In 2005 I purchased a 1956 IH 240 Utility tractor. The owner had passed away and I bought it from his widow. At that time I had never even sat on a tractor, let alone owned one. The brother of the deceased owner showed me a few things about the tractor and he made mention at that time that the...

My IH 240 keeps dying when work is done. It drives in all gears fine. I am trying to dig a trench that is 4 inches wide and i am using a potato plow minus the blade and when i try to sink in in and pull it dies and has trouble restarting. I am only sinking the plow 6 inches at a time so I dont...

Originally the front seal on the factory pump was blowing hydraulic oil into the crank case and overfilling the engine. Now however the hydraulic oil starts puking out the vent, so I started catching it. If hydraulics puked a quart, engine oil is low a qt. I don't know if the systems cross...

Decided to convert original 6 volt generator system to 12 volt alternator with built in regular. I bought a new 10SI Wilson alternator but have run into issues with now having to fabricate a new mounting bracket and tensioner arm. Does anyone have any suggestions for sourcing brackets from...

Hello! I'm looking for a IH 240 Farmall hood. I want to install a vertical exhaust on my Utility. I have a hood that has had a cut hole repaired and will consider a trade. Thanks, Dave

I am looking at purchasing our first tractor. My wife and I have a small ten acre ranch and rely too heavily on our neighbors good graces for helping us out. I will be using it for bush hogging, arena maintenance, small plowing, discing, manure spreading and post hole digger operation. I would...

I have a IH 240 Utility and while moving the gear box locks up. Cant shift, cant move. Any one deal with this before?

Anyone know if the hydraulics on a IH 240 work off the engine or the transmission? I know the PTO works off the transmission, but I wasn't sure if the hydraulics do as with the Ford 2N, 8N, and 9N models. This is the deciding factor in whether or not I purchase this tractor.

I am fixing up an old IH 240 I just bought (my first tractor). I noticed it is missing the white skirts that go along the bottom of the hood and instrument panel. Can someone help me out by sending me some pictures and dimensions of them so I can make some in my tool & die shop with sheet...

Hello; I have just gotten a IH 240 Utility. It is my first tractor, but I have been around tractors on and off my whole life. I plan on fixing it up and using it around the house to grade the road and disk and plow my small vineyards. Any sugestions as to what I can hook to the tractor to...

I recently purchased an old 240 Utility, but after I got it home and started to play with it it seems to only have a high range of gears. My question is did some of these come only with high range or do I have a problem? Also if they all have low and high range how do you change between the two...

Hey guys Found an IH 240 today that's sposta be in "near running" condition that I can buy pretty cheap. I'm thinking about gamblng on it; just hanging a hay rake on it & leaving it there so I don't have to do so much implement changing on the big tractor. What do yall think? any "specifics"...

I bought a IH 240 this summer in really nice condition. Several people have told me it is a rare tractor including one IH collector. Is it pretty rare and possibly worth money as a collector item? I don't plan on selling it. I'm going to use it which brings me to my next question: Can you...

I have two tractors I would like to sell. One is an International Harvester 240 Industrial...probably a late 1950's model. The other is a Farmall Cub...maybe a late 1940's model. They have not been used in 4-5 years. Tires are good. The Farmall has a blade that mounts on the front. Anybody know...

Does anybody know any good sources for parts for an International Harvester 240? Looking for some PTO parts.

I just bought a 1960 IH 240 Utility, back hoe/loader. When I went and looked at it, it ran fine. The only thing wrong with it was the hydraulic pump is leaking severely, looks like a seal, and it lacked a lot of TLC. The guy had been using it at a job site when the seal went out and that is...
