Long Farms

Pre wash rack.

Walk around video of 1256 how in condition we found it in. Strip down and clean up to follow.

Went back with 10.00-16 8 bolts, but jumped up to 16.9x38 wedgelocks on the rear, 3 sets of IH 400 078 R1 white wheel weights and got the fender lights working.

'71 with intro of 66s came decals. Also dropped chrome shifters for painted silver. Seems like grab handles were no longer plasti coated but painted black too. Start of IH starting to cheap on tractors. Late model Badged 544 and 656s also had IH style hyd coupler blocks and square fender flashers.

Looked at another 500 disc. Early version which was strike 1, frame welded on strike 2 and a $3500 price tag which was strike 3 and 4.

Still a lil greasy in few spots but it tares up the ground.

Expensive bugers.

All because grease is soooo expensive and hard to put in......I did put 2 new 2 wire hyd hoses on it today. I was suprised the lift axle wasnt wore bad. The 2 inner axle pivot brackets and straps are pretty wore. Outter 2 still look decent. Need to pull them off, clean out grease tracks and install new zerts.

IH even made a 780 with 32" blades. Those were field destroying monsters. 725# per foot.

Been wanting a 500 or 501 disc. Looked at a few 500s and only tracked down 1 501. Bought a decent 1 owner 500 14' was closest and best shape. 16' needed alot of work, farther away and thought id have too many issues getting through gates. Also saw a 770.....woof! Too much disc for me but what a disc.

7 10 N = July 10 1967 M=1966 N=1967 O=1968 and so on.

My 1206, Butch's 1206 and one that use to be local all 3 had wedgelocks and longbar 118" axles. 30", 32", 34" and 38" wedgelocks were introduced in June of '67. Casting codes on ours are July of '67. Tractors were made in August.

Mark did you put the 34" wedgelocks on there after you bought it or where they on the 1206 when you got it? Be interesting to see if they are legit original 34" 1206 wedgelocks with an August '67 casting code.

Waiting on new turbo decals and hay to get off the meadow to get it out for some good photo shoot pics. Swapped out a few parts too. If anyone has any IH stamped mufflers let me know im needing a few more.

Cab was probably added. Door decals dont match 786 tri stripe decals.

This pile of crap at brinkleys auction in OK wasnt worthy of a pic but heres the S/N.

Necessary evil
