Oh man does that bring back memory's, We had a 1046 with a comfort 2000 cab, we got 6000 hours on her as our main tractor on our grain farm in wales, we got it used with 5000 on. I'm kinda sad we didn't bring that old girl to Canada with us. I spent many hours driving 955, 956, and a the odd day a 1255 working for a silage contractor to, they all had really good syncro transmissions you could fly on the changes with . Your buddy's doing a good job, but the only IH like that to have a straight pipe should be a turbo !!!!!!!. Those original IH bullet exhausts whistle sounds way better when it's working hard than that straight pipe bark ever will. Those tractors and the big Ford six's like Georges are the only thing I'll drive without a radio, you can just listen to them sing all day. The strange thing is a Bepco type repro exhaust looks identical to the original but it don't whistle !, I got a new one here in the shed from my days in Wales i tried on the 46. When the guy I worked for changed the exhaust on his 1255 for a chrome pipe I got the old exhaust for our 1046. it fitted the manifold with a shim to tighten it a bit and has a bigger flow through it, that tractor went like a sexually interfered with ape as it freed up some extra power and it kept the whistle. See there are other good tractors out there than green ones L.O.L . Thanks for sharing Take care.
The 956 is running like a champ and Paul is doing great job keeping it running straight and true. The resto is coming along good and doing a nice job. Thanks and enjoy the week !
Thank you for your great variation of videos, takes me back to the days when I was on the farm. The farm I was on in Norfolk were still using spiked rear wheels, using the blue stock.
Great video , I have just bought a ford 6610 and it has been 30 years since I drove one of them , I had a grin from ear to ear on Sunday morning driving it home !
Paul's doing a good job of that Kurt. Nice tractor to drive as well.....a bit hampered by not having a camera mount, but really enjoyed my little play.
Nice video Mucker! My late dad used to say that machinery needs a decent workout to stop the barrels getting polished, Im inclined to agree. The farm where he worked had an MF 168 which did very little heavy work, an MF 30 seed drill was about the heaviest thing it pulled. This tractor always smoked and felt asthmatic compared to it's stablemate 185 which did all the ploughing and heavy cultivation at that end of the farm. When the 168 driver retired dad took on the 168 and after a few weeks it didn't smoke any more!
Thanks for that ,always wanted one preferably an International .where my old man worked in the eighties they had a whole fleet of various models .A friend of mine has recently brought a later case version 1455 really going to push him to take out out one day .if you was ever in Kent would make a great video he has a nice collection of modern classics seems a shame nobody sees them,anyway Merry Christmas 🎄👍🏻
Thanks LM, for 95 HP it's pulling all those Vibraflex shanks well, ...... they can take some pulling and that's not light land either. Well done to Paul on the repair and restoration work.
Great vid Mr Muck! Lovely sounding tractor! Glad to see your channel growing :) You always make intresting vids and you seem like a top bloke. Keep up the good work. This is my favorite farming channel. Thanks for all your hard work making the vids. Cheers fella
Proper tractor, Sounds loads better for having the straight pipe than the original exhaust. Surprising how the XL cab hasn't really aged though. Look at the vision down to the front wheels.
I remember my dad had one of these as a main ploughing tractor years ago he changed it for a fiat 160/90 because our neighbour had one love the look of the international but the fiat went really well
Straight pipe without any damping built in it sounds crap compared to the original whistler pipe, but thats my opinion :) love to see them in action, very nice tractors with those XL cabs
Lol awsome vid LM My freind and ooo man ya had me crackin up when ya said buggar off and have a salad!! Lol UHH and I did hear the other part to! ;-) So that is one beuteefull ole girl! And I hope that day was great for you!
I started to watch this during soybean harvest and didn't finish at that time. I'm an IH man myself and enjoyed that. You're right on about IH lugging power. I was a bit bugged by that floppy stack, though. Thanks for posting, Kurt. Later ,Tater!!
