Well i bought a IH 986 the other day. There were no leaks around it what soever. We have drove it up and down the road and nothing. So yesterday I change the oil and filters. Take it for about a 3 mile run down the road. Go over a big hill climb back up to check the clutch. Get back to barn and all of a sudden oil coming from under tractor. Pretty good puddle. Guessing the rear main seal. Thats my luck LOL. Was wanting to know how hard is it to fix. Do I have to break it in half. I have never had a IH so I don't know much about them. Also The remotes on it. I tried to connect my roll baler to it yesterday and found out I can't because the remotes are to big for the hose ends. Was wondering do I need to change the implement connections or is there an adaptor? Like I said not had IH before. All of your help is appreciated. Tim

If it's the rear seal, it will have to be split, but that's not too tough of a job. Working on the steering motor isn't too tough either. IH used to have a change over kit for the hyd couplers so you can plug 'pioneer' type fittings into them but I don't know if they are available anymore. They work pretty well, you just push the hoses in to plug them in and give them a good jerk to get them back out. Whether or not you want to convert just depends on how often you plug hoses into it.

If you decide to change the ends on your hoses give me a shout.

I have several of them left over from when I switched back to pioneer.

I got around 50 IH ends here.

Yes there are adapters you can just plug in.

On that oil leak.

Look up higher and make sure its not coming from the steering motor.
