Howdy folks,
I came across a tractor today that caught my
attention. After doing some research it really
has my attention but also has me puzzled. It is a
hydro 70. Walking up to it I noticed an extra
wide seat on it. I've seen these before when
dealers used them to demonstrate the tractor
(mainly on Deere tractors from the 50s). As I
looked the tractor over I found several places
where a goldish color of paint was showing under
the red. Now, I know that IH only did the gold
demonstrators in 1970 when the 826, 1456, etc.
were out and these hydro 70s were made later. Is
there some possibility that this is also a gold
demonstrator or is it just someone's gag from
years ago. I can't find anything in my books to
back it up. I'd love it if it were for real
because I might try to buy the thing. Any help
would be greatly appreciated in solving this
mystery. Thanks!
