    IH 784 Alternator wiring?

    I have the Lucas alternator and it tested OK. The problem is it is not charging on the tractor. The guy testing the ALT said that the small terminal was the ground and the 2 larger terminals were positive. I have the 2 large terminals (on back on the ALT) wired to the positive side of the...

    I have a IH 784 and need to change the hydraulic fluid, since I will be changing the filter and need to troubleshoot the reason for a weak loader.

    Cold start issues? on a International 684

    Just got the 684 with a nice Rhino Loader today, and it is tricky to start. The fuel needs to be set just right and it turns over for awhile and then starts, and when cold it will die. Then just re-start and it will run if you just let it idle. While it is warming up it blows blueish smoke...

    Drop Spindle??

    Need help, I just removed the bushings on the spindle housing and installed the new ones (FYI it is a PITA). My questions is, the bushings are too big to let the spindle go in the housing, since the top of the spindle (were the bracket goes to turn the tire) is larger then the bushings. The...

    International 684 with low power

    I just bought and have yet to take delivery of a 1979 International 684 tractor with a Rhino Loader. The dealer replaced the fuel system in an attempt to get it to run, but it runs poorly. I am thinking low compression. I need to run a compression check both dry and wet and then see if it is...

    Parts supply????

    OK, I am a Newbie and was wondering who has the best parts online for the Massey. I was wondering since I hate to drive 80 miles to the dealer to pay and order the part at a high price and then have to drive 80 miles again to pick it up. FYI, I am currently working on the front axle, on bearings...

    Massey 230 front axle repairs?

    I just picked up what I thought was a 231, but it turns out to be a 230. No big deal, basically the same tractor, except the 230 has one cylinder on the left side for the power steering. I would of rather had manuel steering, but no big deal. The front axle had a missing bushing on the front of...

    Proud Massey 231 owner

    :licking: I just bought a used MF 231 with a Howse 5 ft shredder. The tractor just needs the center front axle bushing, tie rod ends, and the water temp gauge does not work. Rear tires are 90 to 100 % (one is brand new) and the fronts are brand new, fresh paint and the shredder is new also. I...

    Buying Advice  Massey 2605 vs Kumota L3400 vs New Holland vs Deere

    I am looking at new tractors that I can afford, and it looks like the 40 hp and under is what I need and can afford. I was wondering if the Kumota L3400 would hold up to the Massey 2605. They are both about the same on power, but the Massey is not a compact tractor and is built heavier. The main...
