Wow.. just bought a 756 / 856 cab on ebay for $51 bucks and it's only an hour away! Hugh, I was going to follow your advice, but since it was so close, I figured I would put a small bid on it and I won. I noticed in the description it says
"IH 856 Cab above average condition we needed a cabless to fit in the barn this was a one owner tractor with very low hours and like new paint. just removed has all brackets and a tool box made for it this is the type that you do not remove your fenders or floor for...All Glass in perfect condition factory without heater or AC which is a plus no rust all paint still above average.."
Since it is the "type that you do not remove your fenders or floor for", I wonder if it is the same that Hugh modified, or if it is different and may be easier for me to deal with. As far as the backhoe goes, it has it's own seat outside, so that's no issue at all.

One other question, will I have any problem just strapping this thing onto a flatbed trailer, or do I need to bring packing material / box trailer etc?
