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.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
