IHC5488 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Do you have any pictures of the inside of the cab. That's going to make a nice tractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Farms Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Cab was probably added. Door decals dont match 786 tri stripe decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkron Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I agree with Long Farms on this one - the cab door decal does not match the hood; the paint on the cab looks brighter than the hood paint also... are those 34 inch rear tires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exSW Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Good that you could find a nice one. Last 786 I looked at was whipped and way overpriced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ky966boy Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 She’s coming along got some touch up to do on paint , decals and stickers ordered. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The New Number One Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 it's stunning how much difference decals make to the appearance. "Plain Jane" now, but with your new decals she'll look brand new! Nice work you've done so far! TNNO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledgehammer Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 That should look really nice when you get done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ky966boy Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 It’s best viewed from 20 foot but it will be fine for a working tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ky966boy Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 I got the chassis set of decals to I think they really help. I’ve got a 20 inch light bar ordered can’t decide whether to put it on cab or in front some where . I’m fairly night blind and need a lot of light.I found second picture in an old post I like the way the lights are set up on it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
