Hi I recently purchased an International 2350 series A diesel tractor .I am looking for manuals with no success .There seems to be very little information on the tractor .This is the industrial model what was the ag model ? It was also built in England .Anyone out there that can help thanks .
 
You'll find that to be the case with pretty much all the industrial models. First off they are relatively low production compared to the ag models. Second off they got orphaned in the early 1980's when IH sold the construction division to Dresser.

The normal agricultrial resources aren't going to be much help until you determine what ag tractor has the most in common with the one you have. The "equivalent" model as it were. Unfortunately I have never heard of a 2350 tractor, so I can't be of any more help than that.
 
I've found a few references to an IH 2350 tractor. One is for an oil filter on Case/IH part web site Application:
(2300) INTERNATIONAL TRACTOR
(2350) INTERNATIONAL SERIES-A TRACTOR
(276) INTERNATIONAL TRACTOR
(354) INTERNATIONAL TRACTOR
(364) INTERNATIONAL TRACTOR
(384) INTERNATIONAL TRACTOR
(434) MCCORMICK-INTERNATIONAL DIESEL TRACTOR
(444) INTERNATIONAL DIESEL TRACTOR (EUROPE)
(B414) INTERNATIONAL DIESEL TRACTOR
(B414) INTERNATIONAL GAS TRACTOR

That is a British built tractor and lots built so look those up for parts to see any for your application.
 
Hi, please post some pictures. Close ups of engine, transmission and rear end.
Does it have glow plug start engine? Transmission is it 4 speed plus rev and Hi/Lo on left side of main gear shift lever?

From the late 1950s until about mid 1990s IH Britain had two main tractor lines, the ones built in Bradford the B250,B275,B414 thru 384, these all used the BD series engines with glow plug start. There was a B614 tractor but I never saw one in North America. The other plant was Doncaster were the 54/74/84/94/95 series tractors with the direct start German Neuss engines. There was a 475 model that had a Perkins Diesel but never saw one in North America.

Maybe some of our UK members will correct or add to my brief summary of British IH tractors.

So your 2350 should belong to one of the above tractor families.

Thanks guys for replying and Jim this is a recent purchase thru an estate sale and how does the glow plugs work ... off the ignition ? I've been a heavy equipment operator and owner for 45 years so I'm not used to these small tractors . We have a -40 c wind chill for a few days , when it warms up a bit I will uncover it and take pictures .It has a 4 speed tranny with a separate forward and reverse lever as well as a low/high lever . Both levers are on the left side .
 
Hi Roy, If has 2 levers by the left fender, one lever does 1 to 4 in either a Z or H shift pattern, the other lever does Rev/Hi/Lo and the forward/reverse lever is on the left dash by the steering wheel then it is based on the 84/95/32XX/42XX series.
These tractors have the German Neuss direct start Diesel engines with no glow plugs but may have ether starting aid with a can of starting fluid mounted on rear left of engine or they may have a thermal starting aid that has a glow plug in the intake manifold with a fuel line running to it. The ether starting aid is controlled by a button on the left side of the dash about 10 inches above the transmission cover. If you have been a heavy equip operator I don't need to caution you about to much ether, engine lockup and broken rings. The thermal start aid is controlled by the start switch, pushing it inward and holding just before the start position. You should hear some sizzling from the glow plug and maybe even a puff of smoke, then you can continue to the start position. Depending on the injection pump model the STOP/RUN level or Knob may have a START position. For cold start always position throttle lever about 1/4 open.

All of the above only applies if the tractor is based on 84/95/32XX/42XX.
I am highly confused looking at caseih.com parts for 2350 series A tractor as most the listed parts are for the Bradford series tractors with BD-154 engine with indirect injection and a glow plug in each cylinder.

Pictures will resolve the issue.

Hi Jim . The hi/low and forward/reverse levers are directly attached to the left hand side of the transmission . I am ruling out the 54/74/84/94/95 series tractors because the disc brakes are not on the axles rather on separate side casings, the right side with the diff lock in the center of the disc .There is not an ether starting aid on it ether .I am not a fan of ether either .
 
Roy, You observation of the disk brakes on the side of the diff with the diff lock going thru the center indicates it is Bradford built tractor based on the B414,434,444 and 384 with the BD-154 Diesel engine. The glow plugs are activated by holding the start switch in until the indicator coil on the dash is red. There are newer replacement glow plugs available to make for easier cold weather starting. If you are going to start it in -20F weather, the only hope is heated garage or lower rad hose heater or tank heater. We had B414, 434 and later a 384 on our family farm from 1962 thru to mid 1990s. We had a loader on the 434 and the 384 so they were going every day to feed silage. We had weather to -35F and the tank heater would take an hour prior to starting.

I have an Operator's Manual for the B414 that I can share.

Hi Jim .After checking on the IH parts sites the 434 is the closest , not sure on the engine type .My 2350 has glow plugs but not operable .I'll be looking at updating them .Also there is a hole in the power assist cylinder .I'm trying to find the outer tube online before attempting to weld it .I tried to upload pictures but this site keeps shutting down on me . Thanks for all your help .

It does look to be from the same era as the 354 or 364 by the styling. One of the glaring differences is the shuttle transmission (the separate forward/reverse shift lever). Ag tractors didn't come with that, they had a hi/lo/reverse range transmission.

With the shuttle transmission you have all 8 gears available in both directions so you could go road speed in reverse if you wanted.
