses all of the levers under seat tonoperate
There are a few different methods of connecting the loader to operate the controls. I expect you are going to have to open a valve to the loader and close the valve to the rear lift to operate your loader. Thanks for watching!
Informative thanks helped out a lot
I am glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
I have a 444 gas, is the hydraulic fluid and transmission fluid the same and it has a front end loader does it require extra, the loader doesn't have a separate reservoir.
444s are a bit tricky, a Canadian model the transmission and hydraulic are separate reservoirs, whereas I believe the US models the transmission and hydraulics shared a reservoir. It should not require extra oil once the loader has been cycled so the cylinders have oil. Thanks for watching!

allo parler vous francais jai un 1970 434 internationnnal harvester au gaz cest la meme chose ....peut on tulisiser de huile tdh pour hydraulique et transmission aussi?
You can use TDH in the transmission but it's better to use gear oil for the transmission/differential. Thanks for watching!

The B414 models predate CaseIH, all are McCormick Internationals and are the ones that show up in the CaseIH parts book. Thanks for watching!
Hi Dave, I have a IH444, the hydraulic drain plug is not male like yours i.e cannot use a spanner, it has a 4 sided square indent and I need a bar to undo it, it is also damaged so hard to get out or tighten.
Mine has a magnet glued to the back and is about 7/8" dia and 3/4" long and has about 7 threads. Can you tell me the size/threads/type of your drain plug ? I can't find it in any of the manuals. Thanks in advance, greetings from Scotland.
I'm not sue but I think it takes a standard pipe plug. Thanks for watching!
Me again... I'm having trouble sourcing an oil filter element for my B-275... the CNHI online parts website shows it as unavailable. Is there a good Canadian online supplier for these?

Hi Dave. My hydraulic splitter on my b414 leaks quite a bit whenever I leave my loader bucket up or if I am using my grader back blade and leave it up. Would it be just a case of having a bad O ring do you think? Thanks.
Yes, I expect that would be an o-ring. You should be able to get one at a decent machine shop near you.
Thanks for watching!
Help please. 1962 international b275. Pulled the front drain plug. No oil. Middle amd rear plugs, 3 buckets of oil. Why no oil out the front plug????
Did you stick a screw driver or something in the hole to see if there is anything blocking it? There are at least a couple of pretty decent size passage ways for the oil to migrate to the front case, it would take a lot to block them.

I think I have a 444. I’m in New Hampshire and the tractor has a Quebec dealer tag on it. But when I look at manuals I end up looking at a 384 manual a lot. This is a crazy question - my power steering cylinder works but leaks more and more. Ever rebuilt one? Or for that matter, can one be purchased?
I have a 59 b275 it has one fill plug on the top for the hydraulics and only one drain plug on the middle on the bottom under the pto shaft. Are the diff and hydraulic fluid shared on the 275s?
The fill plug for the transmission differential will be on the shift cover, 2 separate oil reservoirs.

