CAUTION! Enter At Yer Own Risk

One 1974 IH Hydro 70 tractor, rebuilt bumper to bumper with an easy $6K and one year of hard labor invested. Runs and operates perfectly in every way.

Will trade for an old IH 656, 666 or 686 DIESEL GEAR DRIVE. Looks not important. Must be field ready.

WARNING: Bring your own fuel tanker and funnel fer the gasser. :>)

Could ya throw in whatever is left over of your supply of those 72 virgins too?

Don't know what I'd do with them either, but they darned sure ought to market a little better than this silly old tractor. :>)

It's pretty tempting, but I'm a cheap person by nature of growing up on a farm... probably keep chugging away in my little Honda.

From your posts you seem to like the rest of the tractor, especially the hydro. Have you thought about swapping the gas motor for a diesel? If I remember right that motor fit other tractors and a combine or two, so you should be able to sell it to offset the cost of the other engine.

Just a thought

John

Oh, heck yeah. I love that darned tractor.

The only thing that sticks in my craw is the gas engine. Trouble is, I'm standin' awfully close to the cliff with the amount of money invested to date.

I'm startin' to feel kinda like the high school prom queen who had too much fun at the party. Think my tractor reputation is being compromised by this darned gasser! :>)

Allan

Ya know, if we were a little closer and it came with a loader, I mihgt be interested. OUr Massey 165 needs some major work done to it, but as long as it's got the loader and it runs good I'll just have to keep on going...

There are other Makes of Tractors than International+Farmalls???

I have the greatest respect for you guys that can still make it work. My hat is off to ya!

This little operation is just a "play thing" for me and these old tractors are just toys in the sand.

I just picked the wrong darned toy, is all. Oh well, so it goes. :>)

Allan

Yeah it gets to be a challenge some times... My parents and I all work off the farm, and my dad and I tend to the feild work on the weekends.

This year the weather cooperated for the most part with hay, and it stayed dry long enough to fill one silo with corn on Sunday. My dad says IH's made great blower tractors too....

Next summer I'll be done with school so I'll be able to do a few things in the morning before I gotta go to work, and it'll be quite a bit easier to get stuff done.

Donovan from Wisconsin

You yank my heart out when you post pictures of that old machine. What a great piece of machinery they are!

Allan

I've got a few in the tractor photos, it's always hooked on something.....

Maybe this weekend I can get my girlfriend to take a few action shots..

I predict you'd just park the darned old thing like I did. :>)

I just cannot get used to the way these things drink the fuel. But, I'm not a collector either; just like to play in the dirt. I never should have bought it, just didn’t know they were this thirsty.

If nobody wants it, I'm going to strap that F-10 loader on it and let 'er set for the rest of her days. :>)

Allan

Live and learn, as they say.

It is a "fun" little tractor and I really like using it.

But, I just cannot get by my "diesel tractor mentality" thing and get mad when I have to run 'er to the barrel. Been on the diesels too many years, I guess. :>)

Allan

Hey Cowman, Does your woodstove have a flat top? I may have something for you.

Yes, it is all a question of use.

If I were located closer to you, I'd be parkin' this thing in your hanger; you could use it 'cause I have absolutely no need for it.

I need something that will move dirt and I just don't give a fig what it looks like either.

Dunno, maybe I should peddle this one on ebay, then jump in the truck and run down to Wellfleet and see if I could beg that 666 off of Howard. THat's the type of tractor my uses call for; a "dirt" type tractor. :>)

My "other" mistake was not grabbin' that 966 of yours two years ago. Don't know what the heck I was thinkin' back then! :>(

Allan

We both need to get to Wellfleet. Something about a 666 tractor just kinda gives me the willies though. I have enough strikes again me to push my luck any more.

I have sure been enjoying watching you farm.

Anybody wanna play musical tractors?

Let's see, that one could come up this direction, mine could end up in Iowa and..... .. Well, I ain't got the rest of it figured out just yet, but I'm workin' on it. :>)

Don't know which looks the best, that devil tractor or your red cows!

Allan

Allan;

Just put a good loader on it and keep it. Use the H just for bushoggin around the place.

Be careful and have fun. steveormary

Hey you guys, ifn yer gonna start movin stuff around, I got a sweet little 7 that likes going for rides. It came all the way from Minni sota down here to the Ozarks just to be a hay tractor. Ain"t got a 5 gallon of black dirt on the whole place here. The only thing that keeps the big rocks from rolling down the hills are the itty bitty rocks.

Allan,you were burnig what??!! 2.5 gal/hr at half throttle and not much load? Sounds like plenty of fuel. But you better keeo it.

steveormary

Pulling a hay rake, it "might" go two days, but I sure wouldn't wanna bet on it. :>(
