Thanks,

I have scoured all of my 66 and 86 Series IH service manuals, and I cannot find what the torque should be for mounting the 7/16" bolts (with the copper seal washers) into the aluminum rear hydraulic pump. Has anyone found this information?

Problems solved! I finally got back to this tractor. Thank you to Hydro-Tek and Snoshoe; both of your answers were correct. The problem was hard to spot because the adjusting screw at the top of the sensing arm appeared to be fine, but it was partially bent in the top of the crooked part of the sensing arm, so it was flexing to the side and not pushing the upper arm correctly. I replaced the adjusting screw and the problem is solved. This really had my scratching my head; I appreciate the wealth of knowledge that is in this forum!

I removed the 3rd link cover and verified that the sensing arm is in the correct position. All of the linkages that I can see, appear to be connected. No matter where I have the position control lever or the load control lever, the hitch will not go down. The owner recently purchased this tractor, so he has no history on it. It will settle a little overnight but immediately goes up when I start the tractor. Naturally the tractor has a cab on it -- UGH! Does anyone have an idea as to where the problem is? Thanks, Red Tech

That sounds ingenious. Could you post pictures, particularly of the fittings that you added?

Pretty simple and quick fix -- and cheap! Remove the 4 screws from the side cover. Remove screws from the control lever. Withdraw the control lever. Replace o-ring # 86629543 on the control lever. Note: There is an engagement tab on the inside end of the control lever. Be sure that the dot on it is facing up when reinstalling the control lever. The part # for the cover gasket is 681263C1 Red Tech.

The correct number from Napa is B0165P. Retail price is $64.99. I put one on a 574 a year ago. It fits exactly, looks original and works perfect. Red Tech

I put one in a 574 last year; I got it from Napa. It fit and worked great. Red Tech

Terrible re-paint; I really doubt the hours are accurate. Too many red flags for me to consider it to be worth any more than what a decent 884 would bring. The German diesel, while a great engine, does pose risks due to future repairs of the fuel system and the engine itself.

Sounds like a bad condenser to me

My 300 has a cracked pot-metal manifold on the steering motor. Can you tell me where I can buy a new machined one?
