Case IH 404 Tractor Parts
404 parts and accessories
The Case IH 404 tractor, manufactured from 1968 to 1971, was a popular choice for farmers seeking a reliable and versatile machine. Powered by a 46 horsepower gasoline engine or a 40 horsepower diesel engine, the 404 delivered ample power for a variety of tasks. Its reputation for durability and ease of maintenance made it a mainstay on many farms.
The Case IH 404 was introduced in 1968 as part of the International Harvester (later Case IH) line of utility tractors. Production continued through 1971. The 404 was offered with either a gasoline or diesel engine. The gasoline version featured an International Harvester C-175 46 HP engine with a 175 cubic inch displacement. The diesel variant utilized an International Harvester BD-154 40 HP diesel engine, displacing 154 cubic inches. Both engines were naturally aspirated. The tractor came standard with a gear-type transmission offering 8 forward and 2 reverse speeds. A PTO delivering approximately 36 horsepower at 540 RPM was standard. The hydraulic system had a capacity of around 9 GPM, typically powering a single remote valve. It had a Category I 3-point hitch. The 404 was commonly used for row crop cultivation, hay baling, livestock feeding, and light tillage work. Its compact size and maneuverability distinguished it from larger models in the Case IH lineup, making it well-suited for smaller farms and confined spaces.

Maintenance Tips
- Engine Oil & Filter: Change the engine oil and filter every 125 hours using a high-quality oil that meets the manufacturer's specifications. Regularly check the oil level and top off as needed.
- Hydraulic System: Inspect hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks regularly. Replace the hydraulic filter every 250 hours to ensure proper system performance and prevent damage to hydraulic components.
- Fuel System: Use clean, fresh fuel and add a fuel stabilizer if the tractor will be stored for an extended period. Drain the fuel sediment bowl regularly to remove water and contaminants.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for the off-season, drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer, change the engine oil and filter, grease all fittings, and disconnect the battery. Store the tractor in a dry, covered location.
