CIHTECH Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Awesome pictures!!! I was kinda hoping early on to make it out there this year. However I find that there is almost more on my plate than I can handle right now. Getting new fuel shop on it's feet and starting 2 new employees Now planning on 2025......... Thanks, to those contributing the pictures for those of us who aren't going to make the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner needs to be brave and open that rear end up and take some pictures to add to his display. It would be interesting to learn if it truly is similar to how the 706/806s are set up and actually was the pre-cursor to their development. Too bad the PTO broke, even having it there on a table for people to look at would be interesting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Dinan Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I think that green quad was a special offer from the factory. Have seen pictures of several new ones painted green. I drove past a new one a few months ago painted red with IH white wheels and rooftop and hood. Didn’t get a picture and it was dark when I went past it the second time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder how badly it could be broken, it was made in a machine shop obviously , seems logical it could be repaired likewise, obviously saving all the original parts, if for display and reference only. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebraska1206 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 What's the story on that one Allis tractor, looks like a swelled-up D19? Is it a D21 with custom sheetmetal to look like a D19's big brother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe? They would have 8 speeds, but would not have had a shift on the go option in ‘54 like they did with the TA. That was probably a bigger deal at the time for farmers with heavy tillage. Maybe not in Montana, but elsewhere being able to shift without clutching was a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking maybe they could have avoided some of the rear end issues but who knows. The TA was nice but there was a lot of farmers that got by without a TA up until the 70s when partial shift on the go transmissions became the norm.