Hi there. I'm from Uruguay. I have an international mc cormick 4140 tractor. Do you know if there is an oil filter holder (to be able to use modern filters) that is compatible with the holes of the tractor? Thank you
I have heard that there was but I have not found it. You may be able to get one from a Mahindra dealer as they were licensed to build them in India after IH stopped. Thanks for watching!
Is bleeding the hydraulic fluid needed when changing fluid or will it purge itself?
No need to bleed, just refill, let it circulate for a few minutes, recheck your level and top up if necessary. Thanks for watching!
384 stuck in low range... even with hi/low lever in neutral. if shifted to hi the engine loads up and kills when clutch is released. could the low range fork be broken or misaligned. i will take shift cover off to investigate. any thoughts??? thanks
Sorry I missed this, my best guess would be a broken fork.
Thanks for watching!
I have a international 444 tractor
Between clutch and transmission the seal is leaking. How do you change it?
That's a fairly involved job, you'll want a manual to walk you through that. Thanks for watching!
wondering if u have any videos on how to change the hydraulic fluids etc on a international 574 backhoe and front loader just bought it and want to change the oil and filter and fluids thanks
I don't have one, I've not had a 574 backhoe to work on. Thanks for watching!
I have a question for you, I am installing an international 1850 loader on a 444 tractor that has never had a loader on it. I just want to confirm that to tie into the hydraulic system on the tractor, I cut the pressure line that runs from the pump to the rear hydraulics and run it through the loader valve and then out to the rear hydraulics?
Yes, that is correct, you will need a "power beyond" loader control valve for that application.
Thanks for watching!
Does the gas engine and the diesel use the same oil filter? Been trying to find the right filter for my 276 gas, and most listings don't specify for which engine.
Yes, gas and diesel use the same oil filter. Thanks for watching!
i own a 434 and have a small clear oil leak coming from somewhere on the right side of the tractor next to the front right wheel. Doesn't seem to be engine oil since its so clear. what would you say it is from ?
That would likely be hydraulic oil. Thanks for watching!
Can the engine of this tractor be replaced with a modern engine, for example, with a focus 70
The engine is part of the frame, I don't see how you would switch to a different engine.
In a 384 what type of hydraulic oil are you using or best to use?
I use CaseIH Hytran oil. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video! So helpful. I know nothing about anything mechanical. Just bought a very old very poorly maintained IH 434 Diesel. I can’t figure out what year exactly (SN B27396).
It’s dumping oil or hydraulic fluid. Seems to need a new solenoid. Doesnt start unless I bang on it. I’m very rough shape. 1:10
Have been trying to find someone to help me maintain but doesn’t seem to be any tractor mechanics around.
Any suggestions for BC?
I think with this video I can at least see now how to keep topping up the hydraulic fluid until I can replace the lines.
Please keep making easy to use and videos with what tools needed etc. so so so so so helpful!
I am glad you enjoyed the video. 434s were built from 1966-1969. I don't know any mechanics in BC, sorry. Thanks for watching!
Hi Dave great videos I have a 384 is stuck in second gear
You will have to take the pin out at the base of the shift lever that holds it in the cover and line up all the notches on the shift rails in the center of their travel. That will fix you up. Thanks for watching!
Hello Michael,
I read a comment you put 2 years ago on video of a fuel leak on a 7.3, you mentioned a specific filter. I am trying to find out more information about how to clean the screen and change the filter. Any way we could speak? Thank you
I'm Dave and I don't have any videos about 7.3s, I think you're looking for someone else.
What oil weight would you recommend for all year round use (quebec winter goes to -25 ) 10w30 syntetic?
A good quality 10w30 or 15w40 diesel engine oil would be good for you. Thanks for watching!
great video but i couldnt see what you did under the pedals on the adjuster i just picked up a 1958 international 420 utility when i shut it off and apply the parking breaks they won't hold on a hill id appreciate any help thanks al
My IH 444 rear lift arms got stuck in up position. How do I fix?
Could be a sticking valve or damaged linkage, only way to know is go digging. Thanks for watching!
How dose the power steering work? Dose it work with the hydraulic oil?
Yes, the hydraulic pump is a tandem pump and half of it powers the power steering. Thanks for watching!
Thank you really much for this, I really needed this video for my old McCormick IH b-275😅
I am glad you found it helpful, thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for this video. I have the service manual for
