Broken Down IH 560 Farmall: WILL IT RUN????

[@chipps1066]

Great diagnosing of the start problem and so nice to see a young man show so much respect to the gentleman.I know you will get her running like new.

[@rosstheoliverman]

I’m sure if he brings it over here I’ll be able to get it going for him. Thanks for watching!!!!

[@frankwurth5375]

The extra wire on the coil should be the by pass /relay feed from the starter solenoid. It by passes the reister to give the full 12 volts to the coil during starting. That starter bendix will chew up the ring gear if it hasn't already. That engine hasn't had any real maintenaince for so long, it needs the valve clearance checked. Run a compression test and see just how good the valves and rings are.

[@rosstheoliverman]

That’s why I wanted him to bring it here. I want to check all the valves and just give it everything that it needs, a very thorough tuneup. Yeah I thought of that after the fact, it’s like the old Ford trucks they had a bypass wire too to get full voltage while cranking

Cool tractor. Interestingly it was almost the end of IH. It had huge rear ended problems and it was the first major tractor recalls in history. Rumors are it cost around 19 million to fix it all. But they fixed it and in the long run it made for some loyal customers.

[@rosstheoliverman]

There were a lot of them out there even with the problem, so they must’ve fixed it. Thanks for watching!!!

[@demontrain4438]

I am not an IH person have never worked pn them or drove them. What was wrong with the rear end it would be interesting to hear

[@duanecreativemachine]

I guess it was a copy of I think the 400 rear and it wouldn’t take at added HP and not all failed but when the did it was catastrophic. They replaced most of the rear parts under recall regardless of if it broke or not.

[@SamMaass-s5h]

We had a 63. The rear end was updated. Never had a bit of trouble with the whole tractor. It was easy on the diesel fuel and never took any oil or coolant. As far as them costing 19 million, I say Bullshit.

there's gotta be a basic equation between coil, point gap, condensor, voltage, and plugs, so we could measure the components and verify the combination.

[@rosstheoliverman]

Yeah, that poor thing needs a ton of work but it must still be running because he never brought it yet.

[@Ham68229]

He needs to change out that bendix drive on that starter. Best thing to do is have the starter rebuilt. You're right, those resistors do go bad over time. Should only be 2 wires going to the coil. Learned a long time ago, when having issues like this, just go through the entire ignition system, clean the carb. readjust valves and double check that timing. These old tractors are so simple to work on. Great video, cheers :)

[@rosstheoliverman]

Thanks!! Yes, it needs a very thorough tuneup and I think it’ll be good to go.

[@rtundlt1]

Champion plugs used to be a good plug, but for many years now I've had no luck with them lasting in my tractor engines. I seem to have the best luck anymore with good ol' AC plugs. They work well in both my Allis B and John Deere 40.

[@rosstheoliverman]

Yeah they seem to have went down in quality

[@danjosephson6910]

A guy told me he learned in mechanics school when he was 18-19 years old. 15 is too young, 36 is too old, but 24 is just right. That was the firing order for a six cylinder. (Now 36 is way too young for me.)

[@rosstheoliverman]

🤣🤣🤣 that’s the exact saying that I learned as well! I tried explaining that to someone the other day and they didn’t get it the first time 🤣

[@steveschumacher5470]

one of the extra wires on the coil is from the I terminal on the starter solenoid which feeds full 12 volts to the coil while cranking to make up for voltage drop caused by the starter motor. I would also be very annoyed by that starter, good luck

[@rosstheoliverman]

I was wondering if that was the case. Thanks Steve! The old Ford trucks did the same thing. I think they have it wired up totally wrong because it looks like it’s already torched the new points.

[@arvbergstedt3303]

Sounds right. Older delco starter solenoids had a R terminal that gave full battery voltage to coil bypassing resister from ignition switch. Points last much longer when charging voltage about 14.3 volts is cut down by resister to ?? Forget probably about 10 volts.

[@karlfischer1011]

Those 6 cyl IH are simple yet have a few complicated quirks. I grew up with a 656. The heat riser spring and flap on the manifold are critical. Full fuel flow thru a sediment bowl only is best (although a fuel pump with better filters is a great add on option ). Distributor slop affects running smoothly. Bent push rods can happen when a valve sticks from bad fuel. The 656 had A 6v coil with 12v starter bypass circuit. Also the 656 has an electric solenoid instead of a main jet screw--lots of problems between farm corroded wires and an occasional poorly built solenoid. These are usually sleeved engines, except the c301 in 806 or many of the combine engines.

[@karlfischer1011]

Interesting that ih has cylinder numbers on the cap. A few distributors interchange but aren't right by application, who knows what's been swapped. There are generally straight or curved points that will fit,, i think the points plate is the determining factor there.. The timing advance mechanism can also rust stiff. We ended up replacing the manifold assembly on the 656 a few years ago and the phantom issues went away! IH wiring can get over complicated with only the lights being fused, and extra wiring like you're finding. kinda like an exercise of how complex can we get.

[@rosstheoliverman]

It’s amazing how much stuff gets altered over the years by people. The biggest problem with this tractor was being screwed up where it wouldn’t run, I never got to hear what it ran like before to know what the original problem was he was having. If I understood him right the way I left it it was running much better than it has in years and that’s not saying a whole lot.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

That coil had me looking for my multimeter. I think that is a winner for the most wires going to a single post on a coil. I'll get the award printed up and sent your way.

