Thanks for this video. I have watched a few times as I inherited a b414 this year that had been sitting. I was mostly watching transmission and hydraulic, but I watched the engine oil also. I'm glad. Mine had the spring and washer, however it was installed above the element forcing it away from the housing. If I had not watched, I might have reinstalled the same way. Thanks
Hello - thank you for sharing your know-how. My request would be for a how to change the fan belts on a b414. My unit has (or had) two belts, the one closer to the engine bloc broke. My shop manual does make things clear for me. Thank you!
ONE OF THE BEST, RELIABLE 33 - 40 PTO HORSE POWER TRACTORS BUILT. OUR OLDEST 434D HAS PASSED THE 10 THOUSAND MARK & STILL RUNS GREAT. BOTH 434 D'S WERE PURCHASED NEW. I ABERAGE I GALLON FUEL BURN PER HOUR WHEN BALING. SET THE RPM @ 1850 RPM. VERY STRONG TORQUE RANGE. SAD DAY WHEN IHC AG DIVISION WAS ABSORBED BY CASE.
First is a big thank you for your time on making these videos...It is a huge help to a newbie like myself. I will have many questions in the future but an important one to hopefully help me and others is regarding the level or amount of hydraulic fluid when refilling. The manual does say three gallons but it also says to fill to the TOP of the housing...and many other people are saying the same thing around the Internet...I am just trying to be sure on which level is the correct method as I am brand new to anything hydraulic related and want to service my newly acquired B414 before using it.
The original owners manual states 3 inches of fluid level. You don't want to fill it as the oil will expand when heated and there needs to be space for the level to vary as cylinders are filled and emptied. If the reservoir is over filled you stand a chance of .blowing seals out from pressure when the oil expands. Thanks for watching!
I have a 444 gas, is the hydraulic fluid and transmission fluid the same and it has a front end loader does it require extra, the loader doesn't have a separate reservoir.
444s are a bit tricky, a Canadian model the transmission and hydraulic are separate reservoirs, whereas I believe the US models the transmission and hydraulics shared a reservoir. It should not require extra oil once the loader has been cycled so the cylinders have oil. Thanks for watching!
Nice video, i have a 444, spending some time and money on it now, new starter and alternator, the old one was burnt out. Also changing oil filter housing to a spin on type for easier filter change.
Can you give me any ideas or would you know anybody up in Canada that would have an idea on how to set it I tried sending it by ear and I can't get it close enough keeps popping
Hi, I am new at this but at beginning of video you removed 3 drain plugs but only filled in one place...is this correct, that one fill point,was for the three points drained...
Yes, the transmission and differential cases are all filled from the one spot. There are 3 plugs because there are three low spots in the cases so to drain all the oil you need the three plugs. Thanks for watching!

Hello, Thank you for this informative video.I have a B275 and wasn't sure about the hydraulic level and what oil to use. I Found the answer in your video and comments. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I just bought what I believe to be a 444 with bd154 my steering has great big heavy duty cylinder across under the axle and this tractor sits low has 16.1 rear tuff tires. Was told it came from a air force base and was used for mowing slopes. Serial number plate is gone. I need some help identifying exactly what I have purchased. It runs fair but has a few small issues and missing sheet metal . The peaces that go around under the hood and behind the grill. I would sure like to email you some pictures of it
Hi Dave, Great video. Very useful. I have a 444 that was my grandfather's tractor. I never really new how to check and drain transmission oil. And how to check hydraulic oil level. Thanks, David from Vermont.
Hello Michael, I read a comment you put 2 years ago on video of a fuel leak on a 7.3, you mentioned a specific filter. I am trying to find out more information about how to clean the screen and change the filter. Any way we could speak? Thank you
Hi Dave, I have a IH444, the hydraulic drain plug is not male like yours i.e cannot use a spanner, it has a 4 sided square indent and I need a bar to undo it, it is also damaged so hard to get out or tighten. Mine has a magnet glued to the back and is about 7/8" dia and 3/4" long and has about 7 threads. Can you tell me the size/threads/type of your drain plug ? I can't find it in any of the manuals. Thanks in advance, greetings from Scotland.
