Hey guys. I just purchased an international 1466 to restore. I have always wanted one on the
larger IH tractors and this one runs great but is having some trouble pulling itself. I have already
ordered all the manuals but wanted to ask some of the experts. From what i can see the clutch
looks to be in great condition. What is happening is when it starts to pull even a small hill and
sometimes even on level ground it will stop pulling. The clutch is not slipping or jerking. If you rev
up the engine it will pull a little better. I have already overfilled the hydraulic oil like a lot of the
forums said to try. It quits pulling mostly in the higher gears even on the low side but it will still
hold back going down a hill as well. Wasnt sure if maybe the ta was going out or if the mcv valve
and pump need rebuilt or replaced. I have some guages coming to check the pressures with also.
The ta seems to work when it is on level ground. I can feel it going in and out but i know if it is
weak it may be some of my problem too. Thanks for any help. Just trying to get an idea of the
main problem before i tear it down and start searching for worn parts. Everything else seems to
be in good shape. Thanks again. I appreciate any help
