This was one of my son's favorite toys when he was young. I made him some implements and he played with it till the paint came off. He removed the cab so he could steer it and repainted it at some point. My late wife was a "saver" and I just found it today along with boxes of both kids school art work. No IH around here but it is still pretty neat.

Here is one I found today in my stash, when looking for something else. Back in the 70's I sold a farmer a new Case 1070 and took in a 966. I ended up also making a deal with his son. He traded in this 1586 for a new 1070 toy with duals. We traded even-up.

Must have run a cultivator shovel into rt. front. tire. So had to take one off the disk to finish up. You do what you have to do. 4 acres left, rain in forecast.
 
Can you give more info about those? I looked on utube but dident find much, are they electric, radio controlled ect? I got into rc cars and trucks in the90s but never saw those, I have a team associated rc10, bolink carpet car, Blackfoot truck and a sledge hammer truck, haven't used them in years. I wanted to get into rc boats and planes, but you have to put a limit on hobbys!! Lol
 
These go back to the late 70s.They are powered by a Cox .049 engine. They had a recoil starter and if no recoil starter they made a starter that you held up against flywheel to start it. They made a number of gears to change gear ratios. Once the tractor started to pull you couldn't touch the tractor. To control it you used a stick that could move front end of tractor from side to side but you couldn't press down on front end of tractor while pulling. The basic tractor cost about $135.00. This tractor below is the basic tractor. I bought this one to build up a modified and never got around to it and it has never pulled.
