7and8and1456

Had a delivery of diesel ( farm fuel) Monday 8-31. $4.80/gal.

Neighbor had one in the 70's and harvested some grain for us a couple of times. Pulled it with a 135 MF and maybe a 245 MF.

IH literature has name as 315 Packer Mulcher.

Here is a 986... https://www.facebook.com/farmstockpullers/videos/ih-986/860377698489715/

Operators manual and parts catalog have no evidence of any front axle other than the heavy duty one for 1456. However the lighter standard duty front axle for 7, 8, 1256 possibly could be used on 1456 provided that the lower bolster is same as for lighter standard axle. Did you acquire your 1456 new or used? If used , could front axle have been changed by previous owner as replacement for broken parts? As for 66 series having a tricycle front with external cylinder, that has got to be a freak of nature! 06 and 56 International ( "Wheatland models") had front axle with external cylinder on the right side. I'd sure like to see evidence of one of those freak 66's.

According to Messick's site with Case/IH parts catalog diagrams, in addition to what is seen as the normal usual front axle on 66 and 86 tractors ( "dry" bolster with external cylinder) both series were available with a "wet bolster " for a narrow front axle (tricycle). When equipped with the tricycle "wet upper bolster" either of two heavy duty adjustable front axle assemblies ( different width tread spacing) or a Hi-Crop front axle could have been had. To use any of these axles required the same lower bolster with pivot pin as 06, and 56. All these front axles were the same as used on 1456 ( and according to my parts books), could have been had on 1256, 856, 756, 826, 1026 and possibly the 06 series. https://www.messicks.com/catalogs/case/1066-international-66-series-diesel-tractor-0/susp-suspension/14-05-suspension-adj-wide-tread-front-axle-766-966-1066-hydro-100-trac-w-tricycle-front-upper-bolster https://www.messicks.com/catalogs/case/1066-international-66-series-diesel-tractor-0/susp-suspension/14-07-suspension-adjustable-front-axle-connections-766-diesel-966-1066-hydro-100-hi-clear-tractors https://www.messicks.com/catalogs/case/1086-international-diesel-tractor-01-76-12-79/susp-suspension/14-05-suspension-adjustable-wide-tread-front-axle-models-with-tricycle-front-upper-bolster So the information from All States is correct after all. It's just that 66 and 86 series that used the center steering arm were most likely rare to find, High Crops being the most likely candidate.

Yes.

Worked perfect yesterday. Checked fluid level.. full. PTO works, hydraulics all work. Brakes, TA work. Checked the plug on MCV ... fluid flowed when cranked engine over with starter only. Jacked front axle up to see if weight off tires made any difference. Still no steering when steer wheel is moved. I then attempted to force raised front wheels side to side. No restriction to movement, they moved left and right easily by hand. Then I saw problem. Center steering arm to the tie rods had broken! Where would you get a replacement? Here.. IH part 358970R1 ( enter the number in your search to see many sources and prices). Or here... https://www.messicks.com/parts/case/358970r1 WOW $$$$$$ I have a spare one on hand that I ordered a few years ago just in case. But I ordered another just in case should one of them on my other tractors has one break in future.

Not cloud seeding per say, but aircraft simply passing through a particular cloud formation when conditions ( temperature and moisture ) are just right can cause precipitation to begin in the form of ice crystals (snow). See this info regarding the phenomenon known as Fall streak Hole https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallstreak_hole Precipitation from these formations is so scant that it never reaches earth. I've seen them here, both as simply a hole in the cloud layer where aircraft was climbing or descending through , or flying level for a long distance in same altitude as cloud layer. My pictures will not load. Enter this in your internet browser search bar to see lots of pictures... .. hole punch cloud images.

