IH 986 Work Before Spring

[@mossylawrence283]

That 1456 is a nice looking tractor

[@wesleytheiss5264]

I’m glad you’re doing these videos. I have 2 986’s good tractors

[@IHdelight]

The 9's are my favorite. It's rare that they come in for any serious work. And when they do it's just for service work or somwthing minor.

[@elsydro8064]

Love this Chanel, just found it, really good learning opportunity for me. I just bought a case 885 and am so excited

[@mikescaffo4850]

Dude I have watched you fix some of these tractors you are a great mechanic and have a lot of knowledge

[@ronzezulka6646]

This is a pretty sweet IH.

[@wesleycallison5593]

Man, there's alot of cornbinders around there.

@IHdelight : Nice, simplistic basic annual maintenance video. Enjoyed seeing the info when you took hydraulic system pressure readings at various key system points. Very good info to know, for preventative upkeep! It's also very wise to document such pressure readings, for any potential future issues or failures. As a mechanic, "covering thy behind" is always a very wise move. What's with the date that you put on the fuel filter @30:00 into the video? Is this video really from 3/14/1995? That's pretty wild, since according to YT, you just uploaded this video yesterday, on 3/15/2024. I'm viewing it for the 1st time on 3/16/2024... over 29 years later. 😲 Not that it really matters, as the info is still all the same. Again, great video. You earned another channel subscriber. 💪😎

[@IHdelight]

Thankyou! yeah I may have been day dreaming when I wrote the filter date as it was supposed to be 3-14-24

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

I see you drive a Pontiac Vibe! We are on our second one since the first one got totaled parked in the driveway. It's nice to have a normal service for once! Thanks!

[@IHdelight]

They kick ass.

I wish there was someone as competent as you that did videos on David Brown 990's , i inherited one and need to fix some things but not sure how. Most of all the p.t.o. clutch is stuck. To get the p.t.o to run you have to make sure the tractor is fully warm, then shut it off and restart it with the p.t.o engaged which is horrible for the starter im sure...

[@IHdelight]

I think most succesful david brown owners are in good standings with the Lord.

[@ihguy2113]

i miss my 5088 was not a cheap tractor but i miss it

I drain the old oil out of the oil cooler when I change oil.

Glad that you don’t kick the dog nor the cat.

Only if they bite

[@curtarseneau]

Didn't look like Viscosity Oils (Hytran) in the hydraulic system to me? Looked like Wesson Oil?

[@IHdelight]

Something greeeen

[@turbodiesel4709]

@@IHdelight What do you mean by green? Are you just referring to a John Deere brand of fluid, like HyGard? If so, that stuff is a quality premium fluid, just like the CaseIH Hy-Tran Ultra. Both are excellent choices & are totally compatible. Or, do you mean some "environmentally friendly" severely overpriced bio fluid crap? I ask, because I used to maintain an equipment fleet that used that regularly used that environmentally friendly fluid crap, and we learned the hard way that it's VERY destructive to ANY machine's hydraulic system. It also has only about 50% of the service life of regular/conventional Trans/Hyd fluids. It's terrible stuff! I eventually convinced my boss to allow me to switch back to conventional hydraulic fluids, on 95% of our equipment. That environmental crap was quickly destroying every single high-dollar hyd pump & hyd drive motor on literally every machine we had. Wish I were kidding, but I'm not. It was responsible for needlessly costing the business 10's of thousands of dollars in premature failures, not to mention the costly downtime while they were down for major repairs. Stuff smelled like burnt popcorn, and would leave a terrible hard crust-like substance around seals and any external leakage/weepages. It was so hard that you often had to chisel or grind the crap off during hydraulic component repairs. Oh, and it cost nearly triple the cost of conventional trans/hyd fluid, which in itself, was absolutely insane.

[@alabamamotionpictureproduc6626]

I remember my hytran having more of a red hue to it. But maybe it's a distortion in the camera.

[@Joey966]

1995? Did you find "THE WAY BACK MACHINE?" That rooster looked like a 2023 model.

[@IHdelight]

Haha

[@ronzezulka6646]

Doesn't filter change regularity play a huge role?

[@IHdelight]

absolutely

[@edtoebes]

You recommend what coolant in the engine? My 1086 is green with a coolant filter. I have DCA additive here with test strips. On a different subject - waiting to see you do brakes on an 86. Mine suck and need to be done this coming fall

[@turbodiesel4709]

@edtoebes : Best to use the tried & true standard green ethylene glycol. Mix it 50/50 with DISTILLED water. Few people bother with distilled water, but keeping the minerals & unwanted chemicals out of the water increases the longevity & creates less internal cooling system blockages & corrosion. Periodically testing the coolant using litmus test strips and keeping up with adding the proper amount of SCA (Supplemental Coolant Additives) is a very good idea. Doing so can save a lot of money both in regular maintenance costs and from future costly engine repair costs, due to "worn-out" coolant.

[@edtoebes]

@@turbodiesel4709 I only mix mine with distilled water. Been doing that forever. My water is too hard.

[@IHdelight]

We use any sca or dca antifreeze.

[@timcondren72]

What series do you like better 66 or 86?

[@IHdelight]

66

[@mejorgy]

Maybe encourage the owner to invest in some soap and wax? It’s too pretty of a girl to let it fade.

[@IHdelight]

Very true. I should do that.

[@troyfly6501]

Not criticism ! But is that normal procedure to start with throttle wide open then close to idle after it fires? I grew up on IH tractors and we never did that? And I’ve never heard of that,,,,but I’ve seen this starting technique on a couple different channels now? Is there a reason to start a diesel this way??

[@bradjenkins932]

It wasn't wide open

[@troyfly6501]

@@bradjenkins932go back and watch again

[@IHdelight]

Not sure I'd have to go back and watch for what part you are talking about but you are correct,you shouldn't start a cold engine and have the throttle full tilt.

[@troyfly6501]

@@IHdelight it’s at 40 seconds starting the 1456, you didn’t “start” it full tilt, you cranked the throttle wide open while you cranked the starter, when it fired, then you pull it to idle. Just never saw it done this way and I was curious?

[@IHdelight]

@@troyfly6501 yeah, it just needs fuel to start is all, wether you give it just enough or full throttle it doesn't matter as long as you controll it.
