Re: 184 SELECTOR VALVE rebuild needed asap
so I drained it and only about 2 qts came out.......that level plug on the side of the case ....who knows what it is for because it took 7 qts to come out the back plug.........man I've been running it like that for all last season.....no odd noises and no metal was in the oil so hopefully all is well now.......and selector valve works well once again........with the plow on the back I had no issue walking right up the guys steep driveway, I blew down it , the snow was level and in some cases coming over top the blower....lol

The transmission/differential case on the numbered Cubs is the same case as the standard Cubs. The plug on the side of the transmission.differential case is the full level for a standard Cub.mastercraft wrote:so I drained it and only about 2 qts came out.......that level plug on the side of the case ....who knows what it is for because it took 7 qts to come out the back plug.
I have an excuse. CRS.

would be nice if they were clear in the service manual about differences and not leave things vague.Eugene wrote:The transmission/differential case on the numbered Cubs is the same case as the standard Cubs.

The most service manuals were written for the experienced mechanic. For the novice or intermediate mechanics the parts manual is an excellent resource.
As far as differences in the various models of IH tractors, this site is probably your best resource.

Don't forget that the Creeper has its own fluid reservoir with its own fill level plug "on the side".
Your loboy requires a lot more trans fluid than a cub because this fluid is also used for the hydraulics.

Re: 184 SELECTOR VALVE rebuild needed asap
I know plenty of "highly experienced mechanics" that would of had the same concern/question in regards to the manuals wording vs what was on the tractor that I had.........Doesn't mean they aren't experienced. I think the issue is more so that the manual was written for the "experienced IH tractor mechanic" where a lot of theses things are understood or they are educated on as they work on them often being dealer oriented. thank you for all your help sir.Eugene wrote:mastercraft wrote:would be nice if they were clear in the service manual about differences and not leave things vague.

Re: 184 SELECTOR VALVE rebuild needed asap
yeah, I know all about the separate fill of the creeper and the fact there is no drain plug on it or was it had no real fill location......I remember having to do something weird to pill it or either suck the fluid out through the level plug.....either way it was a pain........loloutdoors4evr wrote:Don't forget that the Creeper has its own fluid reservoir with its own fill level plug "on the side".

Re: 184 SELECTOR VALVE rebuild needed asap
no problem....................well guys on a side note, I built a lock bar for the rear three point this week so I can lock the plow i USE for weight in the up position as it slowly was leaking down......tested it today and worked flawlessly, I drilled 2 extra holes, one to lock it in the all the way down position and another for the middle. Now all I need to do is rebuild the distributor and convert it to petronix elec ignition and I'm ready for the next big snow once again...lol, Also picked up a set of heavy duty industrial belts for the pto drive for the blower the green power rated belts don't hold up as well as they are light duty belts.Mike H wrote:mastercraft wrote:I appreciated your help Mike H!

Re: 184 SELECTOR VALVE rebuild needed asap
well, update............so, with this major blizzard as they called it around here 30+ inches I found the weak links in my 184 snow machine..........slector valve rebuild, always have spare belts on hand...lol, built a locking bar for the 3 point that is adjustable in 3 positions, and finally, ditch the points and condensor set up, the 184 had always been hard starting when it got cold out, meaning below 30 degrees, I would have to aim my kerosene heater at it for 15 min for easy starts........well, with the petronix and flame thrower coil upgrade......not anymore, she fired right up today in the cold, the real test will be in the morning when it's 25 degrees out and frost. Anyway, to anyone who still runs point and is considering the electronic ignition upgrade, do it!! crisper starts and twice the firing voltage on hand to allow you to run wider spark plug gaps that provides for a stronger spark for a cleaner burn..........now don't read to far into that as I know where only dealing with an 18 hp 4 cyl flathead motor on the 184......lol

Re: 184 SELECTOR VALVE rebuild needed asap
I'll be watching this one, I got a diverter valve/3pt with the Lo Boy I just got, but it appears it is rusted stuck. Not sure how to go about freeing it up. But I will also need to rebuild it.

Most are stuck in the down position. Unscrew the knob. Apply a petroleum based solvent on the valve for a day or two.ihcc104 wrote:I'll be watching this one, I got a diverter valve/3pt with the Lo Boy I just got, but it appears it is rusted stuck. Not sure how to go about freeing it up. But I will also need to rebuild it.
Install a large flat washer and nut in place of the knob. Hook a claw hammer or pry bar under the flat washer. Gently tap, prying up on the flat washer.
If stuck in the up position, gently tap on the nut.

There is no knob or stud sticking up, wonder if it is broken off.... there is a recess in the top of it. Its too cold out right now, but I will take a couple pics and start a new thread instead of hyjacking this one