Thank you for this video! So helpful. I know nothing about anything mechanical. Just bought a very old very poorly maintained IH 434 Diesel. I can’t figure out what year exactly (SN B27396). It’s dumping oil or hydraulic fluid. Seems to need a new solenoid. Doesnt start unless I bang on it. I’m very rough shape. 1:10 Have been trying to find someone to help me maintain but doesn’t seem to be any tractor mechanics around. Any suggestions for BC? I think with this video I can at least see now how to keep topping up the hydraulic fluid until I can replace the lines. Please keep making easy to use and videos with what tools needed etc. so so so so so helpful!
Hello Dave I have a B 414 and don't know how to get the front end bucket up.....do you have a tutorial on how to uses all of the levers under seat tonoperate
There are a few different methods of connecting the loader to operate the controls. I expect you are going to have to open a valve to the loader and close the valve to the rear lift to operate your loader. Thanks for watching!
wondering if u have any videos on how to change the hydraulic fluids etc on a international 574 backhoe and front loader just bought it and want to change the oil and filter and fluids thanks
Me again... I'm having trouble sourcing an oil filter element for my B-275... the CNHI online parts website shows it as unavailable. Is there a good Canadian online supplier for these?
Hi Dave Your videos are great. I have a 1964 B414. The suction filter looks like it hasn’t been out in years. It seems impossible to move. I have tried hammering and a little heat but no go. Do you have any tips for this. Thanks John
I have finally got the filter off by using more force and more hammering. The problem was that the oil was full of water and the filter was rusted in. Thanks for your help. John
Do you know where to get the suction screen? The one with the curved pipe is the wrong size pipe unless they have an adapter I don’t know about. Last time I had to weld the correct pipe to the screen and that damaged the fine outer screen. The suction screen under the right of the seat. I have not seen one available since my b414 diesel 16 years ago. I have a 1967 2444 gas now that uses that same hydraulic filter suction screen.
@@jethrobodine9867 The only one I have seen available new is the one with the 3/4" pipe for standard steering, with power steering the suction pipe is 1".
Hi Dave, great run through thank you, precise for the novice (becoming amateur due to having to...). Your videos are addictive. Im in Australia, any issue running iso68 hydraulic fluid in a B414? Thanks again, Nathan
Ok thanks today Oct 13 2023 I’m changing all fluids I notice my transmission on my in 444 Bd154 the oil is creamy yellow what would cause that Thanks for any info u can tell me Love All your videos I rebuilt my complete Bd154 from your video It runs great thanks for that But why is my transmission Cream Yellow Can u give me any advice
Excellent video ,just bought a 444 and was trying to figure out what trans fluid to use , now i know , the manual is not specific, well not to a retired electrician , hey man keep up these great videos , greetings from Ontario .
Hello, Have question..I have a 1964 IH 424 diesel tractor..I cannot get the hydraulic filter to break free. Wanting to take out and clean filter. I have put channel lock, and wise grips and that didn't do it. then i put a heavy hose on hydraulic line and hooked a chain and 4-wheeler to try to jerk.. that didn't work either..any suggestion on how to get off...Thanks
I suspect that some wise soul has stuck in there with some sort of sealant and basically glued it in. About the only thing you can do is to keep wiggling on it til it breaks free. Thanks for watching!
Hello, I had reviewed your video last summer WRT changing rear axle and it help me greatly in replacing my axle on my B414, thank you. My tractor is fixed. Since you are the expert with these types of tractor, if you don't mind, I would ask your advice on this other problem I am having with my B414 Inter for about two winters now. During the cold months, the transmission is hard to engage. From neutral, gears are grinding even though I press on the clutch and I have to wait sometimes more than 20 sec before the gear stop turning. Once engaged, I would push on the clutch and the transmission stick for another 5-6 seconds( it is a long time when you use a snowblower!) specially when in 1st or reverse (the two gear I use to snowblow). I think the clutch is good and I read somewhere that it could be a oil viscosity problem.(too thick). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have a B414, diesel 4 cyl, 1962, 4 low and 4 high. Thank you.
We had the same problem with our 384 (Newer model of the same tractor), that is a worn pressure plate not disengaging the clutch. You may be able to adjust the levers to get a little more life out of it but the best bet is to replace the clutch and pressure plate. Thanks for watching!
Hi great video by chance do you sell parts I have a B75 am looking for part #704380R1 support depth control or who I can contact have hit all salvage and bone yards in the USA .
