    Pto on IH 454 locked up.

    Today, I got around to removing the cap from the lower smallish tube on the MCV. This is the picture of the fitting after I removed the cap. I started the engine and engaged the pto forward a couple inches to the first "stop". It doesn't stay there unless I hold it, which could be normal...

    Fabricate a homemade front loader from scratch vs. buying an old rust one for $500.00

    I haven't even got my new to me IH 454 all fixed up, and I'm thinking about a front loader... That is, wishing to have one. Just the idea of moving trash around, with a loader gets me excited. The truth is, I won't use it a lot, but find a tractor to be less of a tractor without a front...

    Testing hydraulic pressure Case-IH 454

    I've been given instruction on how and where to check the PSI on my tractor hydraulics (has to do with the pto not engaging at all) and now I've received both a high pressure gauge and a low pressure gauge. I've got a leak coming from precisely one of the points to test to the right of the...

    Pto on IH 454 locked up.

    In the pictures above, the pump fittings look a bit different. I don't have the inter tubing fitting that your picture shows. Do you know what type of adaptor / hose I need to make my pressure gauge fit into the pump once I remove the attached solid lines? Is the top on the flow to the pto...

    Pto on IH 454 locked up.

    I was surprised to see that my local Tractor Supply Co doesn't have pressure gauges. In the mean time, I've discovered a substantial leak that collected overnight on the garage floor. A circle 20 inches in diameter of honey appearing fluid located under the seat on the ground. I crawled...

    Pto on IH 454 locked up.

    The PTO on my newly acquired ih 454 is locked up. When engaged, it feels like it's engaging but doesn't turn. I was told it's probably the PTO clutch. The hitch raises and lowers fine, but I need the PTO to run a bush hog and stump grinder. Should I just replace the PTO clutch or is the...

    I'm just recently interested in tractors... More of an obsession.

    Hi y'all. One day, I'll get a tractor. I don't have a large use, just a handful of residences with little yard work and clean up when I make my little investments. I'm mostly in suburban areas. Still, I love diesel engines and leverage of all kinds. I'm sort of a big kid who likes toys.