Drove a 1056XL just like that brand new back in 1984 Reg B693 CEG. Wonder where she ended up. Spent many an hour sitting on the headland with it ticking over waiting for the temp gauge to come out the red!
Great tractors, the German built models were more expensive over the the English built models of the day but the extra cost was well worth it in the long run. That six cylinder was a good one too and hard to beat by the competitors.
Nice old girl, miss my 1455xl, it was later one though with black cab, the very last ones you could get with 40kmh, although mine was a 30kmh with creeper box.
Cut my teeth on one of these, still have it on our farm, she's a bit rough looking now though. Has a great turbo whistle and I love the transmition whine. Always rember pulling a set of Cambridge rolls up a steep hill in too higher gear chucking out more smoke than a traction engine. Was too scared to drop a gear incase I couldn't get her to pull on 😂
Demonstrated a Howard 4 leg paraplow at the scottish ploughing championship in the 70s behind a 955 in fairly strong ground and Howard recommended 30hp per leg but the 955 just walked away with it 😊
Hi nice tractor, how do you find the gear change? As far as i know there on the right hand side? Its just i know some internationals were very pron to sticking in gear when worn. Thanks in advance
Nice video chap, the lad is doing a great restoration job. Did the original exhaust give a whistle while it worked? Or am I thinking of the bigger 1255/1455?
....which is great fun for, oh, 10 minutes ? He's putting her back as it should be and when a decent exhaust comes up he'll get it but it's pointless without the whistle.
Kenny Barrett I spent summer on a 856xl the noise it made when braking was something I’ve never heard before the only way I can describe it is a ceramic sound that can be heard from 300 meters away
Forgive my ignorance but how does that work? There's a club/group /bunch of mates that have some tractors and arable equipment and they know someone who has some land that needs cultivation and so they give up a Saturday or Sunday to essentially go contracting for free? Or is it more of a communal enterprise where everyone goes to everyone else's farm and does a bit in a many hands making light work kinda thing? Just not something we woolly maggot taxi farmers really seem to indulge in round here.
Yes basically someone has some land they keep aside for the event, the club/group organise the day, people come and watch. It's a brilliant way to see them working.
Lord muck me and my brothers live in Devon and we have an nearly finished international 956 a Marshall 804 and a massey 3095 and a gray ferguson tef can you please tell me do you. Know anyone who has a international snoopy and what's your opinion of fiat's 180_90dt
Yes I know of a couple of Snoopys. The Fiat 180-90DT is a fantastic tractor but did suffer from final drive issues but all the same, a wonderful bit of kit.
Lord muck we are having problems which in your view what make of conventional baler would you have and sometime could you do a video on knotter setup and maintenance as we always have issues with our old new Holland 386 baler knots coming undun
Lord Muck, why do farmers on your side of the pond tend to back up at every end to turn around instead of circling or laying of lands? It seems a terrible waste of time and hard on clutch and transmissions. I’d like to know.
Turning at the ends rather than going round in lands is so much more efficient - many many studies have shown this. The travelling round to set in using the lands system is a huge waste of time plus constantly circling creates massive compaction on the headlands. It's no harder on the clutch than any other operation.
Nice one Mucker. My first Job at 14 with good old man Tony Kirby gob bless him we had one these and it was our all rounder. We had engine upgrade and got 106hp. Poor girl was exhausted by time she was retired and last time saw her she was pulling header trailer and was used on the blower. Thanks old lady for being my first allocated Tractor. I didn't care what she was or how old she was she was mine and I treated her better then I did my girlfriend at the time lol?
I once drove the smaller IH, discing and found my knees got so bashed on the dash that it was a job to stand up after. Was a much easier ride in my MF1200. You have done some good videos this year.
Funny you mentioned that Ant, can you remember though when ploughing in a 1200/50 how your right knee smacked the edge of that bloody column on the seat/linkage control ?