Thanks for the video! Yeah, I've got a B275 that I picked up 10 years ago and other than oil changes every couple of years just because, I don't think we ever put more than 2 or 3 hours a year on it dragging equipment around the yard at the shop. Now we have it at the family farms in Texas putting out hay, and I realized I'd forgotten how to do everything but the oil changes. I'll have to look at it, but, you're saying there is a drain plug for the gearbox/transmission, and then a drain plug for the rear end, but they both get filled at a plug by the shifter? Also, the B275 'Jensales' all in one service manual (unless I"m missing a section), was really lousy about covering maintenance, but it seems to state that the preferred hydraulic fluid is SAE 20 motor oil for mid-range temps. I didn't get the manuals for a few years after we got it, and at the time it seemed to have clear-ish hydraulic fluid, so we added whatever the International dealer in Okanogan WA at the time had in 5 gallon containers when I had to replace some gaskets on the hydraulic valve body. It seems to work fine, we're lifting 1000 lb round bales with it now, but, do you have a recommendation one way or the other? Thanks again, it certainly is a fun little tractor now that we use it regularly.
There should be 3 drain plugs, one at the back half of the clutch housing, one under the transmission, and one at the back for the differential, and they all fill from the plug by the shifter. For the hydraulics our dealer always recommended CaseIH Hytran oil but if you're using regular hydraulic oil and it's working fine don't worry about it. The 275 is a great tractor, much sturdier than competitors in it's size range. Thanks for watching!
@@CanadianRedneck15 I finally made it down to the farm we're using it on tonight and took a look at it after your video, yep, now it all makes sense! Thanks for the response, yeah, I like it because it's compact and so far, is lifting the big round bales just fine. I do see some fluid changes and a little maintenance in my future though. Thanks again!
any advice on what to replace that gasket on the bottom of that oil filter housing with? the one on top of those washers over that bolt head. mine leaked something bad, i permatexed a new one, still leaks.
Just bought my first tractor, a 434, this video great help so well described thanks, got to read up on the speed/torque amplifier it has fitted though as it got a Filter too 🤦♂️
I guess I didn't realize that you could get a TA in a 434. There shouldn't be a filter for it, I expect it would be a straight mechanical TA. Thanks for watching!
It is refreshing to see a mechanic not wearing rubber gloves and using air or electric tools. I continue to find myself watching your videos when i need to learn more about my 444. THANKS!
Help please! Just put my 444 back together after full engine rebuild and it’s sucking thru exhaust and blowing thru intake... did I put crank in 180 out? And what’s easiest way to correct this oops?! Thank you again !
@@brandonbonter7341 A 424 would be similar but I can't say if it would be the same or not. You can get filters at a CaseIH dealer, TSC, or auto parts store. I would use a good quality diesel engine oil in 10w30 for a gas or 15w40 for a diesel. Thanks for watching!
Just bought a gas 444 myself. Glad to see a video showing how to change fluids. Do you have exact measurements for how much hydro, gear oil, and motor oil you need?
Great video thanks - about to do my first service of a 414 we bought a year ago. This video has given me a bit more confidence about exactly how to go about it.
@@CanadianRedneck15Possibly a dumb question, but do you know what the screw on the top of the filter head is for? The operators and workshop manual don't mention it at all, and so I guess it is unnecessary to mess with when replacing the filter? My only guess is it makes pre-filling easier, which also appears to be optional?
Buenas tardes amigo tengo un tractor 744 internacional tienes videos de como hacer la dirección hidráulica gracias buena tarde saludos desde Hidalgo México
Happy new year lad! Is there a video of you changing the water pump on your international b414? (I had previously cleaned the radiator and the piping system, but when im using the rotavator the engine overheats). Thank you for your help!
Happy new year to you as well! I don't have a video on changing the water pump, sorry. Check your fan belt, it can slip under load if it's not tight and causing heating when the tractor is working hard. Thanks for watching!
@@siriossirios2178 The pulley on the water pump is a 2 piece pulley, the front half is threaded onto the rest of the pulley and held in place by a set screw. Back off the set screw and tighten the front half against the belt, when it's tight enough line up the set screw with one of the 4 grooves through the threads and tighten the set screw and jam nut.
Glad you mentioned the spring and washer inside the eng. oil canister . Over the years I can't tell you how many of them are missing, doesn't matter the make or model of the tractor. It may have been good to mention to have the engine at operating temp. and drive it around before draining the fluids so as to get the sediment suspended and drained out.

