Does anyone know if theres any collector interest in these tractors. Especially if they still have the Spanish decals on them. Thanks Tony

A truly regional thing, we sometimes see a tractor with all French decals, which came out of Quebec.

As you can see they are viewed with some derision, but I don't know why. They are a prime example of what we SHOULD be doing, which is building things for export.
I wouldn't mind one if you could find one in decent shape, but I'd put it in the field and use it. No cab and no TA would make it practically bulletproof, and I'm pretty sure I could figure out how to use it even if everything is marked in Spanish.

There should be some 986's & 1486's too. I worked at FARMALL when all 3-4 batches of the TACO TRACTORS were built. I was responsible for ALL the tires, wheels, & rims, think I ordered the Spanish operator manuals too, plus the clutch disks & pressure plates, all the o-rings, and some other stuff. We were crazy busy building everything, so that 5-6 years later we could all be looking for work.
SON worked for the big construction equipment plant by the intersection of US Rt 67 and I-80, for TEN years, I've had people try to explain the way Deere's purchased part replenishment system works, and ALL I can say is it barely works, The plant SON worked at missed parts on the assembly line because welded assemblies couldn't be painted. SON was under the personal supervision of the plant manager for a couple months specifically to inspect incomplete endloaders that finally had the last parts installed so they could be shipped. THINK there was over 500 loaders short parts waiting to be completed and ship. At FARMALL that would have caused massive firings, you got the parts to the line on time or somebody ELSE would be doing your job tomorrow. We kept assembly going in spite major winter storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, and we were greatly appreciated because of the dedication and Accept NO Excuses way we got parts in. IH actually bought our whole department and our spouces, and all our managers a fine dinner at the Plantation Restaurant as reward for our job well done winter of 1979 & 1980. I NEVER heard of anything like that at Deere. GUESS I never would have fit in at any Deere plant. NO way could IH ship something with a bunch of I owe you slips in place of missing parts. IT'S amazing how much better it is to Build it right the first time than to rework it a couple times before it ships.

Pretty sure numbers are universal.
You one of those guys who can't figure out what to do when you encounter a red 8-sided sign that says "ALTO" on it at a street corner?

International died and the dog bought them.
How does your rant corresponds to the OP's message?

I just bought one for a parts tractor. I was just curious about how many were out there. By the way if someone wants to write in another language they should at least check the spelling.
