International Harvester Construction Equipment Manuals — Backhoe Loaders

3 manuals

An International Harvester backhoe loader from the PayLoader era usually changes hands with nothing in the toolbox but guesswork. IH built these tractor-loader-backhoes decades ago in the United States, and most of the paperwork got lost somewhere between the second and fifth owner. That leaves you sorting out hydraulics, linkages, and service intervals on a machine nobody documented for you.

This collection holds 3 manuals covering IH backhoe loaders and loader tractors, including the PayLoader 2500B Tractor TLB operator's manual and coverage for the 3500 Series A Loader Tractor. These are the same references the factory issued when the machines were new — controls, lubrication points, adjustments, and operating procedures straight from Harvester.

If you just bought one of these old workhorses with an unknown history, start here. Knowing what the machine is supposed to do is the first step in figuring out what the last owner neglected.