So the 3 drainplugs from transmission drain the same compartment? And same compartment is refilled only by the fillerhole next to the gear lever? Thanks for the video
thank you. i just found you recently. and then you are covering a tractor close to mine. i just got a 354. and about to do all this to it lol. i just cleaned it up painted it. fixed lot lil issues first. but don't have the $ to dump into fluids etc now. its like 150$ in my area to change just trans and hydro oil. then oil looks like another 75$ shew wee. LOL. but I'm gonna and i think remove the top of the trans and fix what i think is a leak. seen a bunch of blue rtv. grrr i hate that stuff. ill make a gasket if its not to bad to remove the shifter fork plate.
Great video has helped me with my old IH444. My manual mentions removing and cleaning/replacing an orifice filter behind a bolt when servicing hydraulics. Have not serviced it yet, do you change this filter ?
καλησπερα απο Ελλαδα ,εχω ακριβως το ιδιο τρακτερ 1969 (444) εχω αλλαξει αντλια υδραυλικου γιατι εμπαινε λαδι απο το υδραυλικο συστημα στην μηχανη.Τωρα ομως που πηγα να κοιταξω τα λαδια ειδα παλι υπερβολικα λαδια στην μηχανη,απο που μπορει να πηγαινουν? Ευχαριστω πολυ και αν μπορειτε να μου στειλετε το email για να σας ρωτησω περισσοτερα.
Super review, Dave, thanks. And very timely as I just purchased a '65 B414 I'm still familiarizing myself with. Does the oil pan on a B414 have any sort of baffles? I'm asking because my pan is quite badly dented so I'm concerned about the oil pickup. I thought I could remove the pan and bang out the dents if there weren't any baffles. Thanks again! Oh, I'm Malcolm but using my daughter, Sarah's laptop :)
great video but i couldnt see what you did under the pedals on the adjuster i just picked up a 1958 international 420 utility when i shut it off and apply the parking breaks they won't hold on a hill id appreciate any help thanks al
Thanks very much Dave. I just changed the engine oil in a diesel B414 I'm trying to get running. Many fuel problems because it's been setting 10 years. The spring and washer is missing from the oil filter canister. I knew something was wrong. I was asking myself how does this work? Now I know and have to get the part numbers and find them.
Hi Dave. I Did the hydraulic fluid change exactly as yours. My 444 has a loader that was working ok before I did the change. Now it won't lift at all!! Eventually managed to get to lift, but needed very high revs and took ages to lift fully. I was hoping that when I released down (gravity not controlled cylinders) it would work, but it does not work at all now. I was wondering when I wiggled the filter pipe the same pipe was roating that goes into the pump via two jubilee clips. I cannot get to these clips due to the loader,. Wondering if air is getting in at that point ? any help much appreciated, thanks. P.S didn't touch the orifice filter.
@@CanadianRedneck15 Hi Yes I rechecked the level after all this trying, it had gone down by 1cm and it was frothy on the screwdriver, before, it was clear. Update, next day reversed up hill and added more oil so full to brim, and left oil plug off. Draft control lever fully forward as normal, tried position lever with isolation tap closed, no loader movement. Tried again with iso tap open, no movement of 3pt. Also looking through filler hole saw no oil movement throughout this. Moved draft control full back and saw oil movement and loader moved up very slowly, also 3pt moved. Lowering loader made oil overflow out of refill hole. Turned tractor off, drained some oil out so back to 7cm on screwdriver, put draft to fully forward, also tightened jubilee clip on pump input. Start tractor, this time the 3pt and loader work with position lever as originally before oil change. 3pt slow but always has been but loader very very slow and does not speed up with higher revs. Also oil is clear again. Phew sorry for ramblings. So things a lot better than before, but have you any idea why the loader is so slow ?
hi, I have an 65 mccormick international B414 diesel, does this one have the engine as the case international b414? do you know? I am looking for all the filters, but they dont have the "mccormick" in the parts catalouge.. they look ferly simular so.. thanks for any feedback :)
IH 444 IHB414 hydraulic oil change and filter replaced. Hydraulics on the rear controlling the bush hog will not stay up after cuttimg off the tractor and seemingly leak down over a period of time if bushhog is left in the up position. And even when hydralics are set at a position to go to another field. will have the bush hog lowering without do it from the hydr controls. Several people have said it is air in the system after changing the hydraulic fluid and that it needs to be bled. Does this sound correct to you, and if so, do I just slighly (just enough) crack a filler plug while tractor is running to bleed off some pressure till fluid comes out or is there another location and or techniques. Around or supposed to be a 1969 model. Thanks
Why would you leave it parked with the mower up? That is leaving pressure on things for no purpose, always leave your implements lowered to the ground. No need to bleed the hydraulics, they work the air out themselves. My guess is your lift cylinder is leaking by a bit.
