farmall_fred 15 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Looking for some help in determining where my 8920 was sold new and also repair history. A number of years ago before I bought my 7140 I was able to look it up on the Case IH website and it told me where it was sold new and repair history on repairs done by a dealer. I am trying to find the same information for my 8920. We bought it about five years ago from the second owner and had to replace the rear brakes due to glazing and when we removed the finals there was silicone sealer on the castings and the brake adjusters were missing. The PO never had any work done to it so it had to happen before he bought it. We also removed the head due to the gasket leaking and found out that it has a thicker than normal head gasket. I just want to see what might have been done to it in its past live. This is a very low hour tractor with less than 3,000 hrs. Had 1650 when we bought it. Anybody know how to access this information. Thanks Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FarmallFan 872 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Tom, I think if you give the serial number to a Case IH dealer they can look it up for you. I wasn't aware of any way for the general public to access that info. BJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like I said at one time that information was available because I looked up my 7140 before I bought it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jacka 282 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Not well versed on this since mine are all older but if a non CIH repair shop did it it wouldn't be recorded on CIH records. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bitty 5,273 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 When we bought our first 8950 it was a year old. It still had warranty and when the head gasket started seeping I asked if they could get history. They were able to get the owner and it had a few tiny parts put on by warranty.

Bermuda_Ken 71 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 This information USED to be available to CIH dealers to look up. About 10? years ago, this feature was deleted from CIH on the pre-2000 built tractors. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
