I replaced most everything on my 1256 last winter and it wasn't a bad job. Of course my tractor didn't have a cab. If it had a cab it would be a real PIA. If you go to a Case-IH dealer and find a good parts guy that is familiar with these older tractors you will do okay. My dealer sold me a kit from Hy-Capacity that contained one or two steel pieces that I think were basically the range selctors that the gearshift handles mesh into. That was kind of hard to get off and it almost has to be pressed back on. That little update helped mine a lot and I also replaced every linkage and roll pin that I could.

The front axel should pivot and that cylinder doesn not have any ends on it. Good luck.
