    IH 2400 backhoe/loader

    I think you will find it has dry brakes - - two disks that look like small clutch disks on each side follow the linkage from pedal to a blister or bubble held on by 3 or 4 bolts - it should be on each side just in front of axle tube

    IH 2400 backhoe/loader

    I am guessing - but the 544 probably has a bigger motor , but of the same series also the frame on 544 would be just a long side of the motor - but the 2112 would have full frame to the rear end , it would also surround the motor with the loader mounted permanently to the frame - the front...

    Transporting the dead

    I think there is a weight limit for using a tow bar that way when in the service I was not on a wrecker , but i think they used your tow bar like a sling . They would lift truck with boom winch and use tow bar to keep it from swinging
