06 Series Wheatland Question

[IHRedDrive]

Looking at purchasing an 806 wheatland. The tractor is missing both sides of the circled shield. What are these called? Were they an option or standard? Pic is for informational purposes. Thanks

I think they are referred to as mud shields. They are a bit hard to find, as the most common cabs for those tractors would be in the way. Therefore when the cab comes off, there is a gap where that shield should be. Personally I’m not worried either way, but it’s a detail if you’re doing one up fancy.

They’ve always looked like a tripping hazard to me.  Not required for a working tractor, I wouldn’t think 

Likely near impossible to find

I've always heard to them referred to as dust shields. I am pretty sure they were standard equipment.  Like has been already stated: They were taken off when cabs were installed and they definitely are a tripping hazard if you aren't paying attention!

Thanks, and the cab factor makes sense.

They are kind of a hazard if not fully paying attention! I have them on the 706 wheatland I have, and I’ve caught a foot on them a time or 2.  Honestly I’m not sure why they decided the std/wheatland tractors needed them and not the row crop tractors? There is a guy in Wisconsin that reproduces those shields, and may even have some originals in his inventory?

That's a good question. Seems like guys took them off to avoid getting caught on them. That said would be good to know if they're still available. Do you know the name of the guy in Wisconsin?

Round here we called them 'full coverage fenders'.  No new tractors that I know of had them here.  Some came in from other areas.  

First tractor I remember with 'full coverage fenders' was a 1066.

Like this except it had a 3pt and pto.

66 series looks good with those. Two ways to get on, side and back.

Tony Govin is his name and he has an add in Red Power magazine. He likes wheatland tractors.

Dust shields.  Most Wheatland-style tractors in the 60s had them.  Discing & plowing in August for fall Wheat sowing in OK, KS, CO they were a huge help.  Tony is the man - great dude - (715) 308-3001 - talk to him about flying the B-2 Stealth Bomber out of Whiteman & you might get a good deal - already a bargain to work with!
