I bought my first International Harvester. It is a 1970 IH 444 gas with a loader. I tried it out around the farmette a little bit, it did great. I checked the fluids as per the manual, it seemed the hydraulic fluid was almost empty. I filled it with A LOT of fluid. Got back on the tractor, started it up and it was making a new noise. Someone told me it is the throwout bearing. Does that make sense? Why would clutch make noise after filling the hydraulics? Coincidence or did I do something wrong?
As someone who is fairly mechanically inclined but learning how to fix tractors myself as I go, I appreciate the help.
