Long Farms Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 14th 1456 built. Sold new in Montevideo MN. Old original IH Sales and Service decal oh hood was repainted over but i can make out Montevideo Minn on it. Must have been traded back in in late 80s/early 90s, repainted and badged Boerboom Case IH. From then it made its way from MN to Fredricksburg TX in early 90s. Old timer ran it for few years and then sold it to the guys late father who i bought it from. Best i can put together is this 1456 was ordered factory fender delete with only 1 hyd. Aftermarket cab was probably added at the dealership when new. Cabbed was then ditched when it was traded in and fenders went on for repaint. Sad part is i bet it didnt need paint then. 2nd hyd was added on later and the factory 56 series LH block was ripped off or someone wanted updated 66 series hyd block and the 2nd hyd lines were rigged on in a sloppy manner. It still starts by key switch and starter button. Even safety starter switch still hook up to clutch pedal. Guy said it had starter button problems but it was the safety switched being out. Jumper wire and she cranks fine. The front axle is one if the worst worn out ive ever seen. 3pt and shifters are tight as can be. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takn4aFool Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 i like the strap-on seat and painted axles (sarcasm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
234-IA Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Even the Hereford is interested in a 1456. This one seems pretty stripped down in general, what with single hydraulics and no tilt wheel or hyd seat. I suppose going with an aftermarket cab from the jump meant a considerable price savings too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axial-flow Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Interesting history on this tractor and it looks like it was taken care of by the previous owners over the years . Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I haven’t been here forever, but I think that’s the cleanest/running/driving one that I’ve seen you save. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Farms Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share Posted August 15, 2022 The 1456 w/cab and belly tank from MT is the cleanest most original one i have. I put 24.5r32 Firestones on it, new wiring and a radio. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redturbo Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Do you use oem or jobber parts for the front axle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Farms Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 Both. pivot pin: bought A&I $80 vs CIH $200. And A&I spindle bushing kit. CIH is only source for pivot pin bushings $50+ ea. Every aftermarket spindle sucks so i try a gather as many oem used ones i can. CIH original steering arms are $500 for one side and $380 for the other.

from H to 80 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Other than the front end being worn out, the old girl looks too be in pretty good shape.I know from experience that discing plowed ground is as hard on the front end as it is on the driver.

stronger800 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Very nice. And they were way in there too. How many inches of thread engagement are inside of one? I’ve never unthreaded one all the way out to look inside. Will they even thread all the way out? Or do they have a stopper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHhogfarmer Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Wow sir, another great save! I really like the 856 narrow front you’ve been showing on FB too. I’m in Canyon, TX right now for school 6hrs 15 mins from you, it would be cool to see your collection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
