All the best to you and your family Troy. May you find clarity, perspective, and the grace needed to work through the challenging moments and trying times.

Got a set of matched duals in for the 1256 to plow on land this fall. Hung a quick hitch in preparation. Dealership decals from where it sold new added.

I have a 2022 model with the LM2 that I bought new. Zero issues thus far. Best mpg is 36 with it...generally 28 to 32 at highway speeds. Been a great truck for me. It does drink DEF when towing if using in that capacity. 2025 and 2026 models are plagued with thrust bearing issues. Have one at work that shelled it's first engine at 13k miles and was replaced under warranty. Many of these failures are at low miles. 2024 and earlier models don't seem to share in the failure rate.

Swapped out the two piece drawbar for an HD style.

Gold demos all had factory cabs as an option. I have a Farmall 544 that doesn't wear one today, but was born with one. Still has the turn signal and fuel tank skirts with the holes for lights for an ice cream box cab setup. The hydro cowling has no holes for the hydrostatic badge like those found on fender equivalents. Fenders are not gold.

Definitely an original item. Not the best picture...plastic is holding the bushing in the one.

Red all around at the home farm.

All but the 1568 were part of the Hermann collection I do believe.

TX to my buddy's place in Missouri last week, should land here at home tomorrow. First time it has been out of TX in 58 years. Yep, 656! It is patiently waiting its turn for some TLC. Need to get it down to Herrs for a hydro. The rest is all downhill.

It's a 67 model. Most of the transformation is in the thread below. Finished it up in May. Everything on it now functions, including all of the cab options.

It's a 1256. Sold new at Williamson County Equipment in Taylor, TX. I am the second owner. Believe Graves Tractor in MN bought the 1456 you're referencing and have already resold it through one of their auctions.

Had it put on a truck to head home with a couple of 88 series bug deflectors.
