jimb2 Thanks for your help on the 384 Hyd system. Pulled the suction line filter. It was plugged up. I don't think the guy has ever changed it. Cleaned it out and now the system is back to working. Thanks again.
 
Hi Billy, glad to have helped. Good of you to post back with the fix. Those models of UK designed tractors were very robust and easy to work on. They were made with the KISS principle.
We had B414, 434, and 384. Only reason we traded 384 was it was not large enough tractor to handle large round bales on frozen ground.

Jim what is the deal with the 384. When I tried to look up the filter in the cross match book. I could find every tractor but the 384. They must be strong tractors. Because I don't think this guy has ever serviced his. Hate to tell you what the oil looks like. At least I think it is oil.
 
Billy, the 384 was the last model that was made by IH UK of that tractor series. Most of the filters for 434 and 444 should be same as 384. There is also the problem if the tractor was a built and assembled in UK or frame and engine build in UK and assembled in USA using different electrical systems, power steering and some other parts common to USA built tractors. In Canada we only received UK built tractors but during the 1980s and 1990s when the $US was worth about $0.25 more than $CND enterprising dealers in northern US were coming to Canada and buying the tractors and trucking them south. So in USA you may have a UK built or USA assembled 384. If electrical system is Delco Remy then USA assembled, if Lucas electric then UK built.
I know the UK gasoline version had a BC-144 engine but some of USA assembled gasoline ones had a USA build C-XXX engine.

I don't know all the details, just bits and pieces.
