Long Farms Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 This one belongs to Butch Aycock in Mckinney Tx. His brother and himself bought this 1456 gold demo and their dad bought a matching red 1456 from Meadors Imp in Whitewright TX. Few unique things about it is, its a factory TA delete, has front mount Aux hyd hook ups and has a narrow front axle center tube. Jims is the only other 1456 gold demo factory TA delete i know of. The motor is currently being overhauled by boardmember Eric Farley. Farley use to work at Meadors Imp back in the late 70s and 80s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redneckchevy9 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 ANOTHER ONE? Thanks for the post & pictures - can't wait to see both of them all gold again. Which was more desirable a Bosch or Roosa Master? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyinca Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 You three guys get your 14 Gold's done You'll be the 1456 Gold capital. Will need to do a show out there. I think Jim has enough I.H.'s to warrant the price of admission for a three day show. Hope to see them all done. Best wishes, Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMiller Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I watched a report on these demonstrators, and they said that while the tractors were supposed to be repainted, they never repainted them under the hood. So, if you look under the hood and it's painted gold, you got one!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INTERNATIONAL 1466 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Lots of phonies out there too. I think we have more gold 1456`s now than ever were built. There was only what 5500 or so 1456`s total? I could be wrong on the goldies, but really no proof once they are painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaFarmall Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Is there serialization to the goldens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMOKER 1 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Is there serialization to the goldens?No. None that was ever found yet. There is still a lot of IH history at the University of Wisconsin in Madison at the IH archives that has never been sorted through. Just maybe that serialization might be in there somewhere. Who knows?????Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Farms Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 I do know that S/N 13313 and 13314 are consecutive gold demos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaFarmall Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Man that would be nice to know, something like every 50th one would be a demo.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaFarmall Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 What colour where the inside of the blocks usually coloured? I tore a 1456 apart once and the inside of the engine block was yellow. Is this common? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepoweshiekfarmalls Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 The yellow appearance is primer. Common under red paint. Sometimes it is red oxide instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaFarmall Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I see I see. I figured they would not have painted the inside of the block golden anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1456Gold Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Hello guys, new member here. My dad, brother and I attended the Mecum auction this weekend in Davenport, IA. Anyway, we came home with 1456 Gold Demonstrator #13314. Does anyone here have any details or documentation of its restoration and history? Thank you Jason - 1456Gold 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ole 815 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Welcome to forum!. I would get in touch with Long Farms. He mentioned back in 2016 in this thread he knew about your new purchase,# 13314 Gold 1456 that it was a Goldie. I ll have to watch Mecum on RFD. Maybe we will see you buying it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1456Gold Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Thank you. The closest it got to being on the broadcast is the following picture of it entering the door. But at the 3 hr 20min mark you can see it sell here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
