I recently rebuilt our farm tractor that we have had for several years a 1967 International 706 Diesel. Once I got the engine clean enough to see i noticed that the head was yellow. My great grandfather bought the tractor new in 1968 but he passed away a few years ago. My grandfather said that the tractor has never been tore down before. I was wondering why it has a yellow head.

Are ya sure it's paint? Been cleaning up the old 656 dad had...and the engine has tannish-yellow primer on it. Spooked me at first too.

So when you mean the head is yellow,do you mean it was yellow under the red? Or do you mean it was just yellow, even though the rest of the tractor was red? I don't believe they came that way from the factory. One guess would be that it was rebuilt once and had the head from a 2706 (I think that was the industrial version, not sure though) put on it. Another guess would be that the whole tractor used to be yellow, and for whatever reason, when it was repainted, the head got missed? I can conjure up a lot of what ifs, but you and your family would probably know best. Check around with whoever else was around the tractor in the past 30 years. I find that most of those weird things end up having the funniest stories involved with them. Good luck finding out.

Wouldn't necessarily be a 2706. Could've been a yellow head off any number of machines that would've used the German D310 that IH put in the late 706 tractors.

A big clue here is that tractor was purchased "new" in 1968. Since IH stopped manufacturing 706s in early 1967, that doesn't jive. What are the odds that a new 706 sat on the dealer lot for over a year?

Two other pieces of information would tell the full story: Serial number, and engine type. Especially if it's a D282, then Grandpa bought a USED tractor, one that evidently had the head replaced for one reason or another. Either the dealer lied to Grandpa, or he wasn't remembering details correctly (i.e. it was "new to him," not really new, and in his later years his memories of the event dropped the "to him" part). I would believe the fact that Grandpa never went into the engine... It'd already been overhauled once by the time he bought it.
