international harvester 574

Just bought this one for junk but going to try to get it running first. Its got major problems,---been sitting for 10 years or more out in the weeds. The loader is a 2050-A and is in good condition but I dont do tractor loaders, ( useless to me since I only use skidders here), so the loader will...

I just purchased a IH 574. Should the pto turn when my tractor is not running? It turns almost a complete turn. If it's engaged or not! When I start the tractor it will not turn. Even when the lever is engaged.

Three point hesitates when you pull the lever to raise it and then raises a bit slowly. There is a lever that appears to change the speed of the raising of the three point, and this lever does nothing when moved. I do have 2300 pounds of pressure at the hydraulic couplers. Anyone have an...

Hi, I bought a small farm (in the UK) in 2012 and I now have one International Harvester 574 (diesel) tractor for use on it. My main jobs are going to be related to hay-making (55 acres) and boring holes for fence posts and tree planting jobs. I may need a log splitter attachment and a few...

I have a dual loader on my IH574 and it is connected to rear of tractor aux ports. I am going to change that since I have some new valves for the loader. Where can I tap into the supply and return line for the actual loader and get away from my aux ports? I do not have a power beyond plate...

Well decided to start my 1974 IH 574 gas this morning (been sitting idle for 2 months) and no dice. Battery is fully charged and the starter is fine ( jumped the starter and it fired right up). When I shut it off and then try to restart I get nothing. I am thinking either a bad ignition switch...

Hi everyone, Sorry if this has been discussed but what would be the best oil for my IH 574 gas for heavy use in the winter temps 10-32 degrees? The manual says 10w but all I can find is non detergent. Is there an acceptable alternative weight such as 15W-40 or what is a good brand of 10W...

Hi, Hello all... I am new to this forum and tractors, as I have just recently bought land that needs a tractor to maintain it. I have an old IH 574 diesel tractor. I have got a copy of the user manual and workshop manual on a CD, but there are no diagrams in the user manual. There are...

I have found a small drip on the back of the left edge of my fuel tank. It is the saddle type tank with a flange bolted to the fenders and it appears to have a gasket fitted in between the flange and the fender. I have down-loaded the parts diagram from Messicks, (very helpful). The service...

I ran my tractor low on oil and I now have a beautiful knock in the engine. I dropped the oil pan, and there was no parts in the oil. How can I find out which bearing is bad?

Hi, Does anyone know of any websites where I can get a free download of the owner's manual and service/maintenance manual for an International 574 tractor? Cheers, Rob

First post on the fourm, lots a questions for you pro's here goes. I have recently inherited/purchased from my Grandfathers estate an Internatial 574 row crop tractor and need to move it from South Carolina to Georgia. It would be about a 115 mile trip or about 2 hours. While I have trailered...

Being new to this tractor, what oil should I use when I change it? Also, I'm not seeing a normal oil fill cap; do I fill the oil through the dipstick tube?

After a while the coil on my 574 gets hot and the tractor stops. I tried two new coils and the same thing. I then put on the old coil and its starts right up and run better than with the new coils I put on until that one get hot. I put in new point and cond. and it has the autolite disbutor with...

Howdy! I'm considering a used IH 574. How can I identify the year it was manufactured? Any opinions on durability & reliability of the synchro tranny? Thanks

Can anyone tell me which model of NA (i.e AC Delco) alternator would fit the IH 574? I have a Lucas on it now and am considering a winter project to completely re-wire and modernize the beast. Currently, only batt and starter works and all wiring has been "messed" with by previous owner(s). Many...

I can't find the torque Specs for my clutch plate and flywheel. does anybody have a service manual they could look in for me. I went to Case IH and they found it but wouldn't tell me. They wanted $172.50 to buy the manual, nice customer service ... found one on e-bay for 58.00 but i cant get it...

Started my 574 IH gas the other day,,, It started to smoke like steam with clack clack..clack ..Shut down and noticed radiator fluid dripping from top of motor.. About a month ago noticed crack in top letting out exhaust... Thoughts..? Could I have just blown a gasket.?? But the...

I've owned an IH 574 for several years. The lift and brakes were weak so I decided to change the hydraulic filter. I did this (I hope correctly) and then I attempted to bleed the brakes. When I opened one of the bleeders and pushed the brake, no fluid came out. I then discovered I had NO...

