I sure don't dismiss your findings and I'm glad you shared this information with me. But I must say I'm very surprised. I have been told by several sources that these were good engines and the 364 tractor I am picking up this weekend is a good tractor. I have read one post on here where a BD144 or BD154 (I can't remember which) has over 5000hrs and still runs strong and uses almost no oil. I hope we get similar service from ours. I am buying a IH 364 from a friend. I used to run the tractor mowing hay for him a few years ago. It ran STRONG. Always had great oil pressure and ran cool no matter how hot it was or how hard you ran it. But, as I am finding out, they are not the easiest to start. Mine needed glow plugs to start the 1st time each day then it was fine the rest of the day. The most annoying thing I found on this particular tractor was the operation of the glow plugs. They were a sort of mystery. We put new plugs in the tractor but sometimes they didn't work. I could remove/clean the wires between each plug and they would work for a month or so. Then, suddenly, one day they wouldn't work again. I assumed it was a connection problem between the wires running to each plug so I would use sandpaper to clean them even though they never looked dirty. This seemed to get them going again. But, I have read on this board that the glow plug switch is the problem. He told me that he replace the factory switch with a floor-mounted style car starter switch and his have been perfect ever since. Have you had similar problems with your glow plugs? Also, are your hydraulics strong on your tractor? We replaced both the steering and lift pump on the 364 I am buying about 5 years ago. I have read the hydraulics on these tractors are a weak point. I never thought they were from running the 364, just read it on this board. But I must admit, I never lifted anything but a IH 9' sickle mower with the 364 so I guess I never loaded it real hard. Any comments are appreciated.

Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
