Farmall 1206

[@joshschreiber1468]

That is the most beautiful tractor I’ve ever seen. Congratulations.

[@dougpeirce726]

A 1206 or an Oliver 2255 are my favorite older tractor. A beauty here.

[@HughS-n6t]

I would also add the JD 4020

[@randyjames4380]

I spent many many hours on one of these magnificent tractors while I was growing up on our farm. It pulled 2 15 foot disc's one hooked behind the other with a ground harrow behind the last disc for ground preparation before planting.

Grew up with one, the sound is the BEST music ever.

[@smid2550]

The attention to detail is impressive.

[@ericcoffedgp40]

That is a fantastic looking tractor! It looks like it would be fun to cruise around a tractor or engine show on this beauty!

[@travissayers7885]

Finally someone who knows how a restoration should be done, Very Nice Work!! Here is a bud and I salute you

[@billkea7224]

What a gorgeous tractor. That one will never see the field again.

[@billrimnyak7575]

Extra long axles beautiful tractor

[@mattdomenic4814]

Looks brand new! Better than new paint.

[@mikedemott1720]

Oh Yeah! That Turbo is what I remember

[@tjjoecken7984]

We have two 1206s and they look just like that

[@tjjoecken7984]

Very nice tractor you have

[@33pearlqueen]

If God made a tractor…oh wait, he did. It’s right there. Thanks, God.

[@ryanmcculloch3008]

what a gem!

[@waynestalzer1776]

you need to put that back in the shed before you get dirt on that beautiful tractor that is the nicest looking 1206 I have seen that looks like it rolled off of the assembly line today👍👍👍👍👍

[@rudycarlson8245]

Absolutely beautiful job! My favorite farmall beside the M H and super MTA!

[@robertrockwell7581]

would never own a Diesel but it is a nice Tractor.

[@michaelpearson1367]

Beautiful! For me though it needs a full rack up front.

[@canadianHAWK3]

Very nice.

[@ScootSack]

This popped into my feed. Beautiful machine. I got to run a 1206 with an 18ft Keeawanee disc. Best time of my life. I was 18 at the time.

[@mikedemott1720]

Same here

[@splashdown50]

Damn I love that tractor!

[@brianpierce5086]

Amazing tractor

[@SMiller5488]

Awesome

[@DeBa1226]

Man o man, dad had a narrow front in on that 12, big tires on the back and pulled that bad boy all over Iowa and Nebraska back in the70’s. Always thought that and the 1456 were the two best irons they ever made. What would that restores 1206 sell for today?

[@gabeolson-jensen8676]

Probably 25,000 easy.

[@DeBa1226]

Brother you still have this 1206?

[@tomreisinger6220]

Sharp looking unit, judging by the first front view, might want to adjust the toe-in or the tires aren't going to last long.

[@staceymudd7670]

These ain't supposed to be pavement pounders. Those are like that to help you turn in the loose soil.

[@smid2550]

I had a 1456 back in the day -

[@anneshelton6681]

NICE👍🏻

[@Texaskeykeeper]

Damn that’s nice

[@smileysfarm8232]

There should only be one grab handle in the fender right? I could be wrong.

[@IHOutlaw]

Only on '65 or older 06s with flat tops. I had a '65 1206 with no hand grab hole in right fender. Around the time IH went from decal to emblem badged 1206s is when RH step, grab handle and RH fender hand grab came along on 06s and was new standard from then on.

[@bmiklercandon]

@@IHOutlaw I just finished restoring a 65 1206 has badge but no right hand entry

[@gabeolson-jensen8676]

God damn I’m jealous

[@stevenbaes8228]

Awesome looking binder. But be carefull that the engine don't run away on you. Those 1206s are bad for that. That would be a tragedy.

[@thomasforst7327]

The best international. Tractor s are 1206 706 856 1466. 1066 4586 4386 3788 . And my all time favorite tractor is the 1486

[@BigCS784]

Careful you might scare the 4020 guys.

[@Jessup004]

Farmall 806 done that. 806 stock with no turbo will outpull a 4020 with a turbo.

[@johnparkhurst1141]

how much would this tractor sell for new in 2021?

[@IHOutlaw]

$1k a hp

@@IHOutlaw sounds right to a novice like me, thanks

[@snydedon9636]

@@IHOutlaw I have a question for you. We had a 656 on a dairy farm back in the 60s. It came with a radio mounted on the right side fender. I’ve seen quite a few unrestored 6s over the years and none have had the radio on the fender although from what I could see there was holes were the bracket would have been. Do you know if all the models originally had the radio? Thanks and nice video.

[@IHOutlaw]

@@snydedon9636 none had radio from the factory. It was an over the counter purchase.

[@snydedon9636]

@@IHOutlaw thanks very much for the explanation. Maybe it was a used tractor and as I was a kid maybe I didn’t realize. It wasn’t often the old man spent money on maintenance never mind a bit of luxury. Have a good day. Subscribed

[@abazdarhon]

Send it to whistlindiesel he will know what to do with it.
