Story of Rare 1970 IHC 826 Gas Hydro Tractor in Missouri

Adam Brandt of Alma, MO tells the story of buying his great grandfather's brother's 1970 IHC 826 gas hydro tractor on estate auction to keep it in the family

Didn"t even know they built a 826. Gas.

A very neat tractor indeed. Those hydros are really handy. We have a 656 utility with a hydro that sees mostly barnyard chores, it's super handy on our feed grinder.

There was a 826 Diesel gear drive and 826 Diesel Hydro, both with the D-358 engine. The 826 Gasoline / LPG with the C-301 was only built with a Hydro transmission as an 826 with a gear drive transmission would have been almost the same as an 856 Gasoline l LPG!

What does Hydro mean?

[@michiganfarmer69]

Steve Holsten is a shifter for international like the powersift for 4020

[@SteveHolsten]

Perry davis 1234 Duh! I should've thought of that. Thanks.

[@michiganfarmer69]

Steve Holsten your welcome

[@bigjimbilly1835]

Hydro-static - infinitely adjustable speed, with a high and low range. It is not a powershift

[@clintonstubbs2319]

Hydrostatic transmission. Works a lot like a CVT, but with hydraulic pressure. It is good for loader work and lawn cutting because you can run a set speed and don't have to shift gears. The hydrostatic transmission can be set up to slow the tractor down when you pull back on the lever.
