A customer of mine is thinking about putting a rops roll bar and canopy on his 1466. I saw on Iron Bull's website some pictures but not very plain as far as the mounting. I called them and they said the fenders need to mount to the ROPS. The axle brackets need to come off. I forgot to ask on the phone how close the frame is to the brake drums. If the structure needs to be taken off to service the brakes that's a pain. Also hw close are they to the rear tires? I This tractor is on 36" row spacing but has 20.8x38 tires. The tires can't go out any more because the axles have been chopped off. Anyone have one and care to share info or pictures? Thanks. https://ibullmfg.com/tractor_canopies/international-rops-and-canopies/

Hello everyone - Greetings from Charlotte, NC. Unfortunately, my father passed away recently (he was 58) and I'm left with three Internationals: 1966 806D (pictured), 1967 806D, 1974 1466 These tractors were never show ponies - always work horses on a dairy. He bought the '66 806 before I was born (I'm 29). Because of this, they're all in need of a good amount of work - particularly the 806s, they both need a new clutch. I don't want to sell the tractors - I'd like to keep them and restore as I find time & money. Although I spent the first 20 years of my life milking cows, stacking hay, and cutting silage - I stepped away from that after college and now work in engineering. It's safe to say that these old tractors inspired my fascination with engineering and mechanical stuff. My first goal is to get them all running - some have been sitting for a few years, but were all running when parked. The '66 806 just required a new battery and a shot of ether to fire right up. I suspect the others will be the same. This will take years of work and tons of money, but hopefully it'll be worth it in the end. I'm sure I'll need the help and support of this community. Pictures of the other tractors to come shortly. Thanks, -Chad
