Long Farms Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 Picked up a nice cab this weekend for the 1456. Have a good front axle traded for coming from IA in a few weeks. Slow progress but its coming together. Lots of projects to work on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool1566 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Glad to hear you have lots of projects to work on! One of the highlights of my day is to see what kind of magic you have performed on those old girls! Keep up the good work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Farms Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 Added a set of factory breakaway Hyd lines. If anyone has a set they'd part with send me a PM. Pulled range top plate cover, both detents and springs gone. Reverse shaft snagged and pulled out. Spent 15min looking for moon key with magnet in hyd oil. Turns out it was laying on a gear tooth. Noticed that '71 1456 diamond cabs have slightly different platform. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nepoweshiekfarmalls Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Wow! That is narrow.......? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkron Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 X2 - that is narrow! Is this a special order "narrow" wide front axle for running on cotton beds etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Farms Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Modified to run front wheels on top of wide rows instead of in between. This way fronts wouldnt pack wet ground infront of bedder bottoms and make cloddy rows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Farms Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 I don't know anything about the 766 other than it sits in Pella IA. I never saw it just got the front axle that came off if it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-C-IL Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I have to ask does that super short axle affect the steering cut at all? I've never seen on of those before. Pretty wild looking--especially that you could get "extenders" to add to it. That had to be a weak point. Did they discontinue it by the 66 series?

Cool1566 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Looks like a good axle for pulling a sled down a dirt track! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rear brace looks like it is bent in narrower even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Farms Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 Rebuilt the good front axle, added 11.00-16 on 16x10 rims, narrowed in the rear wheels, added dual hubs, added a good set of 3pt screw housings, rebuilt hyd seat valve. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
