We bought an 856 wheatland new. It had normal sized tires but a fixed front axle (our 966 could have the front adjusted to meet row width). It had two remotes on the rear but no three point or PTO. It had a really heavy duty swinging drawbar with a greasable roller. The fenders on it were rounded and quite wide out over the tire tread. it had no lights on the fenders - they were in the top corners of the grill like our 66 series. After a few years a really bad cab was put on it and the fenders were taken off I can't recall what happened to them but they weren't anywhere on the farm. They probably went to the junk man. Someone would love to have those now, I'll bet. That cab didn't have heat or even a fan. The doors swung forward to open and we would open both and tie them open over the hood by the fuel cap.
That tractor did all of the field work except for cultivating sedan. We kept it until it was traded in on a gently used 1086. The IH dealer had rebuilt the engine once but I think that was the only thing ever done to it. It was quite the workhorse.

It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
