Thanks for the info. On the steering, pretty much every moving part in the whole mechanism is worn. When the hydraulic cylinder actuates, everything lifts up a couple inches. At some point I'll just have to take this all apart and see what's up. I could probably bore out and machine busings for the worn areas.
Alternatively, maybe a boneyard will sell me what I need at a decent price.
Good info on the parking lock. I read somewhere that when I go to fix this, I can upgrade it to the newer style (like on an 856), and that is more robust. Is this the case?
Regarding batteries- it always seemed that parallel is ok if both are equally good. I think that if one batt goes bad (shorted cell), then the good battery ends up supplying all the current. But these both look to be similar condition (I'll take a lok at the date codes).
I guess before doing this, I better see how fast it turns over on 12v and if it starts ok. On a 70 degree day, I need to run the starter about 5 seconds I'd say to get it going. I'm sure when its cold it will be tough. Of course, when I get the ether injector on, it should be fine.
So- do you think this is a "put together" tractor, or an odd model, or simply a normal, early example of an International 806?

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
