mid to late 60s international 3514

[mtrestore09]

hey folks,
I have been recently approached by a older couple that has what I believe to be a mid to late 60s international 3514 diesel tractor. its equipped with a front loader and backhoe. witch would more then likely be apart of IH construction equipment line. i believe dresser bought that line out many years ago, and is now owned by komatsu. anyway they want it gone and offered to give it to me as long as i put my best effort into getting it going again.
the as is details are. been sitting for a number of years, both buckets are on the ground but attached to tractor, surprisingly both stabbers are held up without chains, and all tires are basically brand new!
as i am a one man operation i would like to here some input on weather or not to try and get it running to lift everything off the ground and load it or unhook hydraulic lines and come-along the boom and lifting arms up to clear the trailer. also if you do suggest lifting under its own power, line me out one what i should be prepaired for being its on the other side of the state and don't wanna forget something stupid.
thanks for and input and il do my darnedest to answer any questions.

Was it running when it was parked? If so, going to need new engine oil and filter, fuel filter, drain the fuel tank and refill with fresh, new battery, some hand tools to crack the injector lines in case you need to bleed them. With any luck that will get it going enough for you to get it loaded and home where you can go over it better and get it going.

We've got the larger cousin to that unit, a 3616. Those tractor backhoes were good units in their day. Parts are problematic but engine and drive train components are still available. Pop bought his unit back in the 70's. I believe it is a 67 model. Had the heads redone and she still runs good to this day. Very strong hydraulics. I believe that they incorporated 3 separate hydraulic pumps. One problem area is typically the rack and pinion gear that runs the swing on the hoes. They wear over time and typically leak due to seal damage. Other than that they are strong hoes. If you have to spend a bunch of $$$ repairing the engine you will have more in it than it is worth. If it is in running condition they are good farm hoes.
