Dang! So sorry to hear this. Tom did all the logistics to help us when we bought an 806 Wheatland FWA years ago in MT. I joked with him that to get to the ranch where it was stored, we went to the edge of the earth, took a left and went another 30 miles! What a wonderful trip that was, and Tom - TubaCase47 was a lot of the reason it was so great. We spent several days in Great Falls, visited the last production Big Bud off the assembly line, just had such a fine time. Tom showed us his toy collection and a lot of old literature he'd gathered up.

And then there will be observations about low numbers of tractors on display at TRF. A beautiful area to visit, but with...right now...a maximum of 4 hotels in town and the closest hotels away from town being an hour away, the attraction of hauling tractors long distances and then fighting more driving to manage display and lodging is slim. It's a struggle. Bringing a semi to haul anything of size means that someone will need to drive a POV separately so that exhibitors can shuttle between the show, lodging and dining options. A lot to consider.

I've done a site search on this topic and didn't find the answer I needed, so maybe I'm beating a dead horse and don't know it. If so, I'm sorry! We're in process of engine/transmission//PTO work on an old 1206, but the tractor itself will remain in her work clothes, so needing the "old look" IH red paint, not the shiny new showroom-look type. Will be used on the block, etc. We have an old partial can of Tisco spray paint that the label says "TP 905 SP OLD IH RED". When I've searched online, the comparable find is IH RED (Pre IHC 2150 Is this gonna be what we want? Hate to fool around getting it shipped etc and it turn out to be 'off' from the old stuff. What say you guys who know these things? Am I on the right track? Thanks for the help!!

I haven't been really following this thread regularly, but The CSM has and he wanted me to add these images of ads he found during his deployment to Iraq in 2005.
