Farmall 756 Gets New Skins and a Reverse Shout-out

[@crslyrn]

Nice upgrade with the tires. Thanks for the ride along.

[@mce-jc2mw]

Awesome he came right to your house...great service

[@Rdrake1413]

Looks like a pretty smooth ride. Looks better with the larger tires. I used to load my tires with plain water, but lived in GA then and didn't have worry about freezing temps. Have loaded tires with anti-freeze for customers when I worked for John Deere. Also seen people use windshield water fluid.

[@FarmallFanatic]

I lived in GA too...we definitely got below freezing a few times...I don't think I'd risk just water, but that was your call

[@Rdrake1413]

@@FarmallFanatic Was rare for us to get freezing temps. If it did get below freezing it was only for a few hours at night. Never cold enough to freeze solid. Had water in the tires for 20 years and never had an issue. Wouldn't do that here in PA.

Looks good on the road, you can use it to go into town now for a beer lol. Duals would be cool

Hahaha brewsky

[@GrantMcIntosh]

Been a while since I've seen a reverse shout out. Sue me 😂 Little bumpy going down the road. Don't spill your beer. 🍻👍

[@DennysCountryLife]

Much better! Be interested to see what difference you notice while plowing as far as speed and traction. Enjoy!

[@PaulBorsJr]

We have gotten used antifreeze in 55 gallon drums from the local junkyard for free, apparently they had to pay to get rid of it so it worked out well. Although I’m running beet juice in the tubeless tractor now. Still amazes me how that large of a tire is tubeless. Are those burnout marks in the road from the old tires, just before they were taken off?

[@FarmallFanatic]

Hahaha yea I peeled wheels 🤣

[@challengerhitchman]

Interesting thoughts on loading tires. We removed calcium from the 15.5's on the 766 and the 18.4 on the 966. Both are radial Firestone. The 766 never misses the the fluid 3 to 4 lug bars on the ground. The 966 dualed we add about 1400 lbs of wheel weights when pulling a ripper in 3rd. Both tractors have wedge lock wheels, the clamp style your 756 has is really hard to keep tight. That is from 30 years of running loaded ties no wheel weights. We found most jobs don't require the weight, keeps the compaction down the rest of the year.

[@FarmallFanatic]

Agree and ull never need a new rim...at least from rot

[@jamesolson9423]

Tire fluid consumes more power, because the fluid is always being pushed uphill. I had 5 sets of wheel weights on my 1566, and 3 sets on my 1256. I also loaded the tires with fluid. While I like IH tractors, their engines, the TA, and the transmission were, by IH''s design, too far in front of the rear differential. In order to get proper weight transfer when pulling a heavy load, you have to add a lot of weight to the rear drive tires. My 1566 had a Elwood FWD, and i had 30.5 x 32 rear tires..The tractor wighed over 20,000 lbs. I needed every bit of it when I injected liquid manure with my calumet 4500 gallon liquid manure spreader.

[@tyfrank3427]

if it seals properly, it won't hurt your rims. You got a great deal on the tires. The 16.9-34 tires are not enough on a W-9, let alone a 756. We have a few 706 diesel tractors and they have 18.4-34 tires and they are adequate. The Farmalls sure handle nice on the road. The standard tread 706 and 756 the steering mechanisms are different, and when they wear, the front wheels flop and they will wander on the road.

[@dansherrell6803]

Inch different *per side*... you were correct, 2”.

[@BillTheTractorMan]

I use a 656 for feeding at the ranch, cant stand that it only has 34inch rims. 38" rims and the taller tires would make a world of difference.

[@FarmallFanatic]

I agree

[@seniorelectrician6831]

I have found that the wheel weights are much better for traction than fluid. Also it is more consistent year round

[@westhavenalwaysandforever]

Good investment and in the long haul for the crops

[@stevekeast2297]

I had a 756 Diesel with 18.4 X 38s had two wheel weights on each side and the tires were loaded had a quick attach Farm Hand loader on it had it for 20 years used it to plant and for loader work very good tractor. It would pull the 17 foot IH wing disc I had and the 5/16 Oliver plow I had too Ist high all day long if needed. It had a Rosa Master pump on it instead of the Bosch pump always had plenty of power and started good only one I ever seen set up that way. Wouldn’t pull the stuff quite as good as the 1855 Oliver I had but the Oliver had duals on it

[@tyfrank3427]

That got my attention. I wonder what you need to put a Roosa Master on a D-310? Those Bosch pumps are usually the reason the farmers quit running them.

[@stevekeast2297]

@@tyfrank3427 I’m pretty sure it was a factory update the only thing on the engine that was not painted was the pump and the injection lines and someone had wired the fuel shutoff solenoid into the ignition switch the old fuel shutoff cable was still in the dash and wired up with a cable tie on the engine. Not sure about the drive gear it looked all stock mounting ran real good lots of torque

[@ihus9950]

Definitely what the Tractor needed, my 766 has the 18.4 x 34, then I put a set of 4 rib Firestone on the front great combination 👍

[@ericlakota6512]

You can load with lot of other things if you do reserch 50/50 washer fluid i hear works and its not to expensive for weight

[@bobpaterson1845]

Good video 👍 what pressure are u running in the rears👍 we run 12to14psi for fieldwork an about 18 for road 👍

[@norbertholtz4005]

could you use windshield washer fluid

[@FarmallFanatic]

Yeah

[@rickschmeltz6464]

Put windshield washer fluid in them. I have it in all my tractors works great and doesn’t eat your rims. It is also a lot cheaper then rim guard.

