Old International Harvester tractors are some of my favourite classic machines. They absolutely nailed it with the gold demonstrator models back in the day. Even the all white farmall demonstrators were fantastic looking

Grew up on Allis-Chalmers, then became an AC dealer, but in the 1960's and 1970's, IH was our biggest competition. Nice video.

Please drive this classic tractor at the next parade in Pomeroy, IA Mr. Lenz might be glad that you did.

Like the man said the Hydros weren't much for heavy field work. More suited for PTO and loader work where the Hydro wasn't lugged. Had several in my area for a very short while. Then they were loaded by the semi load and shipped out of state to auctions.

I worked for a guy in high school that had a hydro similar to this, had a loader, was good for augers, spraying and loader work but we tried a disk on it and didn't have much success, comfortable and quiet though

When my grandpa bought his 1026 Hydro there were only two in the state of Michigan! My Grandpa also bought a demonstrator model with the Gold and Red Paint. The 1026 Hydro was without question the best tractor he ever owned. My dad took it to tractor pulls and it outperformed many tractors that were rated more horsepower and torque. Yes, we turned the pump up and we estimate the tractor was putting out around 300 horsepower which was a lot of power back in those days! I prefer a Hydro over geared tractor any day. I think the International 1026 Hydro was one of the best tractors to ever be produced by International. Those were the days! I really miss that tractor.

Bob Hirdes I’m guessing the hydraulic pump didn’t last very long on it

But did the transmission last ?
