IHC5488 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Black stripes are available, comes in 3 separate pieces, chrome strips are available, takes 2, IH plastic logos are available for bottom cab corners but I don't install them using the factory method, just 2 sided tape or Velcro so they can be removed for transport or such. The white cab or black if you choose is available, white is just is hard to get since it needs to 3/4" wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafarm49 Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 I was thinking, since its outside most of the time just painting the black but I would like it to look nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TP from Central PA Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I painted mine black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitty Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I painted the 1586 black there that we had that was rough when we got it. I then painted over it with the tar coated type of roofing paint. The textured surface hid many defects . It was a working tractor that we bought in '96 and put 20+k hours on before selling it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Prime it, then rattle can spray on bed liner? I use those $12 cans a lot on black colored stuff that needs some flaws or defects hidden. It holds up very well on truck plow fames, hitches, etc. Light texture it has.

TractormanMike.mb Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 What causes that spot to rot out? The farm I was on had half a dozen tractors with those cabs throughout the years and I don't recall ever seeing one that was in that rough of shape in that spot. These tractors saw manure and road salt in the winter and spent the majority of their life outside. The 1086 had holes rotted through both fenders and the usual spot on the door but not the back lower corner of the cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHKeith Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 There’s a 1086 at my Dad’s shop now, the underside of the fenders is mint, like no rust at any of the seams of the under structure, rotted out at the bottom of the white back post like the picture in the original post, moisture must gather there in some situations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kirsch Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Water gets in, runs to the lowest spot, can't get out. My 1586's cab is like that, but since the water can now exit it won't get any worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHC5488 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 When you guys paint the black stripes on the cab, do you fill in the seams at the top edge where the 2 cab pieces are welded together? Or just paint? On some of them I have filled in and then applied the decal to make a smoother surface. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Missouri mule, how do you like that Massey baler? We need to upgrade some day from our Vermeer XL. Everyone around here either has green or yellow. Just curious because I’m not prejudice against anything if it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious because I’m not prejudice against anything if it works We run 2 and my bil runs 2 as well. We have had some net wrap actuator trouble that mostly turned out to be battery voltage issues. They are a simple Baler. I absolutely love the fully auto feature. If you have never tried it you should demo one. All you do is stop the tractor and dump the clutch when it beeps. With all it's own hydraulics built in it keeps your tractors out of the loop and all works smoother because of it. I've ran new holland, john deere, vermeer, hesston. It doesn't like tough hay. It eats silage over 40% without a kit, but tough hay will give some trouble starting a bale at times. It will plug augers on pickup. I finally figured out to not go slow starting a bale just let it eat and it helps push it up in the chamber better. All in all I'll buy another one.

If any one wants to order it, call them at 1-800-659-2459. I purchased 12 feet of the trim, which I think is just enough for the area you asking about. I forget how many feet the front takes.

A neighbor has a new one that he traded a almost new roll belt 560 in for and does his share of bragging on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