[@rosstheoliverman]

You know the old saying for wiring up stuff: “when in doubt just hook it to the coil.” I bet the guy who wired this up has at least one junction box in his house that has 50 wires going into it.

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

I'm thinking that green wire goes into the harness, back where it can't be seen, splices into a red wire, goes back into the harness and goes right back to the coil.

[@rosstheoliverman]

@@ThatOliverGuyChris that’s true but if it’s like on a grain truck the red wire is three feet long, circles up to the dash and then heads to the coil, just for fun.

Thanks Richard! They had three wires hooked up and that’s not right. I got a book coming hopefully I can sort it all out. Somebody has rewired a bunch of this and it’s kind of a mess.

[@andypreston1]

Hi Ross don't no if i can help or make this more complicated lol I see your working with a 12v coil with an external balst resistor, the coil has 2 lives to feed it 1 being a 12v feed from your starter so the coil only sees 12v at crank and the second live is from resistor the main 12v live comes from the key to feed the resistor to only give out 7v( if I remember correctly) to the coil so it don't melt the points with them being giving 12v constant . The coils you personally use has this built in to them so only need the 1 feed from the key . Hope this makes sense to you and helps but am inclined to go with you on the mechanic or carb issues as its was running and I think it be far worse running or struggle to start if it was ignition (no back firing etc). Oh plus great videos fella keep them coming 👍

[@rosstheoliverman]

Thanks Andy! Yeah, I figured that out later on editing the video. The old Ford trucks were the same way they had a hot wire direct to 12 V that was only on during cranking. This poor tractor though needs a lot of wiring sorted out somebody’s been in there hacking and it’s all messed up. Thanks for watching!!!

When he said he had over hauled it himself I thought well that explains alot right there. Most of the young mechanics have not been trained to diagnose a problem just to plug in the test equipment and replace what it tells them to. That is not their fault it is the lack of basic training for how things work and why. I have heard the statement, you don't know what you don't know. The dealer mechanics didn't have the basic diagnostic training to figure out that all of the basic requirements for it to run correctly were not working properly. I have done some of my own work but I know what I don't know so it goes to the shop where my mechanic can diagnose and fix it correctly. He knows I am not going to second guess what he does because he fixes what is wrong and it is correct. Good mechanics are worth the money but part changers are not.

@@rosstheoliverman It was, just curious if it was a 50, 52, or 5488......................at first I thought it might be a 34 or 3688, but it has the heavy rear cast centers so doubt its either of those. I always ask, looking for a 3488 Hydro.

@@tpfromcentralpa1692 I’ll try to remember to ask him when he comes over.

[@bustersmith5569]

The advance doesnt seem to do anything ??

[@rosstheoliverman]

It’s definitely a sick horse. I hope he brings it over so we can make it better.

[@richardschaffling9882]

That tractor looks like it been abused with the oil all over and did you he bring it over and did you get the miss out

[@rosstheoliverman]

No, he never did bring it. I figure it must still be plugging away even though it runs terrible.

[@tcmits3699]

Man that poor farmer, those parts guys are worse than useless. Your better off starting from scratch, some so called mechanics don't even know how to set #1 cylinder on the dist., That is one of the simplest engine to work on. Install Pertronix ignition, no more worries. At least it seems to be in good hands now. Good luck

[@rosstheoliverman]

Thanks!

[@johnclarke6647]

You always start repairing at the point the lat person was working on it. Usually you have to repairwatthey screwed up before you can fix the real problem.

[@rosstheoliverman]

Yup. That is definitely the case on this one

[@phillipdickinson8557]

Your all right you no your stuff and if you don't you go back to the specs.good man no your wrenching.

Thanks Phillip!

Nope not seen 3 wires on coil just one coming in and the other going out .

Somebody definitely had a lot going on on here 🤣

I find it interesting your most viewed video is a Farmall and not an Oliver.

It is strange 🤣

Modern dealership "mechanic" needs a laptop to "fix" things.

[@rosstheoliverman]

So true. If the computer doesn’t tell you what’s wrong some people don’t know what to do.

[@BiigCheeze]

I'm surprised you don't know how to time the engine with a test light. engine off, bring the engine to the timing mark, doesn't batter if it is on number 1 or 6. put a test light across the non ground side of the battery, this works with both positive ground or negative ground, the test light will go out when the body is rotated in the direction of rotor rotation. When it goes out rotate the distributor in the opposite direction until the test light comes on and lock it down. perfect timing every time, even before ever starting the engine. Sadly this only works with points type distributors.

[@rosstheoliverman]

The test light won’t tell you if you’re on the compression stroke without timing marks. It didn’t appear there were any left on his tractor. He tried to do that before I got there.

[@BiigCheeze]

@@rosstheoliverman really doesn't matter if number 1 is on compression or exhaust, on a 6 cylinder, you can time it on either number 1 or number 6. try it some time put your timing light on number 1, then try it again on number 6, you will find they will match

[@BiigCheeze]

@@rosstheoliverman on IH, most of the tractors have the timing mark on the flywheel, under a removable cover