[@farmerpete]

Looks good with the 18.4s. They'll get the job done.

[@jamesstone2849]

Fill the tires with wiper fluid

[@alexmikhael5061]

so what you do with those old tires??? my great greatgrandma would use them for ''raised flower gardens'' before they were a thing... she would place 3 boulders in a triangle with the same height sittin poiont up... put the tires on their side, on the rocks ...more stabilazation if needed but my memoriez see them on 3 stones, in sets of 3 in a traingle.... ;) I don't know they were MASONS and the lady verson of wutever they were... anyhow poss a bord in tire, and some dirt... raised flower garden....

[@shrunkenskulloutdoors]

Looks nice. I am a fan of duals. I am working on getting all the parts together and will have duals on my lite cub soon.

[@maddog2771]

I disagree on wheel weights being hard on the axel , ran them for years never had any trouble . 😊

[@philtietje4363]

I agree that wheel weights should not be hard on the axle. But if you do the math, I think in the long run wheel weights are cheaper because anytime you have a flat tire you have to call a service truck to pump the fluid out and it cost much more to repair the tire because of that. I am removing all the fluid from my two tractors one is done and the other one is going to get done this summer and I am going to repair the rims and add wheel weights that I have accumulated from auctions. Of course I do my own tire work so that saves me a lot of money.

[@maddog2771]

@@philtietje4363 I have 1 tractor with just wheel weights but the other one that pulls the plow that has antifreeze in the tires and wheel weights

[@tyfrank3427]

Me too. Sometimes they run 2 or 3 sets and the axles are fine. Duals are harder on the axles and triples are worse.

[@isaiahshaffer]

Amen to the loaded rims, we’ve got a 966 that was bought new and had calcium immediately and it’s still in there, same rims, eventually it’ll need rims but they are good for now, takes time Got to the end of the video and see you changed your mind! Oh well it’ll still work good!

[@ronniewalker2881]

good video man good job looked good

[@deanbarr5740]

Farmall the last time i loaded tractor tires I used antifreeze from a local tire shop. An old fellar had 3 drums of used "changed out" antifreeze. Of course I bought two new rear tires from him, and he loaded them for free. Automotive Antifreeze weighs about 9.8 lbs. per gallon he put about 40 gallon per tire. Just a thought, worth sharing.

[@brokenwrench1]

walmart was selling RV antifreeze for $1/gallon

[@FarmallFanatic]

Wow

[@tannerfamilyfarms3450]

I hope you save them old tubes. As bad as they look they're still working and worth fixing. Just like steal rubber isn't like it used to be.

[@FarmallFanatic]

In the barn collecting dust

[@hturbo1007]

We've had problems with the new valve stems holding fluid. They leak from new. I hope you have better luck.

[@QuietRiverBear]

Slightly off topic, though 756 related, when you used to tarp it, how’d you keep the tarp from snapping the amber light off the fender?

[@FarmallFanatic]

Very carefully bungee straps

[@donparker8246]

it probably wouldn't bounce if you had an implement on the back

[@FarmallFanatic]

I was wondering about that

[@AliMackMechanical]

She looks a lot better with the new skins on her she's sitting at the right hight.👍

[@davidsoldiron]

Have you considered using Windshield Washer Fluid? It is available in 55 gallon drums, or make your own. The formula is 15 gallons of Methanol with the balance being water, unless you would like to add Mrs. Stewarts bluing to get your whites whiter and a bottle of Dawn dish soap. Yup. That's window wash.

[@Husker3435]

Alright new shoes and biggins’ for the ole 56...that-a-baby she ought to hook up now😎regulators ride🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@williamspates6105]

We did same swap years ago on 706 diesel made a big difference on traction

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Tires look great they are expensive these days. I'd load them think just gets better traction have a good night.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Reverse shout out LOL Stinks you can't get parts. Are those tires radials or bias? I got a set of bias one time, and they were horrible on the road. Needless to say, they were only on the tractor a few days!

[@FarmallFanatic]

Most definitely if you were doing road travel you do not want bias

[@fastsetinthewest]

Nice video 👍 Eaglegards...

[@zodszoo]

Hopefully with some time on those tires they will smooth out nicely. Who knows just how long they've been sitting.

[@BarnyardEngineering]

Eventually it may cost you a rim, like in 40 years. Longer if you fix the leaky tube when you notice it.

[@FarmallFanatic]

Didn't load em

[@ericlakota6512]

Best thing was not loading them they rot faster then you think its if they take 10 years 10 years is faster then it sounds tomaro you wake up and its 10 years

[@brokenwrench1]

there was a problem with a couple years in 8X6 and 12X6 tractors if a ceritian power steering seal went bad the operator gor sprayed with hot hy tran thru the steering wheel. i went on many service calls and fixed them in the field, the upgrade recall repair kit cured the problem

[@9liter68]

Have you ever checked to see if your rim is mounted to the wheel correctly?

[@Farmscrap1183]

Why not just use antifreeze instead of calcium that's what everybody runs in their tires where I'm at it's cheaper and it doesn't ruin your rims

It's not as heavy
