Red Power!

[Macman125]

Thanks for the vid, Jeff.

I remember the day my uncle traded his 560 in on a new to him 1206 - thought he had made the big time back then, cab and duals.

Thirty some years later, I'm still wanting a cab tractor - but I know better than to want one of those noisy rattling POS year-a-rounds that seemed like the best thing since sliced bread way back when.

I have 560 diesel that I am inheriting off of my grandfather. Him and I spen a lot of time when I was a little kid restoring the thing. Spent a lot of time bushogging with it growing up also. Never fails to start. Even in the winter as long as the block heater is plugged in.

nice thing about a D282 is that they gave you a glow plug guage to watch for fun while your thumb was getting sore from holding the button, which is probably better than "Why won't this Maytag from hell start?"

I make these old girls work

Don't like sparks flying across the billhooks like with Deere or New Holland, makes a cuter knot too.

Had a Deere tech I used to work with out once while I was doing chores gonna show me how to drop a bale and break it, ah Jim these are IH bales, we need to get a jack knife out.

To this day my father swears the most wicked setup is a fine tuned IH 46 baler with a live power DC Case with it's oil clutch

560 is the same way. It lies.

I built a 282 that will start a hour later without glowplugs

 

[Marco]

now you gotta figure 706/806.... 3010/4010 came out about te same time, before that these damn glow plugs vs lets go chase a flywheel into the woods.

Alright, got a question about red power here... any and all may answer honestly in regards to excellence/problems or both on this tractor.

How good is the International 404?

Not sure how different it is than the 504 but we've had two and they are great tractors for there age. We had a high crop and a utility with a loader. Both were gas. I've also run a 444 and they are good tractors too. I don't see why the 404 would be any different??

 

[Marco]

404 should use common ignition parts, some of the later utilities used spendy English Lucas stuff. I think on the English ones you had to pull bull gears to get brake seals in:msp_scared: 404 is more or less a brought forward C/340

Seeing how it is Friday, I was thinking I would post the tuffest Binder.... ever

Unlike you cash croppers sucking on government tit, I need the ether to make my 806 go.

Love that stout bottom end when she idles at 5psi with 15w-50, you can't kill what can't be killed.

Larry the Leprochaun once told me you keep good rods and mains in them and they will run forevere.
