Hey all, I just bought a 1974 IH 574 gas with 3100 hours. The previous owner went over with a fine tooth comb and replaced a few parts along with the hydraulic pump. I have been doing some research about this tractor. I mainly want to do some brush hog work on my 30 acres.
I have a few questions:
First is the hydraulic tell-lite turns on intermittently. Sometimes in reverse, other times in 3 low. It may stay on for a few minutes then shut off. I know the fluid levels are fine, but with the previous owner replacing the pump, I will changed the filter and replace with Case Hy-tran fluid. all controls work fine along with the PTO, but the light is still disturbing. Any other thoughts?
Second is the diff lock pedal is stuck in the down position. The tractor however is not running with the diff locked as the wheels spin at two different speeds. I have sprayed all connections with PB blaster and will wait a few days to fire up and hope the pedal disengages. I am worried as to why the tractor is not running with the diff locked even with the pedal depressed down.
Last is the PB warning light comes on for a few seconds when i engage the PTO (normal??). The light however does not turn on with the PB is engaged (weird?) the PB does work however.
