I have an IH 444 diesel with 3164 hours. I bought it 4 years ago with 3000 hours . The clutch has always slipped when pulling hard in any high range gear. It will spin the tires without slipping in the lower 4 gears but has always slipped under a heavy load in upper gears. It has not been a problem since I only use the lower gears and slower speeds when pulling something hard. I wonder if this is an adjustment issue or if the clutch is going out. If it needs replacing, how much work is it, and how much does it cost. I am a fair mechanic, but have never cracked a tractor open. Replacing an inverter in a Prius would be the most advanced job I've ever done, mainly just replaced radiators, starters, etc. Any input would be appreciated.
