Is that the big open station International with the V8 diesel? Those are pretty sweet, I wan't either one of those or a 1466(same tractor w/inline 6 diesel) Put some duals on'er and cultivate in classic style!

 

No V8, 1486 is about the same as 1466 just newer, 437cu in turbo 6 cyl. Cab with AC. I spent enough years sweating my a$$ off, choking on dust while making round bales to have earned a tractor with AC.

 

thats a nice tractor pete

 

I could've swore that I saw an article in Diesel Power sayin that the 1486 and 1466 are the same except the 86 used the V8, any idea which one I'm thinkin of?

 

i remember a ford 9n with a flathead v8

 

Nope, now I got it, it was the 1468 not 1486! The 1468 used an International 548 cubic inch truck V8. Sounds pretty sweet but some people said the 1466 still pulled better with its inline 6

 

Thanks Nick. We make about 500 round bales a year - 6'X5' - 1500 lbs - so it's kind of my "summertime office".

 

Yup, that's it. The 6 cyl certainly has plenty of grunt.

 

when my family used to farm we had a cople of old farmalls from the 40s and 50s,it sucked when it would rain,snow,or when it was dusty

 

It would still be kinda neat to have around, but as I read on I find that they only made 2600 of them so my chances of ever havin one are lookin slim...

 

Fastfarmer if you need to borrow my AC D14 let me know.

 

Yea, the only 1468 V8s I've seen have been models on a shelf but they do look pretty cool.
And Nick, I have seen a flathead V8 Ford 8N. I belive I read that a company in Nebraska made the kits to convert an 8N to the V8 back when Ford was still selling new 8Ns.

 

As it happens, I also have a WD 45. So I'm good.
When I first started farming I had two AC WDs.

 

i thought it was a 9 but its been a long day,ive seen one at the edgar steam engine show the guy has dual stacks and glasspacks on it with rain caps i thought it was the coolest thing it also had a 3 bottom plow on it

 

I bet that sounded pretty sweet with the dual glass packs.
