other dog Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Bulldog man my brother had an 856 IH,but sold it and A White 2-85 and bought A John Deere to replace the two.Worst part though is he used to have A 350 Farmall and sold it for $800,because he didn't need it and rarely used it.I mean A nice tractor,not A rusty pile of junk.I told him 'I'd have given you $800 for it !" He said "for what,you don't have enough room to turn it around".I said "I know,but I'd still have given you $800 for it!"...I still think about that tractor-if I had that I could drive it in the parade,and if the mixer broke down I could tow it with the tractor,or vice versa!

What does the black stripe mean? Are they different than the ones with the white stripe on the hood? Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

bulldog man Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 Other dog : sorry it took me a while to reply i just hadnt noticed the new replys latley in this topic AS for the blackstripe was on the last year of the 66 series (1976) & alot of folks look for em to this day & i couldnt tell much difference if any my self but when ya hear bout em talk bout a blackstripe most of the time its refering to a 76' model of 66 series I.H. Farm tractors id like to have another one myself Later aka bulldog Quote You Cant Fix Stupid. But You Can Numb It With A Sledgehammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 BullDogMan, Thank You for post this site. Last year ( fall 2007 ) I bought my frist farm tractor International H for $1,500. I was also given a '66 ? International Harvester Scout I think of restoring.I have a 64,65,or 66 scout half cab you can have if you want to move it-the man I bought it from took the distributor out of it,it was running before that.I had another '66 I was gonna fix,but that was right before my wife got sick,and it's been sitting at H.H.Moore trucking about 4 years now. They were sold to P.G.T. recently,and Larry Moore told me I needed to move it,and I was thinking of selling it for scrap of course,but i'd rather see somebody get some use out of it,and as far as I know the front end,rear end and transfer case are fine,the engine (152 cu.in. 4 cyl,half a 304) should be OK,and the body wasn't too bad either-it's just been setting for a long time now.