My 354 but it was still a bit confusing. A lot of people say the hydraulic system should take the hy-trans but it looks like you put regular hydraulic fluid in. What kind of fluid did you use in the video and is that acceptable? It looks like the high trans is used primarily in the hydrostatic driven tractors?
I generally use hytrans but regular hydraulic oil will work. Thanks for watching!
Hi On my old 1958 b 250 where would the drains and refill spots be on the trans and diff? It doesn,t have hi and low range just 5 speed
On a B250 the front drain will be on the bottom about half way back the running board. the rear one will be the same as the video, right below the PTO. The fill should also be by the shift lever. I don't remember where the level plug is, check the sides above and below the running boards. Thanks for watching!
I have a question about the B275. Mine does not have a rear hydraulic drain plug. Do you happen to know where I would drain it from? Thanks for any help you can provide.
If there is no plug at the back of the hydraulic lift cover take out the pipe with the filter screen at the front of the unit and drain the oil from there.
I'm glad you asked this question, my 1970 ih444 doesn't have the drain plug either, it has a hydraulic fitting instead. I was trying to decide how best to drain the fluid.
I need your help. I have a 354. It wont steer it has the cylinder with the build in valve. I took off the end caps. But i cant get the rod out. Also do you know anywhere i can get a rebuild kit.
Only place I would know to get parts for that would be a CaseIH dealer. Thanks for watching!
I have an IH 383. I've found drain plugs for the Diff and the Gearbox -- is there also one for the Hydraulics ? Where ? Would it have a separate filler plug ?
A 384 would be the same as the 444 in this video, I am not familiar with a 383, the transmission/rear end may be the hydraulic reservoir or it may have a separate hydraulic reservoir. Thanks for watching!
Any chance we can see a rebuild on a ih 414 steering booster cylinder?
Sorry, I don't touch those, they're over my head. Thanks for watching!
Very helpful!
I am glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video! So helpful. I know nothing about anything mechanical. Just bought a very old very poorly maintained IH 434 Diesel. I can’t figure out what year exactly (SN B27396).
It’s dumping oil or hydraulic fluid. Seems to need a new solenoid. Doesnt start unless I bang on it.
Have been trying to find someone to help me maintain but doesn’t seem to be any tractor mechanics around.
Any suggestions for BC?
I think with this video I can at least see now how to keep topping up the hydraulic fluid until I can replace the lines.
Please keep making easy to u sweat and videos with what tools needed etc. so so so so so helpful!
So the 3 drainplugs from transmission drain the same compartment? And same compartment is refilled only by the fillerhole next to the gear lever?
Thanks for the video
That is correct, thanks for watching!
Beauty- thanks, changing on my 3434 soon. Have you done any DB 885 , 3cylinder, liner changes?
Cheers from Denmark .
IH 444 IHB414 hydraulic oil change and filter replaced.
Hydraulics on the rear controlling the bush hog will not stay up after cuttimg off the tractor and seemingly leak down over a period of time if bushhog is left in the up position.
And even when hydralics are set at a position to go to another field. will have the bush hog lowering without do it from the hydr controls.
Several people have said it is air in the system after changing the hydraulic fluid and that it needs to be bled.
Does this sound correct to you, and if so, do I just slighly (just enough) crack a filler plug while tractor is running to bleed off some pressure till fluid comes out or is there another location and or techniques.
Around or supposed to be a 1969 model.
Thanks
Why would you leave it parked with the mower up? That is leaving pressure on things for no purpose, always leave your implements lowered to the ground. No need to bleed the hydraulics, they work the air out themselves. My guess is your lift cylinder is leaking by a bit.
I keep them down when implements are on it, but when mowing uneven ground I'll raise it a bit and after a bit it seems to leak down cutting groove in ground with the leading edge.
And when no implement it seems to leak down with nothing on it.
I was leaving it up in both situations temporarily, just to test it to see of it would hold without leaking down.
I haven't used it yet with disc and or my grader so I wanted to make sure it is address for situations where it need to hold where put.
Any videos dealing with where that leak might be?
Thanks.
Great Channel by the way.
@@7blueblaze Sorry, I misunderstood. Is your lever staying in position? When the tractor is running it should automatically lift the mower back up if it drops a bit to match the lever position.
I'm sorry I'm not that up on hydraulic systems.
Yes, both levers stay in the position they are set.
Recon I'll just live with it or I'll eventually figure it out.
Thanks.
Thank you