Yes see what you mean, it is a bit pointy, the good thing with the 1200s is you can drive them sitting a lot of different ways, unlike the small IH where your feet have to stay in the same place. Have a look at my you tube channel to see my 1200s working.
Oh man does that bring back memory's, We had a 1046 with a comfort 2000 cab, we got 6000 hours on her as our main tractor on our grain farm in wales, we got it used with 5000 on.

Yes I reckon that whistle is music on its own !
Lord Muck knows the driving features of so many different types of tractors, it always takes me a while if I jump on something new to me!
Character is the word & not an insult to the old girl it sounds good with a steady engine beat 👍
Got to be one of the best sounding tractors ever
My dad has one from 1986
@@hughdenniston5577 same
I do enjoy watching machines at work. Paul is getting the body work sorted out just fine.
He's doing a grand job David.
Nice tractor, Lord Muck seems to be able to drive any heavy equipment.
The 956 is running like a champ and Paul is doing great job keeping it running straight and true. The resto is coming along good and doing a nice job. Thanks and enjoy the week !
Yes it's nice to keep seeing the progress Lloyd.
Have a great week mate.
Thank you for your great variation of videos, takes me back to the days when I was on the farm. The farm I was on in Norfolk were still using spiked rear wheels, using the blue stock.
Lovely old machines,had some good memories driving one of them !,that distinctive grunt as you say!...happy days ! 🙂
Great video , I have just bought a ford 6610 and it has been 30 years since I drove one of them , I had a grin from ear to ear on Sunday morning driving it home !

Nice tractor lads ,takes me back
Nice tractor and nice work. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it Ghil, I'm about to watch your vid now !
Loving these working day videos and a very good restoration
Hoping to be off to another tomorrow Aaron so should have more footage.
Thanks for that ,always wanted one preferably an International .where my old man worked in the eighties they had a whole fleet of various models .A friend of mine has recently brought a later case version 1455 really going to push him to take out out one day .if you was ever in Kent would make a great video he has a nice collection of modern classics seems a shame nobody sees them,anyway Merry Christmas 🎄👍🏻
Had one of these on demo in 87-88 ish, Loved it.
Some great footage of a cracking old tractor.
Yes she went well !
Oh don't that bring back memories. Fantastic tractor. Thanks for posting it
Glad you enjoyed it Bobinski !
Lord Muck used to drive one . You might wonder where the Bobinski came from lol blame buckin billy Ray. Again thanks for posting
Haha ! Ye it sounds like a Buckin' handle for sure !
Sounds good mate, engine sounds solid too. Always nice to see commitment on heritage stuff, thanks for sharing you daft bugger ;)
Be seeing you!
Stay safe...
Lord Muck shall I add you to my whatsapp list? 😂
Lost my IH virginity to a 845 a contractor I helped out with. Lovely little tractor.
Nothing hangs in like an IH that's for sure.
What a brilliant,beefy exhaust sound.The sound of power.
That's a lovely classic tractor they always should be working in the fields and on the road they don't deserve to be in a barn doing nothing
Thanks LM, for 95 HP it's pulling all those Vibraflex shanks well, ...... they can take some pulling and that's not light land either.
Well done to Paul on the repair and restoration work.
It would have been a standard bit of kit on a tractor of that size back in the day pulling down old spud ground ! Happy days.
A real nice tractor that, it would be going on 35 yrs young according to the reg, good stuff Kurt:)
Great vid Mr Muck! Lovely sounding tractor! Glad to see your channel growing :) You always make intresting vids and you seem like a top bloke. Keep up the good work. This is my favorite farming channel. Thanks for all your hard work making the vids. Cheers fella
Thank you, that's very kind. I'm glad you enjoy it as it's good fun to make it.
Another good ol tractor video . Good to see old beast working
Cheers Paul, it went really well.
Lord Muck can you drop me an line i lost ur email
Love the tractor Vid's..Happy Birthday,yep I heard it..lol
I wont tell anybody..Have a great day my friend.. Take Care
Thank you Cynthia !