I keep them down when implements are on it, but when mowing uneven ground I'll raise it a bit and after a bit it seems to leak down cutting groove in ground with the leading edge. And when no implement it seems to leak down with nothing on it. I was leaving it up in both situations temporarily, just to test it to see of it would hold without leaking down. I haven't used it yet with disc and or my grader so I wanted to make sure it is address for situations where it need to hold where put. Any videos dealing with where that leak might be? Thanks. Great Channel by the way.
@@7blueblaze Sorry, I misunderstood. Is your lever staying in position? When the tractor is running it should automatically lift the mower back up if it drops a bit to match the lever position. I'm sorry I'm not that up on hydraulic systems.
I think I have a 444. I’m in New Hampshire and the tractor has a Quebec dealer tag on it. But when I look at manuals I end up looking at a 384 manual a lot. This is a crazy question - my power steering cylinder works but leaks more and more. Ever rebuilt one? Or for that matter, can one be purchased?
Thanks for this video. My dad had a 434 gas and I just bought a property that came with a B414. How about doing a video on servicing the steering box on a B414. My tractor’s manual steering is very, very stiff. Kooky setup with the steering column going down through the fuel tank!🇨🇦👍🏻
Jack the front end up and steer it that way, you may need thrust bearings for the front spindles or they may just need greased. I do have a video on rebuilding the steering box here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YjUDRWeNCfE.html Thanks for watching!
Did you stick a screw driver or something in the hole to see if there is anything blocking it? There are at least a couple of pretty decent size passage ways for the oil to migrate to the front case, it would take a lot to block them. Thanks for watching!
For engine oil you want a good quality diesel engine oil, originally they called for a straight 30 weight oil, but 15-40 should work also. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video. I have a B414 from about 1964. I have just done a video about changing the water pump and asked a question to viewers about the temperature sensor. Have a look if you get a chance. FJT.
Thank you!!! Awesome video. Would you be able to make a video on checking/changing oil in steering box of 434 international? I have a leak in mine and water gets in as well which disables me from turning left in winter haha. Benoit- Sault Ste Marie, ON
I have a 59 b275 it has one fill plug on the top for the hydraulics and only one drain plug on the middle on the bottom under the pto shaft. Are the diff and hydraulic fluid shared on the 275s?
The Problem: Hydraulic Steering hose cracked and fluid was spewing to right side of tractor. My tractor is 1969 International 444 Diesel. I'm not a mechanic nor experienced farmer, but have had great service from this tractor for 17 years. Apparently, I'm not kind to equipment because I have broken or worn out many pieces of equipment working timber and cattle on 40 acres in hot humid SE Texas. However, this tractor I acquired in the purchase of the farm, has yet to fail me. The Problem: Hydraulic Steering hose cracked and fluid was spewing to right side of tractor. I see there are two hoses. Since the tractor was still steering to the left without spewing fluid, 1) can I know that only the 1 hose leaking needs to be replaced? 2) I will begin my search for a replacement hose now that I have found you for referencing along the way. Thank you for all your videos. Your detailed explanations are very useful to the simple-minded, or ignorant such as myself. I will continue to view and enjoy your RU-vid channel. Darryl
I inherited a 444. Changed all the fluids, cleaned the screen, thanks for the video. Loader is still jumpy, slow to raise it up. Acts like the pump is starving for fluid. Any advice on things to check would be appreciated.
I did it! Got my hydraulics working again on my B414! The hose connecting the hydraulic filter was leaking - among other places - but was bad there. I removed the hydraulic filter and cleaned it, and then things went to h*ll in a handbasket. Couldn't find a replacement hose. Then after a month of being told "what I really needed" I finally got what you said, i.e. hydraulic suction hose, but couldn't get the clips to go back on. After swearing heard round the world, I put on some eyeglasses and turned on a bright light and could see someone had cut the screws short on the clamps, probably because they were rubbing their leg. So the screws were now really short, or the hose was too heavy, and the screw threads on the end were rolled from the cutting and despite a plethora of tools and clamps, they would not screw together. AHHHHHH!!!!! So I stepped outside the box, got some screw clamps, and done and done! Only took me two months.
