transmission fluid change

Byron F. Stone · Nov 25, 2009

I need a little help working on my International 404.I was going to check the transmisson fluid level & discovered I had no inspection plug...hole was filled with dried dirt..what size plug do I need & i would assume I need to drain the the fluid & replace with about 7 gallons per my owners manual.I have never done this before so any hints would be welcome.The plug appears to be about 1/2"...is it a pipe thread or something else?Will the fluid sold at Tractor supply be OK?
The tractor is new to me .....I have stopped the oil leaks & am carefully looking at everything before I do anything with the tractor other than start it occasionally...oviously I am not a mechanic & learning OJT.I do not not know the history of the machine,but it appears not much maintanace has been done in the past & if the hour meter is correct it has almost 1000 hours.

I'm not familiar with the 404, but most of IH's other drain/ check plugs take either a 3/8 or 1/2 socket extension to remove. Dig the dirt out of the recess in the plug & the socket should fit right in.

Brownie.....I understand what you are saying,but in this case the part that serves as a plug is missing completely...the international # is 9410358.....I need this part or an equivalent.

I might be wrong but I think the whole is a standard pipe thread so you might be able to get something suitable at the hardware store.

No idea on the size though.
