Just got done with the latest Red Power. 2nd to last page in the photo classifieds is your chance to own this one of a kind tractor! Only 22,500obo....

Good for a laugh on the 1st day of the new year!

Cory McCracken

P.S. it is a pretty tractor
 
Just started reading my copy. Wonder what the serial number is LOL.

Remember talking with another spectator at the begining of the WHO ride a number of years back. He was telling me he never knew that IH made a HTA. I told him they didn't. He said there was one three rows over. I suggested he go back and find the serial tag. Wound up we both met again at said tractor. Of course there was no tag, I told him there are a number of these out there where guys took a super H and a 300 and made a HTA out of them.

Will have to page back and look the next time I am in my reading room, LOL

Last laugh mite be on you as one sold couple yrs ago for 18,500 with complete video and parts list of how to do it. There are those out there who want one and are willing to pay the price.
 
Unless it's a hologram, it is a real tractor. You can touch it, drive it, farm with it.

He's probably got at least $22,500 in it in parts and professional labor.

My view on it is this: If God didn't want you to bolt odd combinations together to make custom tractors, he wouldn't have inspired the whole idea of interchangeable parts.

If I had the time I would make one, provided I could do it without destroying two good tractors. Cost to build would not be too much more than restoring a H or 300, which are easy to get $6000 into. Should be able to do it for less than $10000, based on what my restorations cost. Nothing wrong with an SHTA as long as the builder doesn't pass it off as original.
 
Some builders of those type tractors have a special serial # plate made up, so they may find one. Wonder if thats the same tractor that was at a Mount pleasnt Iowa red power round up in the past.
 
Wow have times changed! A few months ago, the owner would have been blasted for selling a "fake" tractor. Now everyone rushes to his defense. I guess next year IH really did make one, and not just the prototypes.

I'm still going to blast those who destroy 2 very restorable tractors to build just 1 frankenstein, and since this one is a diesel, someone probably destroyed 3 tractors.
 
Mister T..If I had two junk tractors and decided to
build something like that instead of scrapping
them,would that be a bad thing?I AM building
sometghing like that! A "hotrod" F12 powered with a
V6.Also has Combine tires and a wide front from a
Super C.... Tractor was 'engineless' and had not
moved in over 50/60 years,the engine came out of a
'totaled' car."No tractors were harmed in this
project".Imagination is what this world is made
of.....
 
I am SHOCKED as to how many time this very subject keeps popping up on this very forum.:(

I believe the ORIGINAl IH proto type/proto types were destroyed? (I believe Mr. Nicholson posted a photo on here of one of the original IH "test mules" awhile back?)

I personally would not waste a perfectly good 300 AND an H to build one,but if one had 2 junk tractors/parts tractors and built one,I would have no issue with it.I sure as HE!! would not be stupid and try to pass it off as factory though!!!! LMAO!

I have the prototype photos in my photobucket. Note, it is actually an H not an SH.

I have no problem whatsoever with combining the GOOD parts from several different, derelict, will never run again, tractors, cars, etc., and assembling them all into one very useable machine. The American farmer has been doing that very thing for several generations now and quite a few of those creations made a real impact in the agriculture industry. If it weren't for a certain blacksmith/tinkerer named Cyrus McCormick, we may not have the modern combine of today.

I also do not have a problem with installing a Chevy V8 engine into a Farmall M with an original engine that is just total scrap iron, but I DO have a problem when I see a Farmall 300 that runs just fine and is a fine looking tractor with relatively LOW production numbers, turned into a tractor that looks just like any other Farmall H of which 350,000 were produced and most of them still exist.
 
I agree it is sad when someone destroys two (or one)
good tractors.But it's their tractor,they can do
whatever....That kind of thing is done every
day.People make "pulling tractors"all the time,no
one seems to say a thing about that practice.It is
sad to destroy a good tractor when there are
hundreds of 'junkers' being scrapped every day.

There's so many salvage yards out there, no reason at all to destroy two tractors.
 
Guys, Proves the theory of interchangeable parts., A Fool and is Money are easily separated! and Also anything can be done with enough time and Money!!
I am toe to toe with all Y'all about this being a frankenstien tractor. But I agree I would never Knock-in-Head a decent tractor/s to build Frankenstein! He Found dead tractors first, so he in is mind must not have thought he was Killing a perfectly good tractor!
Though I Know of 2 units I would like to build But were NOT Factory built,
#1- 64-66 Chevy PU C-30 4x4 (has the 9 ft long narrow bed!
#2- 73-79 F-350, Super Camper Special, 140 in.wb.
4x4 (this bed has the Spare, mounted behind a removable 1/4 panel in front of RR tire)
Both units would require 2 trucks to build 1. The #1 would be the large loss for C-30 long narrow bed, and a 3/4 4x4s are scarcer than Hens teeth!
Back to my opening statement.....
Anything can be built, with enough time and money, and the money is separated from that man!

He didn't destroy them. They are all there and there better than ever in a restored machine.
 
I attended a sale in Danbury,Ia where several well done SHTA sold.Jon Kinzebaw was a friend and had helped with making the top of transmission look stock.They sold well it seems over $10,000 and everyone there thought it was a a very unique tractor.I think the 1206,1456.1256 all brought $30,000 each and they would have been hard to fault.
 
Guys, Back up on Tractor Talk,,, Another shining example of not thinking! Some guy has butchered a more rare tractor (350 LP) took the head, just to get extra Hp out of a run of the mill gas SH. Go figure! jmo!

Without knowing more I think you should give that person a break. Didn't see anything to say he removed the head from a good tractor. Maybe someone else parted it and he bought the head.
Maybe i'm wrong or missed the part that he parted a good tractor for just the head. I don't know the story.
 
I saw this at a local show. I get building a tractor out of parts and modifying it to be useful.. I don't understand the white paint.

John, you reminded me of a neighbor back in the 70"s who built a 66 Chevy 3/4 4x4 (his was a long wide bed). If I run into him again I want to ask him if the truck was factory, or he actually took multiple trucks to build. I believe he rebuilt a total. Either way, he kept that truck many years, and I know he probably repainted it 2 or 3 times after the original rebuild. Not sure what type drivetrain it had, but the truck always had a gear whine to it like no other truck around, but then again I had nothing to compare it to as that was one of the few 4x4 pickups from that era around. Almost had to be the transfer case whining, as there were a lot of 4 speed trucks around but none whined like that?
 
i have a HTA --all fromm parts tractors-- power steering--3PT--tach--live hydraulics--fenders--standard drawbar-you name it-it has it--some one got 10 big ones they can come to my place--and i will load it --may even haul it-- WOW!!
 
Ron,In the 64/66 series pickups there were less than 10,000 total units built, Factory with 4x4. (That is 1/2 & 3/4 tons, 1 ton were not put into production till late 67/72 series, maybe some later>) All factory units in the 60/66 series were Divorced Transfer cases. The Married units started with the 67series and went on from there >.
FYI Ford didn't drop the Divorced systems till about 78.
If you see a 64 to 66 pickup with a married unit underneath 99% probability that body is sitting on another frame from a donor truck!
