Oh man, those WERE the days. Our place wasn't big enough to keep three boys busy so I worked out at the neighbors for several years. They had a 4020 and one of the first 806's. Being a demo tractor, the 806 had the pump opened up and really had snort. We used the 4020 to rake hay and also as a front end weight for the 806! Then there was a 1206 and it was a hoot with that straight pipe. I cultivated zillions of acres of corn and beans with a SMTA and IH rear mount cultivator. It's still there and has my name on it I believe. When I was in college I came home one weekend just in time to break in dad's new 856. He bought it and a 5 bottom semi mounted plow for $10,000. I can still smell the new paint burning off the muffler. He passed on a demo 1456 that a friend bought and I ran than off and on while going to school, doing custom work and pulling 7-16's (Later on dad needed a second tractor and bought--you guessed it--a 1030 Case). Now that you guys have brought this up, I'm going to finish this '45 H and go looking for an 8 or 1206. Just what I need here in suburban Spokane to keep the neighbors on their toes! Thanks for the memories, Wes
