chadd: First let me say I never believed your heat problem was any one specific item, but rather a combination of factors, most of them right in the tractor design. Europeans used this design in all makes, operator sitting low straddled the transmission and when the transmission became the hydraulic rerervoir it only made the problem worse. Bear in mind Europeans were not subject to the summer time heat we get across much of North America.

When IH started importing these tractors it was a cost factor, they supposedly were hp for a fraction of the cost of North American built tractors. I was buying new tractors when the 74-84 series came along. 574 and 584 were far less money than a comparable hp Farmall.

The design items you have against 74 and 84 series tractors especially your gasser. You have a 50 hp gas engine blowing all it's heat back, then you have that horizontal exhaust, an absolute nono with that much gas hp. The operator's platform is straddle the transmission and hydraulic reservoir. Then the platform is closed right off at the back by the fuel tank. There is hydraulic plumbing under that right control panell. Add to this a cab, and the whole design makes these a hot tractor, from an operator point of view. Even when everything is working perfect these are not a great enviornment. They funnel most the entire tractor heat right into the cab, and heat rises.
