So I'm going over my 1962 International Harvester B-414 (4-cycl/gas). Does anyone know where i can get a basic owner's manual that will tell me how to do routine maintenance and operation? I have a FULL Shop/Repair manual and it's okay if I need to do a major repair, but relatively simple stuff is completely ignored.
What type of motor oil should I use? I think SAE 10W30 is what I read, for the gas engine (somewhere??). I think the engine is a BC 144. I also think I found a Fram oil filter web-page that says it uses a Fram CH820PL (or several cross-references to that).
Hydraulic oil is "Hy-Trans". I'm using AW 32 Hydraulic oil, which I'm told is okay. Seems to me you fill the resevoir right to the very top of the FILL PLUG, under the seat.
Tranny & rear end BOTH use 80-90 gear oil. They drain from the same spot, fill from the same spot, use the same level plug. The level plug seems to be on left side, near where your left foot would be while sitting on tractor seat. I was down 2 quarts! The fill is on top, just right of gear selector.
Okay, how do I tighten the water pump belt? Seems awfully loose, but no obvious, conventional belt tensioning adjustment.
THANKS!
