acem Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 It's ok. It has the d282 but they updated it with an alternator. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedar farm Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 The 1206 copy is not alone. 300/400's painted like 350/450's. John Deere A,B,G,50,60 and 70's with yellow striped hoods like 520/620/720. The only thing the Allis and Oliver guys could do was repaint their tractors with the later corporate orange or silver like a White. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12_Guy Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Lots of F series tractors that, because of their age, should be grey but are painted red. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KY2674 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 The ultimate IH sin,a 1973 black stripe. Pictures from tractor day at school. We like it and besides this is deere country the neighbors don't know the difference between a 706 and a 1586! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kirsch Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 You know what would make that 706 complete? A 756 grille. They fit right in. All you need to do is drill two dimples in the top of the cast shell opening for the spring pins. Last I checked, though, there is no law saying you have to paint your tractor with the exact factory color scheme. Whoever painted that 706 did a faithful job of recreating the 1206 paint scheme on it. I don't see anyone trying to pass that off as a 1206 at an auction. It's pretty obvious that it is not a 1206. The 1066 will someday be passed off as a "rare black stripe" by some auctioneer. It is what it is and it will be up to the buyer to be knowledgeable about what they are getting. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWRB Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 At Canandaigua there was a letter series Farmall painted green. Not just green, but with bought-from-the-dealership JD green paint. It was awesome. I know a few of the two cylinder club guys and intentionally mentioned it to them, just to bristle them up 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redpower1256 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 "Wrong" by factory/originality standards, but a fellow can do as they wish with their own machine. Not my cup of tea but not my tractor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
