Looks like it started out in life as a Chisholm-Ryder green bean picker, note the yellow paint and the seat and seat mount

Only way to be sure is to count the number of splines and the measure the diameter of the shaft. Different tractors used different shafts but the drop housings castings were the same.

Have a M and W turbo on a Hydro 100 that we bought new. Been on the since tractor was less than a year old. Got around 5500 hours on it now. Needed a little more power for chopping. I spend many days on it pulling a 720 and then a 781 chopper. Worked great chopping haylage. Used it also some for corn silage with a two row head but had to watch the exhaust temp. Could get the M and W Pyrometer to over 1000 degrees pretty quick. When we wanted to get something done chopping corn, we would unhook the Hydro 100 and put on the 5288. No worries then and power wasn't a problem. LOL. One other thing. Once when my Grampa was chopping haylage back in the early 80's. The braided line from the filter to the turbo sprung a leak. Didn't notice it until it was time to switch wagons. Was leaking pretty good. Shut tractor off immediately. No oil reading on dipstick. Dumped over 4 gallons of oil in it to get it to full. Was pretty nervous when we fired it up and started chopping again. Engine and turbo still is original and untouched. I would say we got lucky that day.

Yep, Behlen kit. Had a setup just like it on a Farmall H, including the oil tank.

These are 3 sets on a 650 with 26 inch cast wheels, same weights as 2nd set on a W-4.

Most edibles are dessicated and direct harvested today and rotories do just fine. But when beans were knife pulled and windrowed, especially the newer varieties, they had tougher and greener stems and would wrap around the rotor and rumble and take a ton of power. Can remember harvesting at 1 to 1.5 mph in tough stemmed beans. The Baxter did help to get the stems to "screw" thru faster but still wasn't as good as a dedicated bean combine. The specialty edible bean combines like the Lilliston combine really shined with the new tougher stem varieties. They had 3 spring tooth cylinders and 5 spring tooth concave bars and green stems didn't bother plus was gentler on the beans themselves.

Gary Baxter from St Louis, Michigan was the guy that modified the original rotors for use in edible beans. There was a ton of them around this area back in the day. We had one in a 1420. Here is an article about him. Over the past year, Gary Baxter, St. Louis, Mich., has developed a growing sideline business rebuilding rotors on the popular and already highly productive IH Axial Flow combines. Baxter developed his modified rotor on his own farm when he had trouble with tough crop residue in edible beans and heavy straw in his wheat crop. His rebuilt rotor has curved helical rub bars on the rear half of the rotor rather than the straight factory-equipped bars. "The Axial Flow is already the Cadillac of the combine industry but the curved bars provide a more even flow of heavy residue, boosting capacity and doing a better cleaning." "We remove the straight bars and bolt on our curved bars for use in edible beans, soybeans, and small grains." In corn, Baxter removes the curved bars and installs his version of International's straight bars, which he says also work better than the originals. The factory bars have a slight incline to the rear while Baxter's are perpendicular to the rotor, which he says makes for less friction against the concave, reducing the power requirements while doing as good a job or better. "Factory combines are equipped for average conditions. Our improved bars equip the combines for all conditions," says Baxter. He notes that the new bars are particularly good in edible beans, which are a big crop in Baxter's part of Michigan, because seed quality is extremely important in determining marketability. He says the crop material follows the curve of the bars, harvesting more gently without having to force material back along a straight line. Baxter says that the more than 100 farmers who have had their IH rotors rebuilt for soybeans, wheat and other small grains have had good results. "We have been told that International plans to introduce a new rotor design that will incorporate similar new design changes. The company already has a rotor for rice that has some of the same benefits of this rotor," he says. Baxter rebuilds the rotors on his farm. Farmers should ship the rotors or bring them in themselves. He's had farmers drive in from as far away as North Dakota and Nebraska. A rebuilt rotor for the mid-size 1460 costs $977. The smaller 1420 costs more at $1,016 and the 1480 costs $1,233.

966 and 1066 hydro were included in gear drive owners manual

Looks like around 200 460 LP Utilities built according to the IH archives in Wisconsin

I bought the Super W6-LP and the O-4 with the batwings on it.

Anybody know where to get a chassis decal set for a 600/650 tractor?

Working on our 5488 AWD and trying to get it to steer easier. Steers alot harder than our 5088 and 5288, both AWD. Checked the steering relief valve, put in new oring and adjusted it to two threads showing as stated in another post. Rebuilt the hand pump and that didn't solve it either. Will steer very hard at idle and when you try to turn it the hyd. seat drops down. Never noticed that before. I assume the two things are related. Steers a little easier at half throttle but not like the other tractors. What should I do for the next step. Rest of the hydraulics work fine, although they maybe be slightly slower than the other tractors but not much. Filters were changed 40 hours ago and are put in correctly. Any help greatly appreciated.

I think these paver tractors have splined axles like a 300/350/460 Utility.

Definitely was a paver tractor. Piper Paine was the name of the Trac Paver company.
