International 424 Diesel - Advice Needed

Posted by Chris Lash on May 25, 2007 at 11:02:34 from (64.136.26.227):

To anyone out there with experience on the International 424 Diesel (1965 model). I just got this jewel and havent gotten service or parts manuals yet so I'm needing some advice to get me started.

1st ?: I cant find a dipstick for the motor oil but I do see what looks like a bleader valve on the left side of the motor. If that is the valve to check the oil level, where do I add oil if it is low?

2nd ?: I was able to dismantle the left brake and get it somewhat operational (still can't brake stear but can stop given enough time) The right brake seems to be beyond adjustment and seriously pitted with rust inside. I don't get any sign of the right brake even engaging and I've used all the adjustment. Does anyone know what the specs are for the disk thinkness as well as the thickness of what I'll call the rotors (two steel plates held together by 3 springs with large ball bearings between them as spacers that allow them to expand when the brake is applied)?

3rd: I don't see any dipstick for the Hydrolic fluid. I seem to have 2 independent reservoirs , 1 behind the seat, and the transnsmission itself. The reservoir behind my seat seems to be full of fluid, but looking in the hole by the gearshift the fluid looks low but without a stick, I don't know how much to add.

Finally, I'm considering restoring this tractor but can't seem to find any real good pictures of a clean International 424 from all sides. If anyone out there has one that is restored to factory colors I'd love to see some pictures.

Thanks in advance
