International 756 is the next tractor on the place. Scratches a few itches. Gas tractor, higher hp (read discbine potential), somewhat an antique - gives us a 3rd tractor when making hay, allowing some flexibility with which tractor keeps an attachment. Cold weather starting, not an issue, no diesel wet stacking when putting around in the winter and hauling firewood.
On the list: Tune up, fresh fluids, filters and gas. 99% I'll swap in a wide front for stability, though I like the manuverability of the narrow front and tires.
Tractor starts very well (especially when the fuel is turned on.... ), seems to run OK, no piston slap or knocks. Has a tad bit of smoke out the breather at idle, seems to clear up at higher rpms. Haven't put it under load. Seller said it used some oil, but not like an old car where you added oil every time you drove it. Transmission shifts good, no clanging in reverse. Does not have TA - factory delete based on serial number. Brakes good. PTO works (both 540 and 1000) as does the 3pt hitch (does not have a fast hitch). First impression is - it seems somewhat field ready - we'll see.
I know the diesel is most desired, no more hours that we would put on this tractor, I think a gas will deliver the mail. However, if the internals of this tractor as as good as the sheet metal, I wouldn't rule out a Cummins 5.9 or International D360 transplant one of these days.
I'll have a bazillion questions on this tractor and will post over at the IH section going forward. Will also be posting on RPM too as I'd like as much info on this tractor as possible.

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
