Here is some pictures of my 484, my first tractor. I paid $1000 for it and it had a engine knock. I got it apart and found a spun bearing and a chewed up crank shaft. A bracket on the pickup tube for the oil pump was broke and the tube was flopping around and I think it was sucking air and low oil pressure caused the damage. I rebuilt the engine in 07 and painted it last summer with a broken collar bone. It took 3 times as long but I got it done before fall. I still need to get a new seat and rear tires.
It blows through 2 feet of snow like its not even there.
That is one beautiful machine. I sure with that was sitting on my farm.
Nice job, A lot of hard work in a project like that. The hard part is deciding where to draw the line. The further you tear into it the more you want to re-do.
That is a handy size of tractor!
I restored a 8ft transport disk to go along with the 484. I had to have something nice looking to pull around with it. The sad thing is the cost to restore the disk was about 2/3 of what it cost to restore the tractor. Two wheel bearings were almsot $200. The disk cost a fortune to restore.
HI I also have a 484 with cab. Does your hand brake work? Apparently they are a PITA to fix. I will try and post some photos when I am allowed to post.
I guess in europe the 484 was a big seller. Here they are pretty rare, the 384 is even more rare. No my hand brake doesnt work, I wish it did. Thats another thing I need to work on.
All we did was fit a mechanical lock to the brake pedals as doing the hand brake band resulted in more issues with the backends and hydraulics on most of the 3-4 cyl internationals.Well nearly as many issues as putting in the wrong oil in the back end. Stock
yes, you need double jointed arms to get in there to pull out the split pins that hold the band in place. Once you've repaired them make sure there's a working warning light on the dash to warn the operator when its on - or wire it up to the horn :tong
man i'm envious! we have a 485 that cleans the barns, sure wish it looked like that! wanna trade?
Could you provide details of perhaps a photo of the lock for the brake pedal. Thanks.
Basically all we used to do was get two pieces of flat weld one piece to to the cab frame if front of the pedals cut a notch/bend the second one so that fits over the pedal . Press the pedal and clamp the two pieces together with a grips and drill a hole thru both pieces, insert a bolt with a washer and lock nut.Leave a little play on the pedals to allow for easy of release of lock
Ok Thanks for that.
Nice job! I just got a 504 that I need to clean-up and do some restoration to.
