Pulling dozer blade off my 856 and putting it back the way it was. This 826 will be on dozer duty from now on.

Bought another 826. Needs some attention but decent and honest 826. Hrs seem right for what tach shows. Im looking for an 826 grille and screen and another original IH stamped muffler for it. Part # 530 888R1-R4 18.4x34 clamp-on rear wheels 7.50-16 6 bolt front wheels Tach shows 4760hrs Mech seat Factory open station TA 2 Hyd

'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.

Friend bought it by Dallas, waiting for truck to take it to PA.

Not that bad but pricey. New bottom bearing and race is pain to remove. Have to be carefull with teflon seals and compressing them to fit back and and get one past the center opening. Lots of crap and gunk builds up in there. Suprised how nasty it was but since used motor was main source of hyd oil for no telling how long, it shouldnt have suprised me.

Yeah buddy, turns out end cap o ring wasnt the one leaking. Total rebuild/reseal now. Atleast i can power wash underneath bolster.

Rebuilt shifter high/low/rev top plate, shift levers, added a used hycap trans brake rod, pulled radiator and had it checked and cleaned at shop, power washed radiator support, pulled frame rail to replaced brazed steering line and replace leaking oring on wet bolster.

Front axle not rebuilt but broke loose, sanded smooth, slopped up with oil and narrowed in all the way. New turbo, sleeve, rings, elbow and good used manifold. Someone pounded on this before me. Probably when they narrowed it up from 38-40" to 34".

Crazy part is damn thing fires right up and runs smooth. Interesting to see 3LD-223 turbo on name plate.

Texas Tea where it shouldnt be. No idea whats on the fuel filter.

Cab already sold and sold quick! Definetly interested in seeing detailed pics of 3rd factory/dealer installed set up. If someone would copy and repop the lever set up they would sell a pile of them. Only draw back is you cant use 3rd remote with hyd seat.

No its some Texas Cowboy set up.

Waco, TX

Damn thing has 3 hyd valves on it! Thats a 1st.
