Sledgehammer Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 I will go ahead and start this. I know @Brady Boy has a few on already. Anyone feel free to add to this with pictures or commentary from the show. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledgehammer Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 We had to find a towel for my buddy since we left in a hurry this afternoon. Off to Wally World. Who did we come across? It’s Mr IH Gear himself. I took this picture and sent it to him. We found them inside. I will say that you won’t find a more stand up guy. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledgehammer Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 Forecast for Rantoul says high of 98° today. Add about 238% humidity 😊 and things will be a little sticky. Everyone be careful out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudfly Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 @Sledgehammer What is this one? Too small to be a 4 series and appears to have an A,B,C, sized engine. W, O or I 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHhogfarmer Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 I wish I was there!! Hopefully the next one. I’ve always thought it would be an awesome show to attend. Thank you for the pictures! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look the correct size for a Shop Mule. I'm wondering if someone put Farmall A/B sheet metal on one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if someone put Farmall A/B sheet metal on one. That’s why I had put custom built to. After looking at it I realized it does look slightly different cosmetically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac I think that this is the fist incarnation of what would become the 806 transmission. @Drysleeves Mentioned it a while ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drysleeves Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 The first time I ever saw evidence of one was in RP many years ago. It was purported to have been built in 1950 like the one pictured at Rantoul. Would have to go digging through the archives to locate it but I suppose that's a good project for a 98 degree day since the aforementioned archives are in my basement.
