Hey guys. I now have my Dad's old '76 IH 574. He had the motor rebuilt a couple years ago, guess the old girl was getting tired. Ever since it seems to be a little more thirsty. I'm pretty sure they rebuilt the carb also. I do not have the book on the tractor and not sure how to or wether I should adjust it. Also for as long as I can remember the park brake has not worked. Am I correct in assuming that to fix that would be a pain and expensive to boot? Your thoughts guys?

Hi Travis, never worked on a 574 gas only Diesel models. Re parking brake, check for broken cable, usually breaks at stud at side of transmission case, properly adjusted parking brake and lastly if all the above doesn't fix it then probably someone has driven tractor with parking brake engaged and chewed up the parking brake band in the range transmission under the seat. My brother's IH mechanic says usually to do a proper job the brake drum and band both have to be replaced. This is many $$ in labour as fenders, fuel tank, 3pt housing have to be removed. Some mechanics do a cheaper job of replacing band only in thru the inspection plate under right foot rest.
Hope this helps
