I thought maybe somebody could help with this. My father-in-law has a International Backhoe 3414. This IS NOT a International Harvester Tractor, but a backhoe. We're trying to find parts, engine manifold to be exact, for it. Con't find parts anywhere! Any body know of a site. I've tried on Yahoo, lots of people selling whole machines, just need this one part. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Answers

try the tractor forums. You can find many by searching on Google.com. You also might want to check and see if an IH 414 has the same engine, I believe it might. Are you missing the manifold or is it just cracked? It's possible to have cracked cast iron manifolds welded.

Adeptr.com Has a list of tractor scrap yards in the US and Canada YT Mag might have a source too.

Tricia, I have a 3414 International w/ the front end loader on it. Any Case/IH dealer can get you parts. A John Deere dealer can also. Used parts are easy to find. As someone else stated, the 3414 is just an industrial grade 414 w/ a backhoe on it (or a front end loader in my case). They are good strong tractors and easy to work on.
