But i've seen a little discussion on them in your older arcives . Anyone know anybody that owns one or any information about them would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jeff [Reply]   [No Email]

Maby it won't matter but if I can get Roberts to check some measurements it may work. [Reply]  [No Email]

If it"s a early 284 it has a 4cyl gas engine, manuals can be found (I just did) Roberts tractor parts in Ohio has one they are parting out now ($$$) [Reply]  [No Email]

No C-IH dealer has ever heard of a 434, either. It's domestic equal is the B-414. The tin, however, will not be available from anywhere but the country it was intended for, if available at all.

The 272 has the older style graphics, make sense that later version was "284" wit the newer graphics to match the current tractors of the time. [Reply]  [No Email]

I believe that same engine saw other applications as well. Mini-excavator, etc. As near as I can tell, the tractor is a rare find. I would search for an owners manual, parts manual, etc. if I were you. Do CaseIH dealers have any listings? I think routine parts like filters would be easy to find. [Reply]  [No Email]

When I talk to dealers they tell me it doesn't exist. So its grey market here in the us. Its got a broken rockshaft. So that meens no three point hitch. nice little tractor though. Worse comes to worse I might look at getting one milled. Hate to part out the tractor because of that. But spending that much more on it , without anything available . Makes it a tough decision [Reply]  [No Email]

Depending on where its broke maybe it could be welded, or you could have a machine shop take a look at it to see if they can make one. The guy at the machine shop here loves a challenge!

I DO HAVE BOTH PIECES BUT ITS BROKEN RIGHT AT THE ORING SLOT.I don"t know if a weld would hold up to the twisting but it may be worth a try.I"m thinking I might have to see about getting one made. I will have to block off the shaft holes and fill it up with hydrolic oil and make sure the rest of the tractor is ok first, before spending the extra money. with two sets of splines and one in the middle i"m sure it won"t be cheep.

There are no numbers on the shaft. not even a casting number. and without a parts manuel, or a dealer that can find the tractor. There is no way to cross anything over.My only real hope is to find someone that has a tractor manuel or a source for one. [Reply]  [No Email]
