Thanks 👍

They are old and small by today's standards but will handle my acreage for years to come.

@@AnglesideFarm Thanks Steve, it has a few hours on it but they have kept up the maintenance.

@micahsattler1268 5600 hours on it but they have been keeping up on maintenence

@@truthandfreedom885 There was a couple of 105s around here back in the day, one brother had a 95. They were simple and dependable, his had a spike cylinder, not ideal for corn.

@frede5656 Dad farmed 2000 acres in the 70's and we started combining barley in mid July and we were usually still combining sunflowers in November. I was 9 years old when I started running a combine. I got an 8 track player in the combine and went up and down fields all day long listening to Head East, Steve Miller, Triumph, Nazareth and other great 70's bands. Great memories

@@michigandon l had heard of these as well, but this is my first caught in the wild.

This one was online, l probably was bidding in my underwear, l don't remember! Lol 😆

@@RandyHuck l have seen that done, passed up a good 643 real close to home, regretting that now.

2470

The price was right.

@@richardjohnson5883 Thanks, l think it's a good one.

@@craignepp524 l talked to the last owner when l picked it up, he just had the Case-IH dealer put o rings on the sleeves and they rolled rod and main bearings in at that time. It would have been a good time time to do sleeves and pistons as well but he chose not to. Considering my plans for light duty use l should be alright for many years to come. I am aware of the price of repairing that Robert Bosch injector pump versus the American Bosch on the 400 series (l own seven), given all this l am still happy with my purchase.

We have had both in the family, for the first year or so we had trouble starting the 756 diesel, but after we discovered the 'start' position on the fuel shut-off, it started much better. If you pull the shutoff half-way it increases the fuel pressure, the same is true of my 826 with the 358 German engine. We remind new operators to 'choke' it to start.

My brother has one, but you knew that, lol!

@@frede5656 Yes but if you keep adding to the fleet, I’m going to have to stop over and reevaluate your inventory lol

You guessed it.

I use a 144 hole drum to plant soybeans and a 36 hole drum for corn. You would have to speed the gearing up on the 36 up to achieve the population for soybeans, but it is possible. International also had a 72 hole drum, l used to plant navy beans with that. I hope that helps.

@@frede5656 Thank you very much for your help! Maybe you don't know a store where I can buy soy drums? It would be important to deliver to Hungary as well. Unfortunately, you can't get a 400 cyclo soy drum with us, we only have sunflower and corn drums.

Mio, Michigan

I am very satisfied so far.

I took a fellow County man's advice, "its a farm dozer now, put the cheapest stuff on it you can find and you still will not wear it out again."

It is but l added a one inch Ingersoll for the heavy truck work.

I doubt it opens quite that far, l will measure it next time l use it.

I usually open up the fields by making 6 rounds and baling that for silage bales. When l come back l can cut back and forth without lifting the head, this makes for the fastest turn l have found.

The engine parts are hard to find and very expensive when you find them, even without the added problems caused by the fire. You can see the cylinder head was off already, he was working on finding a replacement for a cracked sleeve.

@@frede5656 I'm involved in the industry, a good starting point would be the STEINERS Catalog.

@@Snuffaluffagis. And, a second choice is Allstates Ag Parts. Also know as ASAP. Fergieman

When my brother was gathering the parts for Dad's SMDTA he had to wait for the one company that still makes the engine bearings to run a production batch, there was no old stock to be found. In all he was a year finding sleeves, pistons, rod and main bearings as well as the complete gasket set. I may do a video on that tractor, there seems to be some interest in these dinosaurs.

I see plenty of people telling you where you can find parts which is true , BUT the part they seem to be ignoring is that you HAVE TO HAVE $ MONEY $ to be able to buy the parts with . With the fire destroying the building I'm guessing the owner has more important things to spend his remaining money on besides a show tractor that will see very little if any field work once it's restored if he decides to still restore it sometime in the future .

You know the history on this one too!

Good day from Ontario So r u sayin if pistons weren't steel they would to have been changed? Thanks

@@donvoll2580 well most likely but the crank case was still full of oil so maybe not at the time I didnt know that they were steel because that when I bought it was in mint condition I started working right away and it run very good then the barn caught fire I thought it was no more than scrap metal until I started taking it apart maybe this thing can be saved and sure enough it is

@@buckshot8176 Well that is good Thx

My neighbor had a shed fire. He saved every one of his antique tractors. It just takes deep pockets because the insurance company will never pay enough to bring it back.

@@hturbo1007 you are absolutely right on that

It is not for sale. It belongs to a good mechanic friend of mine, l have a straight super md for parts and we have talked of a 400 diesel donor. It will run again in some form, but maybe not 100% historically accurate!

Retirement project, lol!
