IHC_1470 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Looks like what I have going on. Did it have a test harness in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHC_1470 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 That is the way I have always done it until this time. I always brought the speed transmission out when I rolled it apart and then lifted it off the transfer case. Seems to balance OK on the front stand. When I lifted the transfer case off the front half on mine I was glad that I had put a couple of safety stands under the nose. I was going to roll the front a little further forward to make a little more room, however it is now sitting on those stands. IH had the balance points pretty closely figured out it would appear.

You only need to go back into the history of this site to know why. There are many who absolutely refuse to believe that a test harness can cause problems. After all, they've had one on their tractor for years and never had a problem, and they are for sure not going to pay what CaseIH wants for a replacement Sentry (mind you this was before the aftermarket Sentry was introduced).

Especially on a 7288, if you can afford the tractor, a Sentry isn't out of question. Are tranny parts common with the 50 series on those?

Yes the new sentry we offer is a game changer at half price of dealer. Also has led diagnostic on them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Danny (Dirtboyz) had mentioned something about this, but I don't remember the details. Maybe he said it would be too complicated/expensive. Might have been in response to the articulated Magnum he worked on. Again he has had some many interesting threads that I probably have some mixed up.

Drysleeves Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 It's underway. I will provide a progress report in the next couple weeks following an in person inspection of the project! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago, I'd heard & read the story that there were a couple racks worth of the RABA-built front axles for the Super 70's, and that quite a few of them had made their way to Kansas. Not sure if they're still there or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff-C-IL Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 IDK where they are now - but those axles (pretty sure it was them) & the rear fuel tanks for the "next gen" tractors once were stacked up at Milan Surplus in Milan IL. Now long gone. I have one of the tanks out behind the barn - bought one and used it for a flush tank on a sprayer for a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
