Its possible the 70 could need the common wear parts replaced like spiral pins, tie rod ends, maybe the steering up grade, ect. . This series was the first number series IH tractor since 1910 to use a number system, and now had bearings in the front wheels. I had a 100, and that engine is the repower in my 72. Nice 70!  |
Thank you for your reply.
It seems to be a little rusty under the battery box, but otherwise it is just old, original paint. The steering is tight for an old tractor and I just need to clean out the old fluilds and crank her over. Even the tires are original! I will paint my 105 and leave this one alone.
