My 7060 did that at about 200 hrs. The hydraulic pump had already began failing and the metal shavings clogged up and caused power steering pump to fail. Had to be a design problem to fail on a new tractor. It was repaired under warranty

I have a similar shudder/ vibration on my m7060 with only 270 hrs. It is most noticeable at higher engine rpm. Dealer could not figure out cause and got Kubota involved. They said it’s a known issue on the m7060 and require the “steering control “ replacement. Supposedly there are none in...

Hello, I recently purchased a new M7060 a couple months ago and had some questions about what is normal in its operation. I have always driven tractors that are 40+ years old and are well versed in repairing and keeping them running so Im not a stranger to mechanical issues. I have put...

Was bailing the other day and one of the belts broke while tying off the last bale. It broke at the joint where two ends of belt meet, the wire staple looking things pulled out/through end of belt. Is this a very easy fix? Any special tools or tricks needed to replace? I assume I can...

Im trying to trace down an engine miss at low and mid throttle. At full rpm it runs smooth and still seems to have plenty of power . The problem seems to have developed over the winter as all last year it ran perfectly. Things replaced so far are plugs, cap and rotor button. Last year I...

Need some advice if our International 444 could handle a disc mower. Its a heavy old tractor with wheel weights, suitcase weights and 38 hp at pto. We currently mow maybe 100 acres of hay over the course of the year and use an old massy wooden pitman arm sickle mower. I am tired of fighting with...

I also posted this in the hydraulic section, I have an international 444 that the hydraulics suddenly quit working. Both the 3 point and auxiliary valve have ceased to function. I used it yesterday to unroll a round bale and everything was working fine, went down this afternoon to unroll some...

I recently purchased a New Holland 630 4x4 baler. I have never used a round baler before and have no clue on the right method of use, like how fast, what throttle position, and like how big to make the windrows? I have read some where that there is a special method to make a core to get...

I have an old MF 12 square baler and it keeps eating through grade 5 bolts even when there is almost no load on it they will shear. Is something out of adjustment or do I need a higher grade bolt? I can spin everything by hand when empty so I dont think anything is binding. Maybe dull knife?

Im having a problem with the distributor on out international 444. After I run it an hour the points and whole visible interior of the distributor is full of black metal powder. Its as fine as talcum powder and is the color of graphite and is able to be picked up with a magnet. I can clean...

How big of a tractor as far as engine hp and pto hp does it take to operate a roll baler? Like something making 5'x5' bales? We have a International 444 with a around 42 engine hp and 38 pto hp. It has weighted wheels and is a heavy old tractor that has no trouble making square bales with...

Im new to farming and tractor use so, this might be a dumb question. Can I add additional hydraulic hook ups to our International 444 to run implements that require hydraulic use? I would like to upgrade from our very old sickle bar to a newer disk mower that requires the hydraulics to...

I have an old international 444 tractor with a brass radiator. It is leaking along 3" of the seam between the top and bottom parts of the reservoir tank. There is no direct fit replacement radiator available for this tractor so, the only option is to fix this one or modify a radiator from a...
