I saw this tonight on the highway. It looks like an Abrams to me with a unique turret I have never seen before. Can anyone tell me what it is?

I have been loosely looking for a loader with a hydraulic bucket for my super C for a few years now. I finally found one with a tractor and am looking forward to saving my back.

Does anyone on here ever talk to him? I know he hasn’t posted in a quite a while. I have thought about his diagnosis often and wondered how he was doing. ALS has to be an incredibly difficult diagnosis to handle for all involved.

I didnt get many pics. so much going on it was hard to keep up with everything. DT 466 will have some pics to share. It was a beautiful day spent with friends.

Just a couple pics

Here is what I found on the Google machine

This is the old dealership building in Highland, IL. I don’t think I was ever there when it was still in business.

Came from Sunray Tx. Factory cab, cab is nice except LH door is trashed as on all my other diamond cabs. Tach shows 4860hrs. Hrs seem right, everything is still fairly tight, front axle isnt loose or welded on. Needs to be rewired. Has a Nazareth welding swinging drawbar. See those on western IHs every now and then. Had the metal precleaner bowl w/asspirator hose port. Probably came off a 915 combine. Came with 2 IH CAT 3 top links. Also had a Cyclo Air planter pump drive bracket on drawbar. Specs When I received it: -Factory Diamond Cab -TA -18.4x38 -10.00-16 8 bolt -118" longbar axles -hyd seat -Tilt steering -2 hyd -540/1000 PTO -(4) 750lb BW wheel weights. -12 100lb BW suitcase weights -set on 40" centers. -missing 1 F-1456 emblem Specs Changed: -removed cab -added correct platform, fenders And double steps -clutch assist -deep set 12 hole weight bracket -removed the large wheel weights -added 4, 2 sets per side IH 400087R1 wheel weights -IH 9 bolt dual hubs -clutch assist -IH CAT 2/3 quick hitch -Stock air intake -IH 530577R1 muffler -swapped out cab style cowling and fuel tank hood. -added front mount hyd -added Check Valves w/hyd break away couplers. -I added a used set of Firestone 18.4r38s and one blew out with less than 5hrs of use. That sucked but luckily i was across the road from the shop and and slamming on a dual got me back to the shop.

For wasps and hornets, and I don't mean heavy metal bands and AMC cars! Trying to work in front of my shop but wasps and hornets are thick today. Seems they are drawn to tractors for some reason. A warm day this time of year sure brings them out in ND.

Hey guys, i’m getting ready to paint my IH 674. My question is what brand paint are you guys using on your tractors? I’ve read a different forms anywhere from rustoleum to PPG, etc.. thanks -G

Was just reading online that gm is going to release a jimmy again. If you guys remember it was always a blazer look alike. But this time it is supposed to be a body on frame suv so maybe replacing the the short Yukon? Stellantis is releasing a ram charger also. Have seen pictures of this and it will be a shared platform with Jeep wagoner. Looked like a nice vehicle. Hopefully has some of the little problems of wagoner sorted out.
