International International 574 Common Problems This Manual Covers
IH 574 three-point hitch hesitates before lifting, raise response feels slow and delayed p. 27
Check the Raise Response adjustment in the Hydraulic Controls section starting page 27. Verify the transmission and hydraulic fluid is filled to the correct level per the 9 gal. (34.1 L) capacity spec on page 81, then inspect the hydraulic fluid filter; replace it if it has exceeded the 200 hour service interval.
Manual Section: Hydraulic Controls for Three-Point HitchService brakes feel spongy and parking brake won't hold the tractor on a slope p. 15
Check the hydraulic and transmission fluid level against the 9 gal. (34.1 L) capacity spec on page 81, since low fluid starves the wet brake discs and the parking brake mechanism. Bleed air from the lines, adjust the brake linkage, then road test on level ground with the implement lowered before returning to work.
Manual Section: Driving the TractorFuel tank rusted and leaking at the bottom corners, fuel gauge reading looks inaccurate p. 13
Drain the tank and inspect the bottom corners for rust-through per the Filling the Fuel Tank section on page 13. Confirm actual fuel volume against the 20 gal. (75.7 L) tank capacity on page 81 before condemning the sending unit, since a corroded float arm often causes the same inaccurate gauge reading.
Manual Section: Driving the TractorGasoline engine oil pressure warning light stays lit right after a cold startup p. 19
Check the Engine Oil Pressure Gauge troubleshooting steps on page 19. Pull the dipstick and confirm the crankcase is filled to the 7 qt. (6.6 L) capacity for the C-200 gasoline engine per page 81, then check the oil pressure sending unit wiring for a loose or corroded connection before condemning the pump.
Manual Section: Gasoline Engine and Fuel SystemDiesel engine cranks slowly or won't start at all in cold weather p. 21
Follow the Diesel Engine Cold Starting steps beginning on page 21, including the ether injection procedure for low temperatures. Pull the dipstick and verify the crankcase holds the correct 10 qt. (9.5 L) capacity for the D-239 engine per page 81, since low or thickened oil increases cranking resistance in cold conditions.
Manual Section: Diesel Engine and Fuel SystemFrequently Asked Questions
How can I free trapped air in the hydraulic system of an IH 574 tractor?
To free trapped air in the hydraulic system, start the tractor engine and operate it at a moderate idle speed. Slowly move the control levers back and forth ten or twelve times through their full range of travel. Additionally, move the steering wheel first to one extreme, then to the other, and then back to center to ensure all trapped air is released.
What is the engine oil capacity for the D-239 Diesel Engine Crankcase on an IH 574 tractor?
The engine oil capacity for the D-239 Diesel Engine Crankcase is 9 quarts (8.5 L) without a filter change. If the filter is changed, the capacity increases to 10 quarts (9.46 L).
What is the fluid capacity for the transmission and differential case, including the hydraulic system, on an IH 574 tractor?
The transmission and differential case, which also serves as the reservoir for the hydraulic system, has an approximate fluid capacity of 9 gallons (34.1 L) when the filter is changed. It is crucial to use IH Hy-Tran Fluid for proper performance.
What is the recommended replacement interval for the engine oil filter on an IH 574 tractor?
The engine oil filter should be replaced every 200 hours of operation. This ensures that the circulating oil remains clean and free of harmful materials, which is vital for the longevity of the engine's bearings.
Under what conditions should the diesel fuel filter elements be replaced on an IH 574 tractor?
The primary diesel fuel filter element should be changed when the engine is misfiring or a loss of power is evident. If these symptoms persist, the final filter element should also be replaced. After any filter replacement, it is necessary to vent the fuel system.
