Dealers were supposed repaint them red before they sold. A few snuck through though.

@tmonteIH Ya, it seems I heard that some where, I just didn't know if that was true or not. But they definitely look better in their gold look! Thank you for the info.

Real farmers ain't into "bling" & don't need nor want their equipment to stand out. Nothing like today's generation, screaming, "Look at me, look at meeeee!!!"

Thanks 👍

Thanks 👍

They sure are fun.

06/26/56 series is my hands down favorite. The wheetland/standard tractors with round fenders are the best.

Thanks 👍

I have zero experience with Molines and might make a point of finding one to work on in the future.

Thanks 👍

Thanks!

There will be much more.

I’m not a painter either.

I think the paint kind of tells a story. If you were to paint it you’d get rid of the signs that it’s a true demonstrator. I like your idea of giving it a bath and then maybe touch some things up here or there.

@@sterff8990 we are going to try to take the red off and get it back down to the original gold.

@@tmonteIH I think if you use some aggressive buffing compound you can get the new paint off and down to the gold

@@RyansVideoGames that’s what we are up to.

Thanks 👍

Pretty common thing on the old IH power steering.

Time and effort and it’ll be great.

It already has the tic. 😮

Thanks

Thanks

Had to be a big deal to have one.

Thanks 👍

Better than our 1468

Yes! Thank you!

@tmonteIH Got a full on restoration in mind?

@@ronzezulka6646 no just bring out the gold paint under the red

@tmonteIH Cool project either way. Looking forward to more. We had a 1456,one of my favorites.

Or just service it, clean it up and use it.

@@tmonteIH there’s that too.

Belly tank just really sets it off.

Already have a parts tractor located to fix the axles thankfully.

Thanks for watching.

Going to dig for gold.

Best part is finding them.

It’s one hell of a find.

I’m only 6’4”. Just skinny. Thanks!

That’s not an AC on the roof. It’s a swamp cooler.

Neighbor had one dad ran some. Would love to find it again.

Got lucky thus time.

Thanks

It does!

Not to my knowledge.

I'm a user. Not a restorer

@@tmonteIH Some are both...It's a shame you're not.

You got that right!

Overall wheelbase is pretty much the same. 1456 has wider bull gears in the transmission to making for the extra power.

@@tmonteIH Thanks for taking the time to reply. I should have worded my question better. What I'm curious about is if the axial housings bigger on the 1456 than the 856?

This is a keeper unless I get a ridiculous offer (equivalent to paying off my house mortgage)

Right on

Always another project.

Unfortunately a long way from me.

@scottmoodysr9449 : MF 1155? I might be interested. Need more info!

No luck involved.

Dry climate goes a long way to keeping tractors nice.

Welcome aboard! There is a lot of good IH stuff around here. Need to catch a warm day and make a video about our original paint 1468.

@@tmonteIH looking forward to seeing more from your channel!!! Best of wishes from Michigan! Be safe my friend!👍

We shall see.

Sure is

@@tmonteIH tractor ist real good?

Can’t say no to a 1256 or 1456.

Are you crazy?!

Going to try.

Wife.

What do you mean?

Sure isn’t a light clutch

Thanks

Dollars

Very little tolerance in my world for that classless comment. But thanks for revealing your backwoods hatefulness.

I washed it up and test drove after the video. TA is strong.

@@tmonteIH Cool deal. A guy could swap axles out easy enough. Then it's a question of how far does a guy go to restore it. Personally... I always go too far... Way way too far.

@@ShainAndrews I’m not much of a restoration guy. I like to get my stuff usable and dependable. I’ll steal axles off a parts 1466 or 86 sometime.

@@tmonteIH I like bringing them all the way back and using them. Fun running old equipment that is new.... But it's a bit like pissin in the wind fiscally. Seldom get the money back out.

@@ShainAndrews shiny stuff isn’t my thing at all.

Very cool.

It’ll get left pretty original.

Thanks.

No.

I would love to see that tractor in gold and if I would have owned it I would have kept it gold just so I different from someone else

Not wrong.

6 volt still sucks.

@@tmonteIH what are the sucking on ? Maybe you ? 😂 😂 try getting 1800 CCA out of sucking on your 12 volts.

@@danthurman9076 6 bolt batteries are for two cylinders. It starts fine on two 12 volts.

@@tmonteIH wait until it -10 and the wind is howling.

@@danthurman9076 and the 6 volts will be stone dead and won’t crank.

It was pretty tight for sure

No kidding.

Thanks

Maybe someday

Yes but a 6030 is much easier to find.

@@tmonteIH yes that's for sure! I haven't heard of the 1456!

6030 is a cool rig for sure. Good friends was Canadian origin on 30.5-32 rubber. Quite a horse.

Not a clue

When you can only turn the wrench 1/4 a turn at a time it takes 8 swings to get it opened up a couple full turns. I’ve bled out plenty of tractors. Doesn’t hurt to make sure you’ve got plenty of fuel. Especially on something parked for 15 years and on a day less than 45 degrees temp.

Biggest score I’ve had since our 1468.

That's the plan!

You mean the asterisk at the end of the serial number? They’ve all got that. Had a couple 856 with that on them.

If I can get it running the way I want it might drill oats this spring

Tachs go bad. Probably just grabbed another off the shelf at the dealer. It could be 800 hours on an overhaul.

Quite literally

On smaller 56 series yea. They either came 1000 or PTO delete and then dealer installed a dual PTO.

There will be more.

Where?

Hard to do with a belly tank.

I've done it with a 86 series side tank on. Never have In your situation

You got that right!

@@tmonteIH Watched 1 sell on auction in central Iowa last summer restored for 50k and we were in a bad drought area last year

That’s interesting

@toby0395 : Nope. Not aftermarket. Just optional. Plenty of farm tractors had multiple different available factory options. Why you think that tractors would all be identical, or equipped only one way, only shows your ignorance to all farm equipment in general.

@turbodiesel4709 Wow! You don't have to get your panties in a wad just because you "think" you know something. I grew up farming, and have stuck with it all my life. The fact that you seem to think everything that can be put on a piece of equipment is a factory option shows your ignorance of equipment. There have probably been more after market options installed on equipment than there ever has been factory ones, and many even installed by the equipments dealer or even offered through the original equipment manufacturer.

I’ll just rob axles and horns off a 1456, 1466, or 1486 that’s in a salvage yard.

turn up your hearing aid

Turn down your hearing aid

You know you can change volume right?

Bless you sir. Have a great day!

It’s actually a swamp cooler. Most guys weren’t willing to spend the money around here for AC.

I’m not a paint guy. But will see what I can do.

Thank you great show
