With attention to detail and love in their hearts, They breathe new life into this work of art. From engine to seat, every part they renew, The IH 1086, it's as good as new. So here's to the IH 1086, with its new lease on life, A symbol of hard work and dedication, in times of strife. With pride in their eyes and smiles on their faces, The IH 1086, it's ready for new races.
The 1086 is looking fantastic!! I would never be able to put a cab kit in, the OCD and wrinkles would get the best of me! I think you did amazing!! Looking fwd to seeing the seat installed, and everything back together!! I like the foam you put in as extra, that should help quite a bit with the noise!! Looking fwd to seeing this tractor in the field soon, when y'all dry up 😳 Thank you sir for bringing us along,look fwd to more!!
Tim, I could tear it apart - no problemo - BUT I would be lost trying to reassemble it in no time! I don't think even cataloging my disassembly with a ton of phone photos would help put that Humpty Dumpty back together again lol. How you are able to is beyond me.
Making good progress! That air ride seat should be nice. I'm lucky, my 1486 came with the factory hydraulic seat, it's fairly comfortable. Maybe you'll inspire me to get an interior kit 🙂
That's a good idea, I haven't done anything to the markings but since I have a silver sharpie, I was just going to use that. Thanks again for your comments and watching.
I found them on Zoro.com. it is an A&I set. The same company that John Deere and other dealers go to for after market parts. But they were a lot cheaper. Good luck with your set.
That's gonna be just fine when you're all done with the install. Any wrinkles may flatten themselves out once some sun gets to baking it a little. There aren't any of those bristle/brush things to line the shift and range slots in that piece to keep dust out more?
Have you tried Steiner for parts or All States Ag for used parts,I wonder if someone with a 3D printer could make the plastic piece,probably cost prohibitive
I tried both of those companies 1st. They did not have one. I went though about 6 salvage yards and came up empty. Thanks again for being here and supporting me.
@@TAHDAHFarm Ok, and it works well as IH 1086 tractor?? Because I am French and these tractors have never been marketed in France, and I would like to know if the IH 1086 are reliable tractors??
