If you can post pics, that would help a lot to figure out what is going on. I'd highly recommend buying an operator's manual. They are available on places like ebay, binder books, and your C-IH dealer. it will help immensely. as for shifting, that range transmission is not the best design. it was fixed with the 56 series. adjustment can help, replacing worn parts can help. make sure you don't shift that range trans. unless you are at a COMPLETE stop. you can get away with shifting the speed trans. on the fly alittle. the lever on the left of the steering wheel is the TA (torque amplifier). Basically a hydraulic 2-speed, meant to be shifted on the go. they are pretty tough as long as they are adjusted properly. the main thing with that is make sure you shift quick, forward or back. don't let it hang out between hi and low.
hydraulics: there are 4 levers to the right of the seat. the rear 2, with the aluminum quadrant, are for the 3pt or fast hitch. the inside one controls the position (raise/lower), and the outside one is draft control. for using your loader and/or backhoe, the position control lever needs to be rearward of the notch in the aluminum quadrant (pushing it forward will slow the operation of the hydraulics).
the two levers forward of that control the remote hydraulics. the inside one handles the rear couplers and, if equipped, the front left side. the outside lever controls the front right side.
how are your loader and backhoe plumbed? it sounds like your backhoe and tilt must both be connected to the left and rear, controlled by the same control valve. that means your backhoe control valves must be closed-center, if the loader works properly. not the best- these tractors have open-center hydraulics. it's fine to connect a bank of open-center valves, then just bungee one of the tractor's levers. but you should only be using one at a time of either the rear or front left hydraulic ports.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
