I'm farming my grandpa's land next year, and I am looking for a decent 826. We have one in the weeds but she's gone to the weather and I'd like to find another or something similar

I don't know what your budget is, or your location, but there are a couple in WI that I've seen, including one on FB marketplace that was misidentified as a 756.

Hello Chris, what size or cylinder length does that mower use? I have one sitting in the barn missing the cylinder.

I wish I could tell you. It was borrowed, but had a generic black hyd cylinder

In our area in Southwestern Ontario we have lots of 856 is but I never ever saw a 826 didn't know the existed and I thought I knew everything when I was younger LOL my dad bought a new 756 in 1968 that was a great tractor, however I never had pedal tractor when I was a kid and I was born in 1959 however in 2005 my parents actually gave me 826 gold demonstrator wide front end International pedal tractor, they said I never had one when I was a kid that was time LOL they got one that wasn't assembled because they weren't sure if I wanted a white front end or a narrow front end 806, my father passed away in January of 2006 so on Christmas Eve of 2006 my mother and I assembled it in the living room, both my parents are gone now and I'm 65 and I'm looking at that beautiful tractor in my Recreation room reliving memories , just watching your video brought back so many memories of the hours I spent looking out over the hood thank you and I love both your tractors!

Not too shabby! Cutting grass isn't easy with a sickle bar mower, you have to have ledger plates that are not rounded over on your rock guards, and of course the sickle sections need to be sharp as well, cutting alfalfa is easy, grass is not.!

@robertlong7033 4 ай бұрын

Didn't seem to do too bad. be glad it wasn't a NH 451 3 point mower. Total junk. Overjoyed when the old man finally got rid of it.

@chrisstevens3531 4 ай бұрын

I won't lie to you, that was the best pass of the day in the video. The grass was just too tall and thick for this thing. I also learned too late i needed to keep the speed up to help it feed better.

@benjamincresswell3713 4 ай бұрын

I remember way back in the middle 60's when they used to cut the fields with sickle mowers. I saw hen pheasants with their feet cut off. Apparently they wouldn't leave their nest and the sickle just cut their feet right off.

@chrisstevens3531 10 ай бұрын

I messed up in the video and forgot to pull the shutoff cable halfway out until just before the engine caught. Makes a huge difference, and usually I don't need any assistance getting it started with that trick, down to 25 degrees. I also have the batteries set up as 12v in parallel.

I had my 826 overhauled at 7000 hours. I found an M&W turbo kit had it put on left the fuel just as it was. It dyno's at 115hp. When going down the road in 8 th gear going from TA to the high side you better hang on, snappy doesn't describe it well.

@chrisstevens3531 10 ай бұрын

How much did that turbo kit set you back? Sounds like a great add-on!

@mikehenry3653 10 ай бұрын

I can't remember, a Red Tractor guy around the area had a manifold and turbo setting around used , I'm thinking around 600$ I sent the turbo off to have it rebuilt. The M&W kit routes the exhaust to the same hole in the hood as original muffler I just put a chrome stack coming out of the turbo the whistle is great. It changed the performance of this tractor completely.

They're tough, you can work on them yourself, and you can still find parts for them, as long as you're not going to the dealer to get them!

@charlesbennett6242 Жыл бұрын

Obviously the person running the tractor is not smart enough to know that you never engage the PTO at anything more than an idle then bring the throttle up slowly. Other wise it's hard on u joints and gear boxes. 😡

@chrisstevens3531 Жыл бұрын

It doesn't sound like you're very familiar with 26-56 series IH tractors. You can feather the PTO engagement with the handle. Additionally, We don't load material against the beaters, so they're not starting under load. The apron is hydraulically driven. Have a nice day.