It just broke. Was lifting with medium sized load on FEL while stopped, heard a clunk and tractor dipped to starboard. Parts on order and repair should be done by weekend.

I'm looking at buying an IH 574 for my small hobby farm. Basically need it to do some snow (push or blower) and move the horse manure around. Found what looks like a very sturdy tractor up the road but it's got an issue no one can seem to identify. My uncle who has THREE tractors thinks it's...

I have a IH 574 (1977) and all of a sudden the pto will not engage. Everything else works, PS, brakes,3pt. hydraulics. I've heard that sometimes changing the hydraulic filter and fluid may do the trick, did that today and still no PTO. I have a I&T shop manual for it, but some of this looks...

Hi, I'm new to this site and thought I needed to post here as first post, but will save the pto question for the appropriate post. Thanks.

Have a 574 with brake, hydraulic issues. At best I can get a right brake with bleeding but never a left or both. Can get fluid out of right bleeder but never the left one, just air. The right brake does not last long either. Sometimes if I get on a downhill/sidehill I will loose PTO, steering...

Had a problem with my C/IH 574 hyd system, 3pth was "shuddering", also FEL not working and steering assist not working (well). The PTO and transmission did not seem to be affected. Based on suggestions I found using search on this forum, solved the problem. My screen that is inside the...

I just picked up a 78 IH 574 with a 4 cylinder diesel that had a freeman 4000 loader and kelly 70 backhoe. The previous owner said the hydraulic pump was bad and after getting it home I replaced it. The tractor runs fine but now I'm not getting any power to the loader or backhoe along with the...

I have a 1970's IH 574 farm tractor with loader. Our farm is non-operating and this is the one remaining tractor we've held on to (sold our Farmall M last year....hated to see it go). I use the tractor with bucket for property maintenance, and simply can't imagine living without it. The...

I have a problem with the brakes on my 574 international. Recently all the hydrulics stopped working, power steering, brakes, lift etc. Pressure on the tipping pipe was 1500psi. Fitted a new hyd. pump pipe, cleaned the gauze on the lift and pressure was ok 2700/2800 psi. Bled the system best i...

Does anyone know the dimensions of the drawbar for a 574 IH tractor. I'm pretty sure the pivot pin is .950 other than that I don't know any other dimensions length, thickness, or width? My 574 has no drawbar and I'm trying to locate one for it. Thanks

I really feel like a knuckle head right now ... But here is a question that I think is simple but feel I need someone to verify what I am thinking... The Postion Control Lever on my IH 574 will not stay all the way up... immediately slips back to middle range... I'm thinking it needs Hyd fuild...

IH 574 3 point hitch When the tractor is started the three point hitch will go all the way up and won't drop down. The 3 point will "leak" to its lowest point in about 24 hours when the tractor is not running. When it is started again, it rises back up; it will lift the bush hog. The...

I have an IH 574 diesel tractor that starts right up and idles fine, but when I try to accelerate, it dies. Was told it has a broken throttle shaft, but not sure. Don't want to remove injector pump until I know more. Anyone face this problem and have any advise? thanks, Roger

I inherited an IH 574 and would like to get a FEL for it. I see different model loaders listed for IH 574 and 574 Util. I presume the 574 is a row crop tractor and believe I have a Util ... but how do I know for sure? Thanks!

I have a IH 574. Just this year I noticed that the pto started to run without being engaged. I haven't found any thing in the manual that explains why it is running. I could use some ideas before I talk to my dealer. Thanks

I am looking for a electrical diagram for the 574. I am going to rewire the tractor an would like to have a copy to work off of. Any help would be great. Thanks

Does anyone here own a IH574. I have one with a problem with the PTO. Suspect a pto clutch, but i plan to change the filter this weekend to see if that helps. Any info would be helpful.

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if anyone knows what the flow rate (litres or gallons per min.) for the standard hydraulic pump is on an IH 574? Thanks in advance, Glenn

hey there guys, not exactly a compact tractor but.. My IH 574 has no right brake at the moment. I have bled the line, a lot of air came out, now its just oil but still there is no pressure building up at all. Dad said maybe the master cylinder has a dodgy seal and is allowing oil to bypass the...

I know someone that just bought a IH 574 2wd w/2200 loader and a sims cab. It has the foot throtle, an auxilary hydrolic outlet, and a few other options. It came with tire chains and a snowblower. It has over 4000 hours and is in great shape. The tractor was never abused or even worked realy...
