International B414

Here's the start of the old International we've had for a while it's been sitting in a hay barn for about 8 to 10 years and during the snow storm Texas had not too long ago the hay barn collapsed on top of it so we got the barn off of it and I decided I wanted to learn how to work on diesels so here we are
I got her cranked just had to put a new ignition switch in and put in a new oil pressure gauge line so here's how she sets now

Nice tractor!

Thanks it'll only get nicer

BTW, I moved the topic out of "Off Topic" to "Off Topic Projects"

@MightyRaze thank you!!

Nice tractor. Says on tractor data these were English made, curious how similar these are to a US equivalent. International made a good tractor in the day.

If its English...always make sure you have some of this on hand:

@Rustbucket Garage I didn't know it was English made that's kinda cool

I got to work it a little today pulling firewood there's some creepy critters in this wood

Nice to have a nice big diesel tractor on the property. No replacement for displacement.

At auction I bought a Bush Hog 3 point log splitter, though it came with it's own 5 HP B&S for the hydraulics. Just have not been able to buy a cheap and big enough tractor to use it. I bet yours could handle it :-D

If you decide to use the 3 point, this looks interesting.

I've seen those I got to play with one at a local tractor dealership it seems a lot less messy and aggravating LOL

Me and dad did a thing

also we modified a Amazon seat and got it on there

Now that you have the dash apart, maybe now would be time for a fuse on the amp meter since on some older vehicles they are a direct wire connection.

I bet the torch (aka liquid wrench) was a bit more handy then the WD-40.

I'll definitely put a fuse on there whenever we start working on the gauges I replaced oil pressure gauge and that's the only one we have working right now . And yes the torch came in really handy, believe it or not all that was just to get the steering box out we had to beat the shafts out of the steering box with the back end of an axe here's all the 2x4s we went through so we didn't booger up the threads when we were smacking it but other than that the steering box is fully rebuilt and the tractor is together and you can steer it with one hand

Me and Dad also made a janky gen Pole

Been meaning to make a pole myself to drag small logs and more scrap LTs, but, I need brakes first :-D

Did you go electrical or mechanical on the oil gauge?

@JB_4x4 went with a mechanical oil gauge and it's reading right at 30 PSI

That is pretty good in any normal engine. A good indication of the internal wear of parts that you can not see.
