Migraine: I do remember hearing of such a model, and looking at the possibility of it being built either at Doncaster or Neiss, if I were you, I'd take a wee trip across border into Canada and a CaseIH dealer. IH sent a lot of European built tractors into Canada that didn't go stateside. Most of this happened at time when US plants were working to capacity and not able to supply the North American market. There is another factor, up until mid 1970s there was a duty on US built tractors coming into Canada. Up until that time we could buy same hp for less money out of Britain than US. It was in part due to Canada being part of British Empire. We could get the duty back if we could prove the British Empire tractors in that hp class were suppling less than 10% of the market. I got this back on my first Case skidsteer in 1975, as Thomas was the only British Empire manufactured skidsteer. By 1976 that duty was gone. there was never a hope of getting the duty back on tractors. I can't say for certain there was a 1056, but if your finding this tractor near the border, that would be my approach. That is based on what the others have said. I don't remember the 1056, have never seen one, but there is a nagging about this in my memory.
