    International 175b sprocket

    I’ll agree that for full time use it probably needs a lot more. But most of the slack you see is from the tensioner not holding pressure. As you pump grease in it comes out around the seal. But you can still just barely get it to the correct tension. And as soon as you go in reverse it pulls...

    International 175b sprocket

    Does anybody know where the full serial number is located and it may seem like a crazy question but where is the starter switch is located. The previous owner said he also couldn’t find it and has just been crossing out the starter

    International 175b sprocket

    I’ve noticed that the 175c has a u shaped shift pattern with the throttle beside the shifter and the b’s have a sideways E shaped shaped shift pattern with the throttle in the center of the dash. But my machine has the u shift pattern and the throttle in the dash so I’m not sure if it could be...

    International 175b sprocket

    I meant to get some pictures when I bought it. But it slipped my mind. These are the only two that the seller posted in the add. I’m not sure if it’ll help any or not

    International 175b sprocket

    International 175b sprocket

    I just bought a 1979 international 175b track loader that needs a new track adjuster seal and sprocket from where the track has been slipping. All I have been able to find so far is sprockets for dresser 175c and td15. Will these fit or is the sprocket specific to a 175b?

    955k bucket won’t lift

    I haven’t had a chance to go look at it yet. But he claims it still moves fine. If it does move would it be likely that the pump just went out. And if so where is the pump for the bucket and how big of a job is it to change it?

    955k bucket won’t lift

    I’m looking at buying a cat 955 track loader to clear some trees out. The current owner says that it runs and drives good but the bucket won’t lift. I asked if it would tilt and he says he wasn’t sure. My question is does the bucket and the drive share the same hydraulic pump and what could be...
