Update on new diesel tractors w/ pics!

Here are some pics of the diesel tractors that I mentioned here last night. These 2 tractors really get me excited. I'm thinking 1st crop hay is gonna get cut at 6" due to me wanting to use these!! I'm curious to hear all your thoughts on these tractors.
This is my first time posting pics, hope it works!!

That IH 756 is just about bullet proof. The old cab will make a good sun shade but you will hate it for getting on and off of it. If your an older fellow like I am I would put a step kit on that rather than the narrow little steps. Wet feet and those narrow steps make for slipping off and falling issues.

That is a nice loader on the IH 460. There where not too many IH 460s around me here. There where a lot of IH 560s. Always liked how smooth the IH engines ran.
 
The loader on the 460 is sold, I've got a rockbox that I'm gonna put on the front of it. This will be my hay cutting and raking tractor.

As for the 756, I don't like the cab at all. Once I find a set of flat top fenders, that cab will be gone. I have also thought about making a ROPS for it then using the lid of the cab as a canopy. Just a thought, not sure if it will actually happen or not. My concern about the 756 is that the rear end hangs a bit low. I may have to make a skidplate for it to be sure the windrow of hay doesn't hangup at the rear end. I double up my windrows so they can get a bit high. I had this happen with my 706 last year, I didn't see it until the PTO caught the big wad of hay and wiped out all my hydraulic hoses and wiring going to the baler.
 
Im not a IH guy either but our neigbors always had 460s and 560s and i always liked the looks of them and once in awhile i would get to drive them. One of the things i remember is that the 460 was a cold blooded machine when it came to starting nice picture, enjoy spring if you have it we are still wintery here
