Thanks, We usually plant with it, run the culti-mulcher, and the auger on it, and make hay with it, which there are videos of it doing that on the channel, but i’ll see what I can do about getting it on here more.
I have no idea what the lever on the left actually does(I guess I'm older now and can just look it up, lol), but we always called it the "torque lever", I have no idea why, but I was given the impression that IH had a torque converter in it and that the lever just locked it up. I do know it will make the front end jump up a little when you hit on the fly, lol. I think we mostly used it for road travel, but it's bee a long time for me. I remember once my grandpa forgot to set the parking brake(IIRC, it's not actually a "brake", I think it just mechanically locks the driveline) and the next day the tractor was about 20' from where he parked it. Well maybe further, lol.
So how would you switch to a higher forward gear on the go, would you just clutch it and put it in a higher gear kinda like a semi or does the clutch and break act at the same time, I’m 12 and we have an old international 806, in the back and I want to fix it up and drive it
Nice video, I was just lookin on Iowa's Craiglist a happened to find one. Thought to myself "Boy there ain't to Common" Same goes for 1026, They are both on my "Want" list.
@@sunsetviewfarms9529 In Iowa. Really. There are 2 of them for sale here along the northern NY/Vermont border. There's always a 26 series for sale up here. I wonder why. I'm older too so sometimes I'll remember seeing something a month ago and it was actually 2 years ago so maybe they aren't as common as it seems to me up here. But nonetheless if you ever want one come to NY, PA, or VT. Just check Fastline, there are always some on there although you'd have to pay to truck one back to Iowa. Around here the 66 and 86 are still king. Lots of small 100 cow or less dairy farms and they fit that bill very nicely
Could you explain further about operation at different speeds. I have a 756 international diesel (having a hard time finding anymore information on it). So is it the sort of same idea as driving a manual transmission vehicle? I've driven standard for years but it's the high, low, and throttle at what speeds I'm not quite understanding. There's no markings on whats R,HNL or 1234 and the tachometer is out of commission So that's not helping lol. There really isn't a whole lot of info out there either, I guess everyone's had someone to teach them. I know I'll get the hang of it just need someone to help it click.
how's that 826 start in the cold? The one's I've come across were cold blooded as all heck and made me wish for a gas tractor. Not as bad as the Same Hercules we had though. An awesome tractor and I'd buy another in a heartbeat, but no block heater of course, so that meant a tarp draped over the tractor making a tent with a salamander heater under the engine when it got down near zero. Which here in north eastern NY we can have several weeks of that kind of weather and it gets old fast doing that every day at 4am so you can feed cows and clean the barn
I have a question so if I’m in second gear and moving do I have to come to a complete stop to shift in third or can I press the clutch in shift and let go or do I have to slowly let go of the clutch
I thought the finicky pull stop kill switch was the trick to operating those German diesels. But I didn't see it in this video and you didn't mention it. Does the 358 not have that like the 310 does?
That tractor does have the pull stop kill switch/choke knob if thats what you’re referring to, you’re correct i guess i failed to include that in the video
Yeah I can see it now on the left side of the lower dash. Since I posted that question two days ago, I have heard that both 310s and 358s have that same design. You don't choke the air intake on a diesel. But they say you pull that kill switch out part way and it increases the fuel for starting aid? Looks like you didn't touch it when you started the engine in the video. I have never driven one, so I'm wondering how and when you need to use it. Happy Easter.
Love mine
Nice video. I have an 826 also. I would like to see more videos on it if you got them.

Yeah, i’ve never really seen another 826, especially in person

Short and sweet
Sure thing

For the most part it does alright honestly, smokes a bit all the time but if the battery isn’r dead it’ll fire right up in the winter
@@sunsetviewfarms9529 nice
Mine starts great in cold temps

You should be able to clutch in and shift to third on the fly
Where do you fill the hydraulic fluid on the 826?
If i remember correctly its on the floor board in between the base of the seat and the bottom of the console, but don’t quote me on that

I have an International 756, it's pretty similar but it's a gas.
Yeah they’re pretty similar besides the fuel part of it
Great machine
I have a international 766