Have a great week my friend.
Very nice healthy sounding tracker best I’ve herd in a while
And very clean emissions
No smoke - no poke !
Proper tractor, Sounds loads better for having the straight pipe than the original exhaust. Surprising how the XL cab hasn't really aged though. Look at the vision down to the front wheels.
It sure is a good view from there Billy.
Old memorys day hard.Saunds from the chailhod.
Good memories Fredrik !
Hey Paul, nice tractor! Great vid lord
It was a good day and good fun Don.
I remember my dad had one of these as a main ploughing tractor years ago he changed it for a fiat 160/90 because our neighbour had one love the look of the international but the fiat went really well
That was good driving
Great video. I have that old International TD-9 dozer. I like International stuff.
Yep that dozer of yours is lovely Mike.
Straight pipe without any damping built in it sounds crap compared to the original whistler pipe, but thats my opinion :) love to see them in action, very nice tractors with those XL cabs
Yeh me and Paul agree about the original pipe having a lovely note to it.
Lol awsome vid LM My freind and ooo man ya had me crackin up when ya said buggar off and have a salad!! Lol UHH and I did hear the other part to! ;-) So that is one beuteefull ole girl! And I hope that day was great for you!
It was a great day Pard and Paul got his own back when he mentioned a certain day....!
I started to watch this during soybean harvest and didn't finish at that time. I'm an IH man myself and enjoyed that. You're right on about IH lugging power. I was a bit bugged by that floppy stack, though. Thanks for posting, Kurt. Later ,Tater!!
He's waiting to get hold of a decent original stack as the aftermarket ones don't sound right.
Our 585 xl is pretty cool too, but this would still be very nice.
nice looks ih there!
It's coming on well Kev
Way back when on farm we had 1055xl fabulous to drive and sound be it field work or road
Very nice!
Thought you might like that.
Drove a 1056XL just like that brand new back in 1984 Reg B693 CEG. Wonder where she ended up. Spent many an hour sitting on the headland with it ticking over waiting for the temp gauge to come out the red!
Yes it wasn't uncommon especially when they were capable of doing more than they were ever designed for.
Very nice.
Great tractors, the German built models were more expensive over the the English built models of the day but the extra cost was well worth it in the long run. That six cylinder was a good one too and hard to beat by the competitors.
Nice tractor !!!, I've never seen one in North Carolina. Would love to try it out in the hay field.
I'm not sure you guys got them over there James, maybe in a different guise.
great tractor ,,
You're right there Sean
Nice old girl, miss my 1455xl, it was later one though with black cab, the very last ones you could get with 40kmh, although mine was a 30kmh with creeper box.
That's because you're spethal Barry......
Lord Muck breed em spethal round here...... Only gotta look at Alain Lol 😂
IHC is a tractor that souns better with the orginal exhaust in my ears. Great tractors. Cab was desinged by Porsche
Yes most things sound better with the original exhaust.
Looking good paul nice vidja muck
It would be a nice tractor for you to go to the pub in.
Lord Muck what an excellent idea
I do like a nice International,
Keep us posted on the 956 chap 👍
You'll see plenty more of it I'm sure Bill.
You didn't need a radio in those old girls, just open the sunroof and listen to the exhaust whistle, better than any bloody radio!!
It's about time you had some proper Nashers on here, eh Kurt?
Not sure about that but it's definitely time for tea !
Now thats a proper sounding tractor but during the 80s and 90s there was some good sounding tractors but another fine video
Cut my teeth on one of these, still have it on our farm, she's a bit rough looking now though. Has a great turbo whistle and I love the transmition whine. Always rember pulling a set of Cambridge rolls up a steep hill in too higher gear chucking out more smoke than a traction engine. Was too scared to drop a gear incase I couldn't get her to pull on 😂
But that's just it - they Weren't turbo'd ! It was the exhaust silencer that gave them that fantastic whistle !
