1967 706 raking hay fall of 2019

been running Mobil 424 for 20+ years always good oil, no problems.

I went to a machine shop and had one made the right length. Cost less than buying one andworks good.

Just wondering how many hours on the 886 with 360? Has it been overhauled?

May the Lord be with his family.

Did IH ever have other models of hay conditioners? that is the only model I have seen. Did they make a 9foot one for the 9 foot sickle mower?

Probably 40 years ago my brother and I were at the neighbors sawmill with some logs we wanted sawed and a guy pulled into the mill with a 684 with a 2250 loader and a new IH spreader. I asked Earl who had the new tractor and he said the name of the guy and said he got that from IH in a lawsuit because he got burned when he opened gas cap on his tractor. Later on I talked with Mark the salesman at Vans Equipment in Medford and he said the same thing about the lawsuit and they were not allow to talk about it. He did say that there was quite a bit of equipment and it all went through Vans Equipment. Apparently he took equipment instead of cash.

have 2 that are not in use.

looks like a nice dozer should be fun to run.

you could buy a lime spreader from Loyal barn equipment. it is for spreading line on barn alley.

Nice flag

Nice wall Bill brings back old memories.

Prayers for both of you.

The white engine demonstrators were factory. Back in 67 or 68 the IH dealer in Merrill Wi had a new 504 diesel with white engine 3pt flat top fenders and narrow front. When asking the dealer about the white engine that is what he said. We bought a used 504 with white engine and you know it is factory.

Nice job glad you could get it running. Hope the rest of the engine is good.
