kj4kicks 151 #1 Posted August 31, 2008 A big thanks to DMESS for letting me know about a big local auction today. We saw alot of high priced tractors, but this may have been the deal of the day! The only issue that I saw was a crack in the left side of the dash tower, but no big deal. It still has all 4 original logo'd tires, and the slot hitch still works ! It will be nice for the 1077 to have a big brother. More pics HERE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DOC in Kentucky 178 #10 Posted August 31, 2008 Hey Eldon, At the rate your acquiring tractors you better start thinking about another addition to the shop as the one in progress now will be full before its done Good looking horse and I am sure it will look even better when your done with it :horseplay: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kj4kicks 151 #11 Posted August 31, 2008 Thanks for the comps guys! I'm very pleased with the condition. The long block was not a deterrant. So it's not 100% original, but close enough for me! Not sure what it's fate will be. For now, it will stay in it's current condition. Despite some light rust here and there, it is pretty solid. It runs and drives great, and I can't wait to hook some other attachments to it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #12 Posted August 31, 2008 Eldon I think the long block is a plus...didn't mean it to sound like a deterant. All in all a nice early six speed...I'm envious. :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
linen beige 14 #13 Posted August 31, 2008 Another steeeeek? Could a round hood be that much further in your future? Nice, solid, straight find E! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

combatmp29r 27 #17 Posted August 31, 2008 YAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Another nice snag E!! You know you could fit a crap load of round hoods in that there new shop :USA: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DMESS 24 #18 Posted August 31, 2008 Thanks for tagging alone yesterday E. I knew you'd have a good time up there. I wish there would have been more good deals to be had, but I guess it was a hungry crowd. So much for thinking we'd have to make more than one trip. I wouldn't have even needed the trailer! That 1267 sure did drive nice! Glad I stole a test drive while you were fetching the truck. I figured you owed me at least that much! In other news, D found the parts he needs to make the Flextro 12 solid again as well as a bonus set of original "Wheel Horse" front tires/wheels for it. Not very exciting, but exactly what I needed and there was still money left over for dinner. :omg: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
combatmp29r 27 #19 Posted August 31, 2008 I need to thank the two of you for the harrow snag too. E got overzealouse and blew the budget slightly , but its all good. Really he didn't I was gonna tell you $10 higher anyhow, E was just readin my mind :USA: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DMESS 24 #20 Posted August 31, 2008 With the prices things were bringing, a budget was a lost cause. How E got the 1267 for such a good deal is beyond me. He's lucky I didn't start to bid against him! I stood there like, WTF! That's it? :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
combatmp29r 27 #21 Posted August 31, 2008 He probably hired a couple guys to threaten the other bidder whan you weren't lookin D. was the red lincoln around by chance :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BPjunk 184 #24 Posted September 1, 2008 Eldon, Sure is a lucky find ...... but jus' how lucky is what we want to know as we ain't heard a price yet! Just about all model 1267's had the same crack on the lower left hood stand (mine has the same crack). The 5060 Uni-Drive that is in the 1267 (1067 and 867) will have the positraction differential of which 1967 is the first year for the six speed. Another neat fact about the first years six speeds is this was the first year to include the lights in the hood grill BUT the hydrostatic equiped models did not get the lights and the acorn nuts on the hood latch were the "high crown" (pointy ends) and again the hydrostatics transmission models got the "low crown" acorn nuts (round tops) that were used on 1965 and 1966 year model tractors.
