Watch that hydraulic pump. When the seal goes out it dumps directly into the engine crank case where the distributor/hydraulic pump shaft goes into the front spline. It will run still, but you'll lose hydraulics and it will eventually stall out as the engine gets flooded from the bottom with hydraulic fluid. Knew a guy who ran his 350U like that thinking there was no power steering. He sold it to me despite me explaining that there was a power steering unit, and he had a bad leak somewhere or bad pump. Crank case oil/hydraulic fluid coming out of the dipstick hole was a good clue Shes running great now. Good luck ! they dont make em this easy to fix anymore

I have owned 2 300's and a 350 Hi Utility and they are the best tractors made. The 3pt cannot be beat by anyone even today. Power down makes it one heck of a handy tractor.

Great to see your "new" 300 Utility. I grew up on the IH Experimental Farm south of Hinsdale IL. Dad worked there as a dairyman when they were still making milking equipment. I do have a bucket milker but the red rubber they used in those days is pretty much deteriorated. Neat to have one as Dad worked with them through my growing up years in the 40's. We lived on their farm so I watched a lot of the IH history unfold, which included the development of the transition from Alphabet series into the number series, especially your tractor. Their farm, and neighboring farms, were used to test their equipment making engineering changes when problems were found through actual farm use. Yes I've been close to red tractors all my life, even though I'm not into that business as I go through my 80's. Enjoy use of that 300 Utility, JimM. .

Hi Preacher, I had the ignition right off the 300U this weekend, I figured it out completely. There is a sure way to get the timing right that I saw Pete demonstrate on the Just a Few Acres channel. I had the wrong button inside the cap that was not snug on the shaft! Now it's running much smoother with better throttle. BTW, those holes on the side of the bell housing (3 each side for mounting a bucket) are open to the inside of the casting! I ended up putting some 1.5" inch bolts in those (do not turn in more than that) to keep water out.

Sounds like the carb is filling with gas and running until the gas runs out. I would check the filter in the gas line and the fuel bowl first. Most of the time there is rust in these old tanks and until you get that rust out it will keep stopping up. Just a guess, hope this helps. I have a carburetor rebuild video as well.
