I used to rock crawl Tellico near Murphy NC. My Diesel Terra had a crawl ratio of 68 to 1. Didn't do anything amazing just chugged along.

You could add the 234 hydro. I have a 2544 hydro industrial.

Tim, Did you know Brad Coltrain that worked for Kodak? I believe he was a chemist.

Matt must be a Frankenstein tractor!

Obviously, the owner doesn't know what he has when he says it's a 12forward/6 reverse transmission. It's a 360. The 360 has 2 oil filters on the right side upside down. The 358 german diesel has 1 filter mounted horizontal.

I just put a set of reman injectors in my 2001 F-250. Readily available from Ford.

1 just sold down here at a Rich & Rich auction 826 gear drive. Auctioneer didn't know what he was selling. Brought $8900 https://richandrich.nextlot.com/public/sales/95218/lots/19803192

That's my 664. I bought the loader used from a guy in Pa. He had it on a 504.

No, it's just an early one. 12907 of them built.

I'm planning on going.

I was referring to the original movie in which the series was based off of. In the movie there were several shots of an IH dealer Sparta Equipment.

So sorry to hear this. Prayers for both families. Will continue to pray for you and your family.

Prayers for Zeke and his family.

It was a stock N/A 856. I have to ask this question, Big Bud Guy why are you on here? You hardly ever have anything positive to say about IH.

i ran a side console 3020 diesel for years with the 8 speed sycrorange. We used it for plot peanut harvesters. If you held the clutch in for to long the pto would starve for oil and kick out. We had to knock the tractor out of gear to utilize it on the harvester. The diesel engine also had NO torque rise and would fall on it's face just like a 4430. A good 856 will give a 4430 a run for it's money. The guy who bought dad's 856 sold the 856 and bought a 4430. Even he admits the 856 is just as powerful and burns 1/3 less fuel.

I hear so much B/S about JD powershift. I'd rather have an IH tractor with a T/A or Hydro than the jerkomatic powershift. I've run a lot of JD tractors and was never impressed with them and wondered why they had such a great reputation. Superior hydraulics is a joke. JD never had a draft system worth a poot. Yes maybe they steered easier, but if you were using a front end loader on a gear drive JD and using the clutch a lot you could run out of hydraulics. This happened on certain models as least as late as the 3155. The charge pump couldn't keep up with the main pump.

I don't see how the 56 series was behind the 20 series. I'll take a 856 or the beloved 4020 anyday!!!

I sold my 2011 F-150 to my son and bought a 2018 certified pre owned F-150 similary equipped. The 2011 was more comfortable and drove better. I do like the 10 sp trans vs the 6 speed. Gas mileage is about the same. Both were 5.0s 2011 had 3.55 gears, 2018 has 3.73 gears. Luckly I did this in Nov of 2020 before everything went crazy. Performance wise the 2018 is a lot peppier than the 2011. BTW mine was rusting in the passenger cab corners also.

I don't think you would like the T-34 transmission. The gears are spaced wrong, to much gap between the gears. If you want to be creative put a Brownie box behind your transmission. These can be found in old 10 wheeler trucks. Then you would have under direct and overdrive.

The bad thing about this is the scum from the cities and town will come out to the country and steal from us!!

It should be a direct bolt in.

If you need some low ash oil, I'll be glad to ship you a case. We have cases of it in stock at work. Just shoot me a message with your phone number.

Congratulations, Keep a journal. You will enjoy reading it and looking back as time goes on.

235 hp would be a 392 engine.

Alan wasn't that where the In the Heat of the Night was filmed?
