So the steering column and dash up a ways is black. does that make it a gold demo?? Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this interesting, as I didn't pay close enough attention to the serial number list here to see that this one was already listed over a year ago. It now has a new home & owner, me. 😎 Here's shortly after I got it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebraska1206 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 This one has a new home near Hubbard, NE. Serial number 8763. Was a one-owner tractor prior to being bought late this summer, about a month after I bought mine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacka Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 One of the most sought after "collector " tractors but after you own one and still have the right kind,size of equipment to pull behind it is one handiest,go to,most pleasurable tractors to run . I know they made roughly 2450 1026's,I just wonder how many are still out there,not scrapped.Must be quite a few because they still come up for sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red_reaper Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Was a sugar cane loader tractor. Rough was not the word, but it's one of my most favorite tractors in my collection. Love driving it! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind me asking that is. I got these from a big salvage yard that are known for being high on parts. They wanted 175/per set and there was 4 sets. I talked them down to 150/set. You can buy wheel weights just about anywhere for 125/set normally. I just wanted that patina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkLa 1086 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 OK. I knew stuff in the Midwest was way higher for IH stuff than here in the South but I never knew what rear weights went for. I guess more demand since it seems like way more running and working up there still. They are a good bit cheaper "here". And to be honest, when I get ready to buy another tractor and a combine I'll being looking in the Midwest. There are no 14 series combines running within a 100 miles of me it seems.

MKS Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) Long Farm's, I recently purchased this tractor, what can you tell me about it. Edited March 1, 2022 by MKS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Farms Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 It had been reported as salvage but no location or other info was given about it then. 1st thing I see is it has the HD front axle option and was a factory cab tractor. Does it run? Where is your location to update the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKS Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I saw it listed as salvage, after I bought it, that is why I asked what you knew about it. It is supposed to run, but has injection pump issues. Hydro has approximately 500 hours on it since rebuild. Tractor was in Nebraska Sandhills, now in eastern Ne. Front axle was changed, supposedly was Front assist.Long Farm's, I recently purchased this tractor, what can you tell me about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been sitting for 18 years inside until 2 weeks ago for the auction. Located in Hitchcock, SD 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up on that actual tractor. I grew up in PA, and worked for the man that owned that tractor. When he started slowing down, he rented me some land and let me use his equipment. Through life changes, I moved to SD. His estate auction was just held 8 days ago. I’ve stayed in touch with his children throughout the years, and they are like family to me. I went back to PA to help with the auction, getting all the equipment out and lined up. That’s kind of the short version of the story.
