Thank you Boggen for your reply, some very good and useful information on old tractor restoration as well as cautions! I will take your advice to heart. My foot pedal by my brake is the "Clutch Disconnect Foot Pedal". I do not know if I have the Diff Lock pedal. I'll have to search around the...

I have a (new to me) case 580C Backhoe / Loader Serial Number: 8984780 Several questions for you guys as I rebuild stuff that was abused or broken on my new baby. 1. My power steering cap does not have a dipstick on it. To buy a new one just for the dipstick is crazy. I will have to make a...

Hi Guys, OK Last night I pulled the dashboard apart as much as I could. I need to tear it down a bit more tonight and try to open the dash up completely. I think I need to remove the steering wheel and the throttle leaver to do this properly. Hopefully then I can flip the dash up and see all of...

quick question for you guys. Which position will provide the most breakout force on my bucket. Currently as you see the pin is in the furthest position and I assume this is the most powerful position. But my neighbor thinks that moving it in to the closer setting would provide more power. Please...

Well I tried posting in the Construction Equipment forum but got nothing in response. I'm going to try here again. I figured out what the shuttle valve under the left side of the seat does. It's the POWER STEERING!!! Pulling the knob forward turns the power steering on and then pushing it back...

Hello Everyone, I was posting in the Case-IH forum area and they said I may have better luck over here in the Construction Equipment forum So I received my new (for me) tractor and have a few questions. First I need some identification of things on the dashboard because some parts will need...

Hi Guys, OK So I received me new (for me) tractor and have a few questions. First I need some identification of things on the dashboard because some parts will need repaired. I believe the silver button down below the key slightly to the right is the glow plug button but it doesn't do...

Hi Guys, I just purchased a new (for me) tractor. I got an IH 3444 (or so it says) off of ebay. It's in very good shape from the pics and video so I'm looking to get some good information for the thing and put it to good use in my yard...

Hi Guys, I'm fixing some Hydraulic issues on my old 1841 Ford Tractor. As part of my work I plan on replacing my Hydraulic Fluid Filter. It's a blue spin-on filter and it is labeled FORD. I will take a pic if necessary but the number on it is 77000?0 Anyone know what new updated part I need...

Hi Guys, I have not yet gotten my user manual for my tractor though I have one on order now. But I need to get a battery for my new baby. Ford 1841-S What's the recommended battery for this tractor? The guy I got it from had some old junky car battery in there and I'm not sure which...

Hi Guys, I am finding it difficult to search for specific things that I want. It appears that the search function on this forum uses OR logic for all searches no matter what you do. I have tried enclosing my phrase in quotes, I have tried using ampersand (&) between keywords. I have tried plus...

Hi Guys, I'm having an issue with my brakes. -Not the brake shoes... they are fine! I got the star gear adjustment in the vertical slot to work exactly as it should. That worked like a charm. There must be some good brake shoe material still left on my brakes! :thumbsup: The bigger problem I'm...

My fuel line has been partly changed over to rubber so I can just loosen the hose clamp on that. But I think I need to remove my little bowl filter fitting anyway so I can properly remove the bottom of my carb. Here are some pics. OK I'm going to Messick's tomorrow to get some gaskets for my...

OK Here are some pictures for everyone. Looks like I have some different stuff than Kirk was expecting? Not sure though so I'll be interested in feedback. I still need to figure out how to adjust the breaks. I found what I think is a small 1.5 inch slot on the inside cover plate for my break...

Hi Guys, I just purchased a Ford 4000 Tractor with front end loader and backhoe. I was told it was a ford 4000 with the original engine. The guy said it's yellow because it was an industrial unit. In fact it still has a license plate on the back. I am rather handy with stuff and will be doing...
