Well long story short I was laid off of work ended up at an auction and bought a 1963 IH 504 gas rig to flip and sell. I'm mechanically inclined and know my way around a shop...but i have no experience with tractors. ill post up pics soon. I drove it home from the auction by the time I got to my driveway the power steering required about ten turns to move the slightest. brakes leak at the round drum, Rear axles leak where it has the 4 bolt cap and one fender is rusted out. currently I have completely removed all wiring, removed all the body panels, degreased it and am working on removing the old paint and 40 year old grease for a good prime and paint job. I have also put a new tube in one of the rear tires.
Questions:
- has anybody used fenders from another to use on one of these? they seem much more expensive than the farmall fenders.
- as far as power steering goes, I think the fluid leaking from the axle and PTO seal have caused the problem, again I am naive to tractors. would love some insight.
- also could use a new steering wheel and defiantly a new seat. I am just looking for some recommendations from some guys who know the industry. Thanks in advance.
