Red River North Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 This 1456 at auction in Manitoba today doesn't look like anything special, but it brought 26,900 CAD, about 20,800 USD https://www.apro.bid/auction/5206/item/1970-international-farmall-1456-diesel-tractor-rear-tires-are-cracked-badly-tin-is-good-5401000-pto-has-been-sheltered-985066 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnightman Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I was watching a few things in that auction. Didn’t buy anything, definitely not a 1456 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick G. Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Must have had a cab at some point in its life. Notice no grab handles around the gear shift levers or the T. A. lever, and also the cab style PTO engagement lever. Must be fun boarding that thing without those grab handles. I always reached for that grab handle around the gear shift levers or T. A. lever when boarding my open station ‘56 or ‘66 series IHs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 With the bad rims and tires, that’s enough I’d say. Sure looks nice otherwise. Other than that plate welded to the fender(s)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably nobody should be allowed to have tools as everyone has done something objectionable to a piece of equipment at some point in their lives. Axle cutting, you might not like it but it's usually a necessary evil. Wipe out enough doorways, you'd get the gas axe out too. Sometimes you just don't have the luxury of a 16' wide opening or you need to get up close to a wall for loader work. That's why the previous owner of Dad's 656 cut the axles. He at least tried to grind them smooth and make them look presentable. The axles on the 756 stick out a couple inches and Dad got hung up in the pen more than a couple of times because of it. Give 'er a little "scooch" to flip the manure into the bucket, tractor slides sideways, and now you're stuck behind the pole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Fan Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I won't condemn the guy that cut the axles, he could have de-burred them a bit though. P.O. cut the axles on my 856, wish he would have left them a little longer, room for a dual hub would be great. It may get a set from a donor at some point in the future. Price seems plenty high to me but not totally out of line in today's market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're well before my time, but I'd say from the 56 series on cabs were pretty standard up here. Just going on my observations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of them were aftermarket, but cabs were the norm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacka Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I thought the heat from torches would damage or take the strength out of the axle. But maybe I am wrong.I shortened a 1135 Massey axles once for a guy that didn't want to pay fora permit.I had to travel through 3 states to deliver it plus I over the notorious scales south of Winchester ,VA on 81.I used a chop saw and they came out nice.If you wanted them to look real decent, I think you could have beveled the edges some.

jimw Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 All the 06 and 56 series cab tractors I sat in had the grab handles. I think they were robbed at some point in its life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were robbed at some point in its life Hard to figure. One of my two 1970 1456s I used to own had the Diamond cab on it. It did not have the grab handles around the gear shift levers or the T. A. lever. But back when I was in high school the farmer I worked for bought a brand new 966 with the Diamond cab on it. I was with him at the dealer when he bought it on the lot. It did have the grab handles on both sides even though it came with a cab.

Long Farms Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 The "nothing special" is a Gold Demo 1456, factory open station with 24.5x32s. Someone got a great buy on that 1456. Buyers were asleep on that one. Im sure itll pop up repainted within a year or 2. Be interesting to see if it keeps the 24.5x32s or if they sell them off. Very sought after wheel and tire combo. Seller never knew what he really had. Bet he lost out on $15-20k by not knowing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepoweshiekfarmalls Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Has anyone ever seen a park lock lever like this one? The handle end looks different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they ran into them too often. Or in our case widened the shed door unplanned like we did with a 1466 and a new shed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db1486 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 It was gone when I went to pick my stuff up so never got a chance to check it out. And I never even thought to ask where it went to 🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
