Hi everyone, I m new here to the forum.
A friend of mine is selling an early 80 s ih 234 diesel tractor with hydrostatic. It s a small compact type. Three cylinder about 15 hp, 4x4, woods-dual 145 loader, woods-dual finishing mower, and and snowblower are included.
He wants $750 for all that and new tires too. The problem is the clutch disc splines stripped out... odd. He replaced the clutch and about 15 hrs later the tractor would not move again! He didn t tear into it again to see what had broke. It s odd enough that the clutch disc splines stripped out the first time. I wonder if there s flex going on at the bell housing causing stress and misalignment at the input shaft clutch area. The bell housing does have a crack by the mounting flange. What I m really worried about if if the hydrostatic drive has gone bad this time. Are there and parts available for the hydro drive?? I m just not sure if I should buy this or not if parts aren t available.. he also has a 50 s allis charmers ca with a loader for $600 if the ih doesn t work out. I m just looking for something to haul firewood out of the woods, move a little bit of dirt around, and have as a back up snow plow/clean up. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
