Oh man does that bring back memory's, We had a 1046 with a comfort 2000 cab, we got 6000 hours on her as our main tractor on our grain farm in wales, we got it used with 5000 on. I'm kinda sad we didn't bring that old girl to Canada with us. I spent many hours driving 955, 956, and a the odd day a 1255 working for a silage contractor to, they all had really good syncro transmissions you could fly on the changes with . Your buddy's doing a good job, but the only IH like that to have a straight pipe should be a turbo !!!!!!!. Those original IH bullet exhausts whistle sounds way better when it's working hard than that straight pipe bark ever will. Those tractors and the big Ford six's like Georges are the only thing I'll drive without a radio, you can just listen to them sing all day. The strange thing is a Bepco type repro exhaust looks identical to the original but it don't whistle !, I got a new one here in the shed from my days in Wales i tried on the 46. When the guy I worked for changed the exhaust on his 1255 for a chrome pipe I got the old exhaust for our 1046. it fitted the manifold with a shim to tighten it a bit and has a bigger flow through it, that tractor went like a sexually interfered with ape as it freed up some extra power and it kept the whistle. See there are other good tractors out there than green ones L.O.L . Thanks for sharing Take care.

This tractor always smoked and felt asthmatic compared to it's stablemate 185 which did all the ploughing and heavy cultivation at that end of the farm. When the 168 driver retired dad took on the 168 and after a few weeks it didn't smoke any more!

Forgive my ignorance but how does that work? There's a club/group /bunch of mates that have some tractors and arable equipment and they know someone who has some land that needs cultivation and so they give up a Saturday or Sunday to essentially go contracting for free? Or is it more of a communal enterprise where everyone goes to everyone else's farm and does a bit in a many hands making light work kinda thing? Just not something we woolly maggot taxi farmers really seem to indulge in round here.

Lord Muck, why do farmers on your side of the pond tend to back up at every end to turn around instead of circling or laying of lands? It seems a terrible waste of time and hard on clutch and transmissions. I’d like to know.
@LordMuck
4 жыл бұрын
Turning at the ends rather than going round in lands is so much more efficient - many many studies have shown this. The travelling round to set in using the lands system is a huge waste of time plus constantly circling creates massive compaction on the headlands. It's no harder on the clutch than any other operation.

Great tractors, the German built models were more expensive over the the English built models of the day but the extra cost was well worth it in the long run. That six cylinder was a good one too and hard to beat by the competitors.
Thanks LM, for 95 HP it's pulling all those Vibraflex shanks well, ...... they can take some pulling and that's not light land either. Well done to Paul on the repair and restoration work.

What a brilliant,beefy exhaust sound.The sound of power.
That's a lovely classic tractor they always should be working in the fields and on the road they don't deserve to be in a barn doing nothing
Proper tractor, Sounds loads better for having the straight pipe than the original exhaust. Surprising how the XL cab hasn't really aged though. Look at the vision down to the front wheels.

Cut my teeth on one of these, still have it on our farm, she's a bit rough looking now though. Has a great turbo whistle and I love the transmition whine. Always rember pulling a set of Cambridge rolls up a steep hill in too higher gear chucking out more smoke than a traction engine. Was too scared to drop a gear incase I couldn't get her to pull on 😂

Forgive my ignorance but how does that work? There's a club/group /bunch of mates that have some tractors and arable equipment and they know someone who has some land that needs cultivation and so they give up a Saturday or Sunday to essentially go contracting for free? Or is it more of a communal enterprise where everyone goes to everyone else's farm and does a bit in a many hands making light work kinda thing? Just not something we woolly maggot taxi farmers really seem to indulge in round here.

Lord Muck, why do farmers on your side of the pond tend to back up at every end to turn around instead of circling or laying of lands? It seems a terrible waste of time and hard on clutch and transmissions. I’d like to know.
@LordMuck
4 жыл бұрын
Turning at the ends rather than going round in lands is so much more efficient - many many studies have shown this. The travelling round to set in using the lands system is a huge waste of time plus constantly circling creates massive compaction on the headlands. It's no harder on the clutch than any other operation.
In the lower revs it kind of sounds like a Dodge Challenger srt hellcat
That is exactly how we had to drive,, people with sat navs

Poor girl was exhausted by time she was retired and last time saw her she was pulling header trailer and was used on the blower. Thanks old lady for being my first allocated Tractor. I didn't care what she was or how old she was she was mine and I treated her better then I did my girlfriend at the time lol?
