How to Convert IH Hydralic Remotes to Pioneer

This is a hands-on DIY walkthrough of swapping one IH hydraulic remote to a Pioneer-style unit on an IH 1086, filmed start to finish on a real tractor rather than a bench demo. It covers disassembly, parts cleaning, O-ring placement, greasing, reassembly, and torque spec (18-25 ft-lbs), but only does one of three remotes and doesn't cover bleeding or testing under load. Best for owners planning this exact conversion.