@@LordMuck I just had to double check because our was turbo charged. It was a 856XL so that's why 👍🏻
Yes 856 was 4cyl turbo.
Demonstrated a Howard 4 leg paraplow at the scottish ploughing championship in the 70s behind a 955 in fairly strong ground and Howard recommended 30hp per leg but the 955 just walked away with it 😊
Was it a 4 legged 955? ("Walked away with it")
Does that 955 have a criminal record?
salut bonne journee je conduisait le meme ici en france tres bon tracteur
Merci mon ami
Hi nice tractor, how do you find the gear change? As far as i know there on the right hand side? Its just i know some internationals were very pron to sticking in gear when worn. Thanks in advance
Normally the smaller models with left hand gear levers would jam when worn.
@@LordMuck they sure would, what about the right?
Not so much.
fajny traktor
Nice video chap, the lad is doing a great restoration job. Did the original exhaust give a whistle while it worked? Or am I thinking of the bigger 1255/1455?
They sure did! Fitting that straight through pipe has lost I'm afraid.
Dan Whiteford I think you are right, sound better original.
The problem is that the replacements don't whistle ! Might as well have a bark from a straight pipe until a decent original can be sourced.
Lord Muck or fit a turbo with straight pipe and get loads of noise.
....which is great fun for, oh, 10 minutes ?
He's putting her back as it should be and when a decent exhaust comes up he'll get it but it's pointless without the whistle.
Great video lord.. Have an 856xl
. wish it sounded like that😕
Ah they never had that note !
Kenny Barrett I spent summer on a 856xl the noise it made when braking was something I’ve never heard before the only way I can describe it is a ceramic sound that can be heard from 300 meters away

Certainly sounds well Mickey !
👍
Kurt do you have any of your own land that you farm?
No William, I like to make money, not lose it....
Used to contract farm a good few acres though.
Be nice to see a working comparison between the 956 and the 3350 sometime
I reckon that will be on the cards Andrew...
comparison should be between 956-3050 or 1056-3350
Wish I had 2 cylinders more😂
good morning mate
Morning Stevey !
Lord Muck I got something in the mail this morning not sure what it is. il do a live video of it today and the opening of it.
It's a used condom Stevey - take real good care of it...
I'll try to make sure I'm watching buddy.
In the lower revs it kind of sounds like a Dodge Challenger srt hellcat

Less HP Than a FORD 7810 But would eat on for breakfast lower link sensing 6000Kg lift capacity
That is exactly how we had to drive,, people with sat navs
Nice one Mucker. My first Job at 14 with good old man Tony Kirby gob bless him we had one these and it was our all rounder. We had engine upgrade and got 106hp. Poor girl was exhausted by time she was retired and last time saw her she was pulling header trailer and was used on the blower. Thanks old lady for being my first allocated Tractor. I didn't care what she was or how old she was she was mine and I treated her better then I did my girlfriend at the time lol?
Wot age is the tractor. Becauses even thought I now she get refurbished. She don't look bad for her age.
About 1985 I think Matt
Lord Muck cool she sounds the business but the jd beats it sound wise.
bumble matt
the year of manufacture is stamped on the face of the rear hubs close to the wheel nuts,one of the best tractors ever built,have a late 956 myself.
Looks a bit choppy in there.
Although not smooth Ant, I think the GoPro accentuates the movement more than it really was.
I once drove the smaller IH, discing and found my knees got so bashed on the dash that it was a job to stand up after. Was a much easier ride in my MF1200. You have done some good videos this year.
Funny you mentioned that Ant, can you remember though when ploughing in a 1200/50 how your right knee smacked the edge of that bloody column on the seat/linkage control ?
Yes see what you mean, it is a bit pointy, the good thing with the 1200s is you can drive them sitting a lot of different ways, unlike the small IH where your feet have to stay in the same place. Have a look at my you tube channel to see my 1200s working.
