58 internaitonal 350?

Carey Ogier · Feb 21, 2009

I am going to look at a 58 international 350 in the next few days, it has a loader, and rear blade, 42 hp, T/A. I need advice on what to look for, when I am checking it out, and also what are some problems with this tractor, so I can be on the look out. I'm sure it has a pto, is the pto going to be a 540?

Steering box and T/A plus she may have been used to much when it was new.. The biggest problem is the steering box as they can break easy with a loader on it . The rest is fixable.

Hi Carey: Hydraulic pump new from dealers I checked last year was about $1500(fifteen hundred)and a check at Worthington tractor salvage (12 yards networked) said they only get a couple a year to sell. That pump was only used on 300/350 and after 50 years half those produced were junked out... Pump can't be rebuilt. After thinking about getting parts, I just happened to see one with a bad engine for $500 so I bought the whole tractor for spare pump plus other parts to keep my 2 350's going..hopefully. If it has fasthitch, it should lift both rear wheels off ground at just above idle for a rough test of hyd pressure. Other wise I like that "50" series. Last of the 4 cylinders which I grew up on 50 years ago. Hope this helps some. ag

What do I look for in a faulty T/A?

Carey: I am NOT an expert on T/A but I'll mention a few things. In direct (foward TA lever) try 5th gear and apply both brakes to load engine down then quickly pull ta lever back. It should shift down and hold in lower gear ratio. 2ed item I noticed is drive in 4th half throttle with ta back and then "start" slowing down. If it seems like it pops out of gear and Whines, it's going bad. Another item I noticed is with clutch in and stopped, pull ta back, then start tractor foward in say 5th and before it gets to full speed, put ta full foward fairly quick... it should go up in gear ratio and load engine without feeling like it went to netural... Best to ask this as a new question and get expert answers... good luck with the 350. By the way, a narrow front steering is subject to wear with lots of loader use. ag
