heck it's a 20year old IH developed kit! mine still was stamped/molded with the IH logo on it. the instructions included were dated 6-83!
wish we knew about this years ago!
PN for the kit:1 272 964 c94.
"one kit is used per coupler assembly 544 786 r95"
"it is recommended that hydraulic coupler retrofit finishing kit 1 282 269 c91 be utilized with [this retrofit kit] to provide a drain system and reduce dirt build up on the coupler assemblies and rear of tractor... [the finishing kit] provides sufficient drain hardware and identification decals to finish one tractor."
i did not purchase the finishing kit, didn't know about that until i got the thing home and was installing it. but 96 dollars was already too much for me to handle...frankly without the drain kit, it's basically no more messy than before, only with some slick coupling pioneer fittings and no levers that never open the adaptors/couplers properly. i hooked up the pressurized one way line of our discbine (someone forgot to put the safety stops on!) and it didn't gripe about it at all..smooth as butter, even the levers put up a fuss over that type of situation (with adaptors anyway...we only ever had one cylinder with the ih fittings anyhow!).

this is definitely a must have modification. it's been out for 20 years surprised no one ever mentions it. now if you have all 66 and 86 series tractors, this mod wouldn't be a must have, but for the typical farmer it certainly is!

my dad was grumbling something about how good the originals were and now how do we use the ih fitted cylinder...i think he's remembering the tractor as it was 31 years ago! something about no one liking pioneer fittings either...probably the original non-pressure coupling versions, since they are standard issue these days. things have certainly changed even in my lifetime..
wonder what the ih style cores will be worth now ;)
