The hydraulic system on Farmall tractors was never intended to be consumer serviceable. Working on the hydraulic system requires standards of cleanliness and precision which are outside the normal conditions of many shops. My own grandfather, who was a certified Deisel mechanic, and used to routinely machine his own parts for the bulldozers, dragline, etc. in his earth moving business, would drive the tractors into his shop in town to work on the hydraulics, as he simply couldn't keep things clean enough in any of the barns on either farm. In any event, it is difficult to conceive of someone undertaking the job without either EXTENSIVE experience with these things, or at least TWO manuals. The IT IH-8 manual contains much of the information you need. But you should also read the sections of the Owner's Manual (you can get one from your Case dealer) that deal with the operation and lubrication of the Touch Control system. In any event, as the subject line implies, none of this is difficult, it just requires a little thought and effort. With a clean space, the correct tools and techniques, manuals, and a good working relationship with the man on the other side of the parts counter, many people without formal training have fixed agricultural hydraulic systems. Some may be quick to tell you you don't need some or all of these things; but each one GREATLY increases the chance of an inexperienced mechanic SUCCESSFULLY undertaking repair of such a complex and unusual system. Me? I've never had a major hydraulic problem, but if I did, I'd drive straight to our local Case dealer, who does a good job supporting these older tractors. Good luck. Keep us posted.

Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
