CIHTECH 438 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Never been around one........ http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/3/2/324-international-harvester-383.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary scheetz 7 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 I heard that they never produced them and that the one I have may be a prototype. Not sure if that is accurate. Bought it in Ohio. Serial no 511 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eason 312 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I know they show up on the last IH full line poster. They show a 383 and a 483. All of the pictures are artist renderings not actual pictures. I've never seen one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SDman 650 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I had a one page front/back sales sheet on a 383 IH tractor. IIRC, they were a bigger tractor than a 284 that was built by Kimco(Komatsu/IH joint venture); smaller than the 384, which was the smallest of the 84 series built in England. I can see if I can find that brochure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary scheetz 7 Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 Thanks for your response. We do have the sales sheet as we purchased it from e-bay. Just looking for more history on the tractor. Have already reached out to kamatsu and international to no avail. Have already restored it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jeff311 26 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 The 383 used a 4 cylinder Nissan diesel engine the SD23. The 274/284 used a 3 cylinder SD16. A Scout pickup used the 6 cylinder SD33 Nissan diesel engine. Basically the same internal engine components per cylinder, just added more cylinders as the engine grew form 3 to 4 and 4 to 6 cylinders. Lots of these SD23 engine parts in Asia and EU. NICE restoration Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JNG 0 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Hi, I’m after a workshop manual for an International 383. Anyone know where I can get one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loafer 0 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I have a IH 383 with the Nissan Sd22 diesel engine was hoping someone knew the correct clutch kit for this tractor the parts catalog calls for part # 1063003c91 unable to find any info or cross reference.

Gary scheetz 7 Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Do you have a 383 ? Would love to talk with you about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Valiant Farmer 2 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Just seen this topic, and thought I'd mention that we have a 4wd 383 and a 2wd 483 creeper, and we use them for logging, and while I have to say that torque is not one of their strong points, it has an amazing lifting capacity, will lift the front off the ground (without the loader on), and the loader will lift the back off the ground! They are extremely reliable, the only problems we have had on the 383, which has around 2500 hours on it, is the front diff blew (while I was going top speed down the road...), due to a oil leak we hadn't noticed, but that was rebuilt as the gears were fine. The other thing was the reverse idler gear lost a few teeth, so we split it and fixed it. And a relief valve stuck open for a while, but it is going perfectly now. I have often thought how much more power it would have it it was powered by a Neuss diesel... The hydraulic pump is mounted below the injector pump in the timing gears. The orbital steering pump blew after the local hydraulic shop re-sealed it, and we put the 483 box into the 383, and put a Danfoss into the 483. It steers in something like half the turns! The 483 has been lifted 4 inches, with 36" on the rear and the front axle modified. They were definitely produced and there are heaps of them here in NZ.
