1. The 3100 and 4100 tractors have implements that are all hydraulic driven They are "All Hydraulic" "AH" machines. They have bigger hydraulic pumps and power steering and hydro PTO were standard on them.

2. They have specific model attachments that are made only for "AH" models. And AH tractors should not be used on non AH hydraulic attachments besides log splitter and roto tillers or damage/injury can occur.

3. The 3100 and 4100 series were only manufactured for a couple of years so while they are awesome machines the implements can be hard to come by and costly

4. Another consideration when thinking about owning these tractors is if the motors on the implements fail they are very hard to find a replacement motor and not easily fixed. If Mowing or using a snow blower are the primary use for your machine, you may want to consider a more common front belt PTO machine. If you want to push snow, doze, grade, rototill, split wood mainly then the AH models are fine choices.

1. The 'long frame' tractor means that the frame is 2 inches longer

2. You can feel the extra space between the seat and the tower of the tractor

3. They added the extra 2 inches to the tractor so they were able to fit the 60 inch mowers under the tractors.

4. They started making the tractors 'long frame' in 1980

5. The short frame 400 series tractors have diamond plate pattern on the operators platform between the frame rails, all the small wheel tractors are short frame. Any 200/3000 model are short frame.

Yes, you can install our selector valve kit to make the front/mid and rear hydraulic (3 Point Hitch) lifts move independently. This is useful if you have different implements on the front and rear, like a tiller and a blade, Snow blower and weight box, Dozer blade and York Rake ETC. The kit is simple to install and fits any Case Ingersoll model. It greatly enhances your tractor's functionality.

Absolutely! Check out our 'Why Case Ingersoll' page, 'Original Brochure' page, and our YouTube channel for detailed info, how-to videos, and tractors in action. Case Ingersoll tractors excel in almost every situation and can not be beat. USA MADE.

Tractors before the mid-1980s didn't have a holding valve, which prevents 'free wheeling' downhill. With a holding valve, your descent speed stays constant. If your tractor lacks one, it can be added. Post mid-1980s models have it built into the travel control valve. The add-on holding valve is a simple install, placed in front of the rear drive motor. You can also upgrade to the newer style Travel Control Valve With the built in Holding valve as well. We often have used options for either in stock. We highly recommend adding one, especially for hilly areas. Ensure your brakes are in good shape and properly adjusted for optimal performance.

1. The Case Ingersoll hydraulic system is NOT designed for regular hydraulic oil or hydro/trans oil, but rather for motor oil 15-40; 20-50; or synthetic 5-40; synthetic 15-40 or synthetic 15-50 diesel oils and racing engine oils in these weights are good choices.

1. The need to replace motor mounts tends to be fairly common as these tractors age but not to worry, it can be an easy process to do yourself.

2. If you tractor has a lot of shake and vibration and you feel like the motor mounts are looking a bit tired you can check them you self to verify that they need to be replaced. If the bolts are not centered or close to it in the rubber mounts then they are worn.

3. Check out our YouTube video that will give you all the pointers on not only how to tell if you do need to replace your mounts and how to do the repair yourself. We stock complete motor mount kits to do the job.

1. As the tractor components wear it only takes a small amount of play for the tractor to feel like it jumps as you push the travel initially into forward or reverse

2. You can fix this by replacing the components with OEM factory parts that will make it better for a SHORT time or you can upgrade to our custom very heavy duty travel control linkage full kit we designed. Far superior to OEM or other incomplete inferior linkages out there.

3. Watch this YouTube video for better explanation of what happens when the components wear out, why it gets jumpy and our solution to fix it so you wont have to worry about it for a very long time. This is also a install video as well.

1. Yes, you can 'field adjust' your PTO to make it properly engage again in a jam, you can also remove the front cooler etc and get at it from the front and do the job as per the manual. Also many times PTO at this point in there lives are do for a rebuild or refresh.

Our hydraulic tillers rotate in both directions and work great. To use one, you'll need a hydraulic PTO valve, which can be added to any Case Ingersoll Hydro tractor or loader. You'll also need a hitch: a sleeve hitch (cheapest) or an independent 3-point hitch with a sleeve hitch adapter (most versatile). Costs vary: PTO ($250-$600), sleeve hitch ($200-$400, $650 <New), 3-point hitch with adapter ($600-$1500), and the tiller ($400-$1000). These are used prices and averages. Check out our gardening videos for more info.

Yes, you can add a hydraulic power angle to your plow. It's a straightforward upgrade if you have basic fabrication skills. You'll need a small hydraulic cylinder and our custom selector valve kit to operate the angle cylinder separately. These kits are available in our store under 'Hydraulic' or 'Custom Kits.'
