Hi All,
I have an IH Hydro 84 s/n: 1-H84-B600212B008286.
Like many Hydro 84s the hydrostatic transmission has gone bad, it will hardly move itself, less do any work.
I have contacted the local Case dealer and the replacement/rebuild/etc is VERY expensive. So expensive it's probably about the value of the tractor.
I have found a rebuilt replacement transmission, with a warranty, for $5,544.00.
How difficult is it to do a swap? I'm mechanically inclined and have done car, pickup, motorhome, engine/tranny swaps/upgrades, but never a tractor. Is there anything unusual or any hidden "surprises" I need to know about, or is it pretty much a remove & install and then hook up the linkage?
I believe I have most of the tools and related items (cherry picker, another tractor for hoisting, etc...) I think I would need.
The tractor has a 2250 loader attached, which I think would probably have to be removed, maybe a big job, but it can of course be done.
I sure would also appreciate any info anyone can give me about my tractor from the s/n.
I'm a newbie and this is my first post to this site. I also have a new JD, but I'm very attached to the Hydro84 and sure don't want to put it out to pasture.
Thanks in advance for any help and/or info you can pass on.

Out of the yard, over the cows and bale piles, through the dozer piles, poplars, and brush, out onto the ditch grade road, past the noisy 6.2 diesel engine pulling my well traveled Suburban along. Well it sure didn't take me long to figure out what it was because I alrea
