Tons of misinformation out there about the IH
recall. They never went to the dealer and said, bring
so and so's tractor in right now. They were
repaired on a fix as fail basis and as time
allowed. It took me a year to get
all ten of them done that we had out that
qualified. There were additional improvements
after that, including "improved crowned tapered
roller bearings on the differential", flat bower
roller bearings for inner axle and pinion bearing,
improved outer axle bearing, improved lubrication
to differential and bull pinion bearing tubes.
Yes, it hurt IH sales, but I get a kick out of the
"recall" bit like they do on cars etc now days.
Didn't happen. Some dealers took the option to
have co. personnel do the updating, therefore some
tents may have gone up. We did all our own. Gave
me a lot of experience. For the 2+2, they had
issues but nothing that the co. went to any real
length on. Had some early updates, front axle was
one along with changing electrical wiring to a
heavy fuses wires through the pivot area plus
rerouting hydraulic hoses etc. Far as other
makes and models, well , first John Deere 4010
diesel here in town, went out in the back shop
across town and had the leaking head gasket
replaced so customers wouldn't see it. Allis,
those 190xt's were a real gem. Case had ongoing
final drive improvements at the time they merged
with IH. Most customers turned down the offer
around here as they had to cover a lot of the
expense themself. I could go on and on but
enough.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