Bushings used in 2000 loader is same as used in 2350 loader , therefore pin is the same. Pin #9 in 2000 loader is same as pin used on 2350 loader., however 378 559 R1 is changed to 1329594C1. Further research shows pin diameter to be 28.57 mm = 1.1248031 inches ( nominal size 1-1/8 inches. I measured a good pin that I have and my vernier calipers showed 1.124 inches. Get some 1-1/8 cold rolled shaft, may have to have machine shop turn it down 2 thousandths but I doubt it because the bushings they fit in have inside diameter of 28.85 mm =1.135 inch .

Pin is #9... 378559R1. Google searched that number brought no results. Get them made at a machine shop.

To GBell966, If you or anyone else were to purchase that tractor and loader, the FIRST THING to do is slide both rear wheel centers out on the axles and get them set MUCH WIDER than they are in pictures. Wide front axle as opposed to tricycle front will not be of much difference in preventing a side roll-over. Rear wheels set WIDE apart is most important, but even then roll-over can happen with a heavy load lifted high and tractor on a side slope or in motion turning left or right. Liquid filled rear tires or a stack of iron weights on wheel centers are important also.

Here is what has happened . That loader, if a true industrial will be the model 3000. They are very similar to the 2000 model , only difference being the style of hinge mechanism at the front of the boom arms for the bucket to pivot on. Can't quite see the bucket pivots on the lift arms but the loader could very well be a 3000. Plus generally the loader operation valves were mounted on the right side frame towers. See pictures below. First two are 3000 loader. 3 &4 are 2000 loader. The loader pictured by GBell966 was used on a small frame tractor such as an International 504, 2504 Industrial, 606, 2606 industrial or others and has been modified to put on that 706. It was never intended for row crop Farmall tractors 706 and up size tractors. The front loader mounts seen in his picture are for use on small frame utility and industrial models a fore mentioned. Yes, someone bolted them to the 706 Farmall and it did go on the tractor. But using those front mounting brackets causes a problem on the tall row crop tractors. It puts the loader frame so high above the ground that when the loader is lowered to full lift cylinder retract position, the bucket is not close to the ground surface. Below are his pictures. If you notice where the lift cylinders attach to the loader frame there are three holes there in the frame. The front one is where the factory attached the cylinder. On the pictured loader, the loader lift cylinder pivot was moved to the rearmost hole of the three. This involved welding new pin bosses in the frame holes as none are there from factory. This will allow the loader arms to drop the bucket to the ground. However this new location of the lift cylinder attachment changed the geometry of the motion so that the cylinder rod contacted the gusset bracing of the tower to the frame side rails. This did not work, so a portion of the gusset was torched out to provide clearance for the cylinder rod. The unpainted steel on the side of the frame was most likely a repair for some cracks that developed in the steel of the frame. Whomever mounted that loader should have looked at parts catalogs and pictures of loaders mounted on 706 and above tractors and constructed factory style front brackets and rear axle mountings so the thing fit properly. It would make the tractor and loader safer to operate. Below are two pictures of a loader mounted on a 706 as it should be. Notice the front mounting bracket. Also are two pictures I grabbed off Red Power years ago of the same thing done to a loader mounted on a 504 Farmall. It is too high on that tractor. The fellow who owned it posted a picture sometime later of the tractor and loader laid on its side in a road. Last picture is of a loader on a Farmall 504 with correct front mounting brackets. Notice how much higher the modified loaders are on both the 706 and 504 as compared to factory correct mountings.

Here are some pictures and a short clip from a 1952 National Geographic Magazine. Angus and Hereford cattle were little fellows back then. The photo of teen boy holding halter to Hereford steer states that the champion steer at the show weighed 1,025 lbs.

"What breeds are the beef sires mostly coming from? Are any coming from Holstein sires with modified or selected traits?" We always bred the few " less than desirable" type of cows( good enough to milk, but would not want to save offspring from) to Black Angus. The Angus herd I have now generated from Hol X Ang heifers that I kept. They are A.I. bred to Black Angus. Guy who delivers for Select Sires sells quite a bit of Black Angus to some dairies.
