nate 773 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Good find Brian. Is there still quite a few left down there? Glad you don't live in MN, we'd have to fight over those good ol 56 series tractors! Does it have hope or parts rig? Nate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Long Farms 1,688 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 More 856s than any other 56. There was alot more 1256s and 1456s but high hours and hired hands did them in or they slipped up north. This might be a keeper, has all the options i like, tilt steering, hyd seat, 118" long axles, 10.00-16 8 bolt, 18.4x38 wegelocks, 540/1000 pto, 2hyd, 1 factory break away, C4 block. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sledgehammer 6,362 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Going to keep the hot box or remove it for a set of fenders? Not a bad looking machine, just sat outside a lot. If it is mechanically sound it should fit right in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Long Farms 1,688 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 This one has been hacked on, so its coming off. I'll put a cab back on it once its fixed up and i find a good cab. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gleaner k2 34 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 And more weights! Everything down thier has weights hanging everywhere! Up here thier rare as hens teeth! Nobody wants to give em up at a reasonable price in my opinion! Guys up here ask $150 to $300 for a set of wheel weights 100 to 150 for a suit case weight! and not the split ones either! Guess im just jealous! Haha nice tractor! Just needs tlc! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Long Farms 1,688 Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 I have a pallet (10+) of the ihc stamped solid weights i have no need for. Most weights i dont like or need go to friends place in IA. He throws them on Craigslist for less than what others are listed for and it still takes a few months to sell. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are you saying you have suitcase weights you have no need for, or the one-piece wheel weights? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
