Long Farms Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Cant rip it off too quick but i can see in my mind hauling it across the scale. Such a hard to find axle too. More than likely it was the rare narrow tread center tube and they just destroyed it. Ive only seen 2-3 in person. My ant filled tach shows 4199hrs and i believe it. Alot of the wear spots are still tight. Clutch pedal, brake pedals shifters, hyd levers still fairly tight. Have it field stripped to hot wash tomorrow. Is this key cable factory or some add on to keep the steering wheel holders from loosing it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 You find this one in Texas too? Another late model with the bolted plate around the ether button??? Lots of stuff just not used enough anymore to keep up on the maintenance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Farms Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 These '71 56s have a few differences Im finding. The bolt on ether plate makes it easier to change hand pumps and carried over into 66s. They had a 1 piece plate though. Local friend has a '69 model. Only one i know of locally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
234-IA Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 ye gods the trash under the seat is worse than if the 14 had a 234 picker mounted on it is there any rhyme or reason as to why some 14s have hydraulic seat with tilt and some the fixed column? I think every 1256 I've been around that seemed original had both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for tilt vs non tilt and mechanical vs hydraulic suspension it was all options that could be any combination of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gleaner k2 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 The more projects i see you do the more i like this style of restoration! I dont know why i use to think a restoration wasnt complete without paint job! Keep up the good work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Farms Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Brian, i dont have the funds to 100% restore every IH I drag home. I figured that out on the 1st 1456 i bought and restored. No way was going to afford what i had planned. Saw that time was running out to find and collect what I wanted. I have to sell a few I fix up to keep the ball rolling. CIH is hitting older parts with beyond ridiculous prices these days. Hardest part on restoring a tractor is finding one, and second is paying for it and whats to come. Guys always knock tire condition on a 40yr old tractor. The fact you can but new tires but you cant buy a new 1456 doesnt register with some. I have from now on to fully restore what i have in my collection. I like going through them and getting them mechanically 99% and leave them unpainted. Alot easier to use and continue to fix up. Too many half ass restorations with new paint and rubber on a worn out leaky tractor. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHhogfarmer Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I’m a little late to the thread but looks like another nice 1456 to fix up. Except the crap under the seat that would not be fun to deal with 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zleinenbach Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I would leave it. All seems to work fine, pretty straight, and the conversation piece of the ultra special rare prototype front axle is almost a butchery you can’t get rid of imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a narrow front with your typical weight set up and 10 bolt duals would look great. Maybe fuel tank lights. My 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebraska1206 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I told him he needs to put 24.5-32 hubs, wheels, and tires on the back, and a narrow front up front. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Farms Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 Made a parts run today. Got some 3.5" 9 bolt dual hubs for this 1456 and some weights for the 1066 i put up for sale to jazz it up a bit more. Anyone have any if the hood brackets that go under the Air filter housing? I have 2 in a row now with that bracket missing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
