IH FARMS

I'd try Meyer's tractor salvage Aberdeen South Dakota.

10.00 x 16 front tires. 18.4x38 rears. Just running a pair of duals for now. I've got 18.4x38 wedge lock cast wheels for it when she's done.

Still working on this project...pictures later...

Unhooked the planter, washed the 1086. Then buffed out the paint and cleaned the interior.

Here's a couple I took last fall.

Planted soybeans.

Putting a different 350 in the 90 chevy farm truck.

Nice shop , can't wait to see it all done. You'll enjoy it for years. I'm in my shop all day every day.

Looks great.

I've used the 856 for some light work around the farm but never had time to get the chassis painted. I worked this summer on building an addition to the shop. This is a 36x40 addition (same size as the main shop). This new part will have a parts department and a mezzanine on top of that. This room will be where the restoration projects will be in and the main shop can be opened up for the farm repairs again. New build has 3 inches of closed cell spray foam insulation on walls with 24 inches of blown fiberglass in the ceiling.

Here she is at 5 months.

Ran the 856 most of the day on the rock picker. Everything seems great,,not leaking anywhere. Hopefully I get time this summer to clean it up and paint the chassis.

Our new puppy. The kids just love her. She's a great pyrenees and golden retriever mix.

Thanks, can hardly wait to get the chassis cleaned up and painted this summer. Then back in the shop and completely reassembled.

No blow by,,,no smoke,,,no leaks.

Easy work.

Cool video! Looks really nice.

Nice find. I've got a model 100 I would like to restore someday.

Wow,,,congratulations. Can hardly wait to see it!

I'll go and look at it tomorrow. I hope there is a model tag on it somewhere. I'll also look if it's side knotters. Very interesting to see interest in this. I'll report back tomorrow,,thanks....Keep up the good work Tony.?

Got the 856 up and running. Runs very nice no leaks anymore. Running it on the degelman rockpicker this spring and moving 30000 bushels of corn with a 10x61 auger just the way you see it here. Tachometer isn't original just one I had laying around as for the temperature gauge also. Got all correct gauges when I get it painted this summer. Running dual rims that way I can get the original wheels painted up. Had to put on one of the side panels just to see the shiny 2150 red.

As I look at this baler I remembered my Dad has something on the edge of the grove. Went over and snapped a picture,,nope I was off,,it's a New Holland. Keep up the good work it's looking very nice.

Thanks and your right it's a lot of work to put it back to original condition. Good luck with your 1066. The black stripe 66 series are really sharp all painted up.
