GreenGiant2 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 ok here is a pic. still cant find a serial number. any ideas what year?hard to say was thinkin first that its an later 15b,but lookin at the dash ,looks like my old TD-9 SERIES B. nice lookin tracks,no rops easier to get under low places. what peeks my interest is on the right side u have a cover that covers the hyd. lines on the floor plate. dont understand why ,my machine had them there for the winch hyd lines from the engine mounted pump. the throttle handle is very simalar to my old 9,dash and all. i want to say that it is an older model. you may be able to look at the injector pump and get #s of and look up what that pump fit on also. so did you get it for a steal???????????? look good to runGreenGiant2 Quote We the unwilling, Lead by the unqualified, are doing the impossible, for the ungrateful.

Rob Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I remember the look of those tractors in the 67-72 timeframe. I was too young in those days to know what I was looking at, but the IH dealer wasn't far and was an active playground.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

HK Trucking Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 A 15B with the square corner grille like that would be mid 60's vintage.Late 60's they went to the rounded grille that looked more like a Caterpillar..

HK Trucking Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 A lot of stuff on those machines is the same as a 175B loader, not sure if the sprockets would be the same, since the tracks are different than a 175..

GreenGiant2 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Actually this takes a sprocket ring, do those still have dowels?B and C models all had sprocket rings , many of the parts off the 175's will interchange,realy all that is different is the side frames. little difference in the finals with gear size and heft. try finding a parts book on line to find the difference between the two.GG2 Quote We the unwilling, Lead by the unqualified, are doing the impossible, for the ungrateful.

silverstar Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 any luck yet finding a serial # on the machineGG2Couple of guys on redpower forum have given me a close year, the engine number ( td 15b pm 7514) says that it is a 1964, Rocko (Russ) thinks it may be a little newer, i am starting to think the guy hilljacked some things on it, its not in the main work shop yet, just in a shed, but we took all the hood and side sheilds off. Evedently the guy did not believe in washing equipment, ever, this thing has more grease and dirt on it. I have never seen a machine so dirty. There is problably some more number under all the grease. I started to do a filter search like you recomended (simple good idea). So i thought lets start with the air. Well guess what, no air filter. If you run a machine without an air filter, what other stupid stuff did he do? So thats were i am at. I still see alot good with the machine though, nothing major seems to be wrong yet. Now i need manuals, would like to get a parts manual and service manual for a 15b. got any ideas? thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/12729-pic-of-15/#findComment-50138 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now i need manuals, would like to get a parts manual and service manual for a 15b. got any ideas? thanksthinkin that it could be a 64 , would make me think that the dowel size will be the smaller size, which means you need to find parts for a B series, parts off a 175B would work........you could always look on ebay for manuals, dont know if i like the idea of no air filter, is there a decal on the filter housing that states what international part # the filter would beGG2 Quote We the unwilling, Lead by the unqualified, are doing the impossible, for the ungrateful.
