IH Handbrake 574, 84, 85 etc Series

I had posted this on another forum but because I've joined here thought I would transfer it here too. Had a go at doing our 574 handbrake through the side. Read up what I could find on the net, so thought I would do some notes for next time and maybe help someone else. Quite a bit of what I...

Not done by me Andy. Another poster on the forum from a few years ago. Many years ago I did have a brief go at one through the side but didn't pursue it as I realised it wasn't worth the bother for all the time the hand brake would last again!!

Right! Yes, they don’t last long if you forget.

Cab roof lining re trimmed, it was in such a bad way I’ve done well to revive it, so wet, mold and green with algae, had to jig prop to get it back into shape, sealed it when dry to make it rigged again, gone for a grey as bit better on the eye, adhesive made me Kin’s wince a bit! .View attachment 1032500View attachment 1032501View attachment 1032505View attachment 1032506

Don’t forget the hydraulic oil is separate on these. I use 46 hydraulic oil in my 955. Can’t remember what it holds 35litres probably.
15/40 is right for the engine say 13-15 litres
Transmission is hytran. I think I put 9 gallons of 80/90 in the 955 but it is not pressure lubed like the 56 series.
If you’re changing the coolant (50% antifreeze/water mix) you might want to change the coolant conditioning filter if it has one.
4wd axle oils will be 85/140 gear oil.
Hope the weather is good for you.

Struggling to remember, but how many separate housings (oil wise) are there in the 55/56 series tractors?

agrimax said:

Engine oil...12.5l.
Front axle...6l of 80w90.(if 4wd of course).
Front hubs...1l in each of 80w90.
Rear reduction hubs...7l each ..80w90.
Hydraulic system...46l of UTTO (or Hytran if you wish).
Transmission...30l of UTTO or Hytran.
Isn't the steering separate too...? 32 hyd oil for it I think.
And the brake reservoir uses UTTO or HT. as well.
