found this I9 in NH the guy also has a 600 Diesel for sale also and a I think was a 656 gas also.I have a couple of questions about it it has a hyd foot brake 1 pedel and a backing plate and drum on bolth rear wheels and has a handle for each regular rear brakes on each side of tractor can see in pics and a front end that looks like it might have been an aftermarket option anyone know about these thing as far as I can tell it is a 1943 the casting #"s on the block are the same as the 1945 I9 we have and the rear end housing looks the same as out I9 but has tapped out holes in the bosses that the 45 just has the cast bosses but no holes told my dad this tractor is going to be for my daughter she has a few years to grow into it she was just born in August

From what I can see in the picture it looks like s nice complete and straight tractor. Didn't realze that when you have the hydraulic brakes you also have the standard vrakes also. The front axle would be a factory option for this model. Congrats on a nice clean original I-9.

I'm surprised you didn't load up the 600D. There was enough room on the trailer. You must have six or seven 9 series now.

That straight axle was also on my I-9 and fitted with 20" rubber.

The individual hand brakes must be for turning. The single pedal was the service brake. The hydraulic brakes are better for road travel in fifth. Bet those hydraulic brakes came from the truck plant. Probably K-6 or bigger.

I also responded to your post at the RPM forum.

Yes Wardner we also looked at the 600d but the price just wasn't right plus the I9 was a cleaner looking tractor real nice tin owner said it was sitting for 20 years in a shed liked it because it was different but the same model we have >we have a few 9's now hope to have 4 running soon 2 I9's and a wd9 and SWD9 the 2 we picked up in new york are parts for the others we have as the wd9 has a noisy tranmission and no hyd or belt pully gearbox and the parts 9's have em

Did you have a look at the 656 by chance ?? What was he looking to get for it ??

Dave Eklund · Sep 6, 2011

looked at it enough to notice spark plugs thought that big of tractor would have been a diesel not gas think he said it had clutch issues didn't ask more send me an email and I can get you his # the tractor is about 30 miles north of concord NH
