nepoweshiekfarmalls Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Talked to Jim last weekend. He said he bought another 1456 in your "competition " to have the most 14's! ? The tractor looks great. Waiting to see the cab now! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty shackleford Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Is there a difference in the nos ih mufflers and the new replacement ones in the way there built? Or is the ih stamp the only difference? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superman Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Mufflers in question?? The I-H one's stamped maybe or not, are, were, galvanized and stayed that way for ever, or a long time!!$$ The new OEM are painted and start burning the paint away to rust the very first use. that makes me mad. The muffler makes the show tractor ************* Armand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Farms Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Busted out some powder coated seat brackets and swapped them out on a decent but not primo hyd seat. It all goes together well. When it warms up ill clean up the seat more and paint the bottom seat plate black. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool1566 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Where do you find good armrests?! I’d say they are getting pretty rare? I wish someone would make a good copy of the original seats and armrests. It’s one of my sticking points on my list of “must have” parts on a tractor to see a good original hyd seat with original armrests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btred1466 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Can the part inside the Armrest for the Side Plate be made? I need to get my Arm Rests fixed/recovered or find new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Farms Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 It takes 2-3 junk seats to make a decent one. The arm rest brackets look simple but might be pricey to replicate. Most originals are rotten. They were raw metal when factory installed. Picked up a load of aftermarket weights today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty shackleford Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Is that lever to the left of the seat for the pto? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Farms Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Yes, it was a factory cab tractor. Im a way i like them vs open station pto levers. The look throws them off but easier to reach. Open station pto levers and parts are pricey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty shackleford Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I kinda like that style lever better 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepoweshiekfarmalls Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Looking great! I really love the look of the long axles and the dual hubs on that 14. Will you put the emblems on the weights like on the 1026 awhile back? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Farms Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Ill add some weight emblems next week. Those grille emblems make the blank weights tolerable. IH stamp weights have become hard to find and expensive. Need to pick up hardware to hang more rear wheel weights. Still deciding on rear tire choices or if ill have to play tire swap games again. These longbar/short bars might end up on 1026. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btred1466 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Did any of the Tractors you have or had have the Updated Park Lock Kit? Do you find any of them with the bent turnbuckle adjustment from the factory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Farms Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 None of mine have parklock updates. Im on flatground blackland prairie. Most come in with ends bent in a little. Some were froze up from lack of use. This one needs to be replaced. This came from gulf coastal bend and they are flat ground too. They welded the ends up making it nonajustable. Once i have them adjusted right they work fine for me with no issues. Ive already pulled the top cover off and rebuilt bottom end of shifters so i see no need to go back in. I do want to see a tractor with parklock update and tell if i like it or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty shackleford Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 With as many different 1456s you have I think it would be awsome if you had 1 with 23.1 34s with 14l 16s , I like the 18.4s with 11 16s the best but when ya got so many it would just change things up and make it so they dont blend together as much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Farms Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 Big rubber does nothing for me. I pull them off and sell em and send them north. Sold a set of 23.1x34 Firestones mounted on rims and wheel centers for decent $ few years ago. Helps buy new parts and get a project going. I like how 11.00-16 look on 16x10 rims and 11L-15 look on 15x10 rims. Has that deep dish rim look. Variety is nice but Colemans are too expensive to buy into and rebuild. Bigger rubber cost bigger $. Everyone I drag home has junky longbar/shortbars and its hard to find decent 18.4x38s as it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty shackleford Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Ya I know what you mean with cost of tires, I only have 3 diesel ih's and that's hard enough to complete, I got the duals from my 1456 on the hubs of my home made 1206 wheatland cause 23.1 34s are so expensive, got to pic and choose what I want dont cause it isnt getting done all at once 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Farms Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 Rebuilt and installed a clutch assist and found a nice PTO shield. Stripped all the old wiring and dash panels. Ordered all new wire harnesses and electrical components. Rewiring a tractor makes a world of difference. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Farms Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Installed all new wiring. Fuel/temp gauge is iffy. Really dont want to buy aftermarket if i dont have to. Cleaned up engine area. New hyd oil cooler hoses, alt and kevlar fan belt. Nice when they crank like they should and dash lights work. Also installed an IH oil pressure gauge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Farms Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 New tornado maker arrived today. Waiting on a new sleeve to get here. Took a 3LD-229 off, putting a 3LD-279 back on. When i mounted the firestones i went with the 16 clamp option. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
