Everyone -THANK YOU. I appreciate you guys taking the time to respond. The tractor does need a full tune up as its started sputtering out just while raising the front loader- I've got everything ordered and I'll give her a full day at the spa next week. Including hydraulic fluid flush and new...

bump for help....

Hi All, I recently purchased a 1979 Lo Boy / International tractor with a 1050 loader, great little machine. I purchased it from the second owner, the original owner fabricated a full underbody mount to attach a D100. Its severely overbuilt and works well (other than the bucket leaking down and...

Here’s the schematic from The manual Showing the linkage. Unfortunately it’s not the most useful but better than nothing

So the line with my finger on it is the supply for the 3 mini spool (and subsequently the bucket tilt). The mini spool is located under the joystick with the controls on the other side (the two yellow long linkage knobs)

Hi All, This forum has been a life saver when it comes to keeping my older tractors and loaders running on the farm. I recently purchased an older bucket truck to help with building the barn and other tasks around the property. The truck has been well serviced and cared for by a large...

I found the leak to be in one of the lines by the bracket. Its not very big and I think cutting out about 1/2" of the pipe will remove the rusted spot and allow me to use a compression fitting. Any suggestions where to get a compression fitting capable of such pressure?

Had some alternator problems, took it out to get rebuilt and it turns out the previous owner did a real hack job installing it. There was about an inch of washers used as spacers, the timing case was cracked into three pieces underneath it and it was shaking at low rpms. Dreading having to...

Hi All, After much searching i pulled the trigger on a 310D. It was the 4wd that sealed the deal for me even though it was a little out of my price range. Its been a great machine, I use it for clearing my property and doing some 'landscaping'. I bought it from the original owner who used it...

Hi All, After several months of looking I finally pulled the trigger on a back hoe loader. Shes got 5,500 hours, one owner and though the engine is smooth, she needs TLC. A bunch of the cylinders are leaking, and the pins have slop but shes strong and the price was fair. I own 3 acres of...

Hi All, Im looking at a 410C 4x4 with 5k hours, guy is asking $9,000, has owned it for a long time, second owner. Aside from the regular stuff (smoke, worn pins..etc) anything specifically I should be focusing on or testing prior to purchasing? Is 5k hours a lot? WHat should have been replaced...

Hi All, Hope I'm not asking for too much.. just looking for a backhoe /loader with 4x4 or MFWD for under $10k. I dont mind some mechanical work or welding. Cash in hand. Prefer a clutch over a torque converter... thanks! george

Hi All, I am currently looking at a 1974 Multihoe made by Pettiibone. Its sat for probably 5-7 years, has a Detroit diesel (3-53 I believe), air over hydraulic Wagner brakes and supposedly 1,500 hours according to the gauge on the cluster. 2 wheel drive, very heavy machine. The current owner...

I came across a 1984 JCB 1400 Turbo loader/backhoe, its been sitting for about 5 years, has 4,200 hours on it, new tires (5 years old now but no wear), possibly a broken hose. I spoke to the owner, he purchased it, used it to build his new house, had plans to build another house but sold the...

Hi All, recently purchased a house with 3 acres of property. Being a DIYer my whole life I'm too old to change now. The property needs a lot of maintenance and landscaping and with my back the wheel barrow and spade isnt cutting it. Im in the market for a loader /backhoe, something on the...
