Very nice tractor! It will look even better with some rear ags. Very nice find with the 3 point too, I actually just got an 1812 the other day minus the 3 point and awesome radio you got, but is a dual stick. Again, congrats!

Thanks! I can't wait to find a power-angle blade for it. :bigthink:

Very Nice!! I like the Disk Harrow and the radio to boot!!

Loved the video...not bad reception! I didn't realize that those units were so big. Amazing that you can keep the dust and dirt out of it.

Very nice 1812 rig by the way!

Thanks, guys. Ill be getting a weight bracket from XtremeMotorWorks, suitcase weights, and hopefully some new tires soon. Miller tire is out of all the good kinds.

I put some Lucas Hydraulic Booster & Stop Leak in the trans, and its made a whole new beastie of it. It needs the controls adjusted, though.

We used to have a radio like that on a Ford farm tractor... It always amazed me how well it worked and how well you could actually hear it.. The case on it was black but im pretty sure it was a Motorola.. pretty sure Dad bought it new from the IH dealer in the early 80's..:beerchug::beerchug:

That's a nice tractor! Congrats!:beerchug:

Thanks, guys!

I'm looking at 26x12x12 tires, or 23x10.5x12 for it. What do you recommend? I know the Supers were geared slightly differently to account for the larger tire size, but I like the look of a larger tire on these bigger machines.

Thanks!

I put Carlisle 23x10.50 on my 1211 and I had no issues at PA plow day, I think you will find that you will need to raise the fenders to get 26x12s under them.

I've never tried it but have been told that the 26X12X12's will change the overall gearing too much on a std garden tractor.

Since you will be plowing with it I'd stick with the 23X10.50X12's to keep the gearing down where it should be.

I do like the looks of the big ones, but would be afraid of the trade offs:beerchug:

Good luck, you have a very nice tractor with nice options!:beerchug:
