Eason

Welcome back Mark!!

Matt I think that's right.

Do any of you remember a 52 or 5488 a town bought for disking in waste at the wastewater treatment plant? Right after they bought it they changed their minds and the tractor sat. It had less than 100 hours and IIRC sold for $97,000

My hydro 86 fenders are wobbly also. It's how they are mounted to reduce noise and vibration. I'm seriously considering installing a ROPS to mount them solid.

I have those adapters in stock. I also have the conversion kits also. PM me for a phone number.

Thank guys, it's been great so far!!

There were some Sundance models in the early S series also.

544 and 656 had to be a Hydro. 756 was never offered as a gold demo. 826 was the only one offered with a choice of transmissions. 1026 was built only as a hydro. 1456 was built only as a gear drive. As for those with money to flaunt it comment; I bought my first 656 utility row crow from a dealer for $1500. They had put the rear hood on incorrectly and messed up the forward reverse lever adjustment. The deals are out there you just have to look.

prayers for you!

The oil pans might be different. I think the front cover is different as the 63 oil fill is in the front of the engine. I think on the 69 it's on the valve covers.

IIRC in 89 the highest hp on a DT-466 was 210, DTA-466 was 215 to 245 hp.

I will say this. I have a 544 diesel. Same engine as a 674. Previous owner used Rotella 15w 40 and it used oil and smoked. I ran it for several days and then changed oil. I put Viscosity 30 wt oil in it and it doesn't smoke nearly as much and has quit using oil. Just my personal experience.

I bought a XT-2 60 in zero turn with a Kawasaki motor and couldn't be happier. I had a Hustler 50 in with a Kawasaki and it was an ok mower. Now supply chain issues from Cub Cadet are another issue altogether!!!

You know the Texans are ok with a Scout in the yard!

I don't think he repainted the 1026 rice tractor but all of his tractors were painted ferarri red and the gold was pt cruiser gold. He liked ferarri red so ALL of his tractors were that color.

Interesting the truck has the styling of the L series but the IH emblem, not the triple diamond.

IIRC it was DC or Pa.

I was down at the Outer Banks of NC last week. Young guy and girlfriend tried driving their Prieus in the sand. Got stuck. We helped push them out. The DA was putting the floor mats under the rear wheels for traction. When we started to push them out BOTH him and his girlfriend got in the car to drive it out. I asked him to let her drive and HE could help push!!!

My 784 has the extendable arms

I have a NOS IH spotlight with that bezel.

The AC dealer here in town sold one. We worked on it in my auto mechanics class around 1976. IIRC it had a 2 stroke engine.

I would try IH parts America (Jeff Ismail) Do not use Scoutparts.com

The spin on filter head is around $300. I just converted my 544 from glass bowl type to spin on. I can get you a list of parts if you need. PM me with your email address.

Down here we have a lot of "Southern Belles" with welded arms on the spindles. Are taper-locs worth the hype or would you stick with regular spindles and arms. Thanks for any reviews.

I looked it over at the Red Power Roundup. His attention to detail is second to none!
