KENDELL - IH Paint info is constantly talked about on the RedPower forum too. The three versions of white comes up frequently, but the biggest mystery is what shade of gold was used on the 56-series Gold Demonstrators built in 1970. Used to be a forum regular here who's Father was a paint Supervisor at IH East Moline and consulted at FARMALL back about 1970 when they were built, Even He didn't know.
Bought some parts to rebuild the PTO clutch AGAIN for the final time on the 70 yesterday. I wish I could find the old reciept for the last PTO rebuild kit I bought about 5-7 years ago, I swear I only paid about $20-$25 for it!
L. William Rehm - I hope Your old rear tires had inner tubes in them. I'd remove the wheel/tire from the tractor, position the valve stem at the top of the tire, remove the valve core, the metal valve stem cap with the two little extensions works for this, then lay the tire over a large bucket or tub with the valve stem side pointing down. CaCl is good for use as a weed killer, also used on dirt & gravel roads to control dust. I'd look in Your local phone book for an ag. tire dealer and see if They'd be willing to take the CaCl off Your hands. For a small fee they may also be Your best bet to demount & reinstall Your new tires. Make sure You get new inner tubes installed inside Your new tires.
