Look just inside the rear frame, left side, in the articulation area. On the bottom cross structure and see if there is a #17 stamped in the steel. If so, I am the one who welded that particular rear frame. If there is another number beside mine, that would have been my welding partner.

What a beautiful machine. I love the hard body lines. The angled fenders instead of just curves.

Thank you for filming this sale. Great capture of tractor history.

Speaking as the son of an auctioneer, I just love hearing that old school auctioneer chant.

Worked on a bull ranch up in Oregon, ( circa 1988). Had a 1978, three cylinder, diesel, with a front-end loader. That was one sweet machine.

I saw a Old 2+2.setting in the trees. Made me think back when i saw them working in a Field years ago.

[@steiger256]

I figured they would have gone for more than that. Possibly 1 of the rarest IH tractors.

[@ih1206]

Pretty darn cool Pete, thanks for sharing. I didn't know IH made such a beast until a few months ago when I was doing some research on a 5288.

Hey I'm straight south of there in Brandon! grew up on a farm in Miniota, cool to see stuff like this in Manitoba

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

Great piece of Red Power history! My local dirt track has an old AC 7580 bareback that is used a few times each season to turn the track, then they grade and roll the clay. I'm pretty sure this is a fairly rare tractor too.

Wow that was awesome . What horse ! I would love to drive that baby around. Makes my 4-150 White look like a toy . lol But I still like my White its been a good tractor to me . I don't do a lot of work with it but what I do . It pulls my 6-18 onland 710 IH plow and my 22 ' 490 IH disk and a 36' glenco digger , just great . thanks Pete

[@Joe_Jenkins404]

Not really sure how i ran across this page, but as a crane operator currently, and someone who grew up on old ford 9N, i like it

[@chevylife5490]

[@joshuadoll9000]
