Mini 1466 clone

How tall do those measure mounted?

Overall height before mounting on the Cub were right at 27" - although I never checked the air pressure. I had the local Goodyear guy mount them for me for $15. I'd guess the air pressure would be approx 15psi

Do I put fluid inside them? I think I'll just stack a few weights on these. Here is a template of the wheel weights I designed. These are 7 gage I think, they weighed in at 2 pounds each

Weights look GREAT

Now if you could get them flame cut out of 2" plate....

Couple more pics. If my regular job and my Pro Shop were a bit less busy I’d have this done. I’m hoping to drive this Easter weekend. The 10.5-23x12 ags are a bit short compared to the new Ags View attachment 142565View attachment 142567View attachment 142568

Where did you get your front weights? Did you make them or get them from a supplier? I like the colour of them!

I drew them up and had a guy cut them, turned out much better than I had planned

Here is an update. The hood, dash, Fenders, and seat frame are just setting on it. The 128 dash is in horrible shape, I need to find another. There's more little issues than I planned but it'll get done at some point. Hopefully this coming Saturday I will turn the key and see if it starts and moves. The 2 colors are looking really nice, maybe I should leave it red and cream colored versus IH '66 colors

Looks a lot like a 5 Millionth 1066 to me.....I'd leave the tins white and get custom decals made....would be really sharp!

I have to agree with Steve. I have been considering doing this my self. Found this image on Pinterest

I vote for leaving it with the red and cream colors!!!!

 

[kmcconaughey]

I agree, red and cream (white).

Steve B., have you started on the 4wd yet?

 

[vthomley]

Might have to change the name of this to Mini 1066 special or something.

Here’s a couple more pics of the mini 5Mill and my own mini 66 series

I agree with Steve, the colours look good. Hell, it ALL looks good! Nice job! Very slick. Everything just works on it to me. I'd love to have a tractor like that to work around yard and pick rocks in the bean fields. Real head turner!

Wow IHinIN, do you have details on the hood? Looks like I need to repaint my rims, n more.

I am thinking my 2nd 128 will be the Mini 1466 in time, this current one will now stay close to the color it is. Meaning sometime in the next 4 years or so

I'm going against the popular vote. I never did care for the special paint schemes IH used to commemorate special editions. I like the red / white / black.

And good grief, this should be censored..

Just too darn hot!!!

5 days away from a plow day and I still have some major things to do, and some issues. Anyone know where I put the link for the internal brake, the link from the clutch/brake pedal to the trans. Seems I remember I need to modify it but I have to find it first, guess this is what happens with a 4 year build, having moved to a new house during the move. Also missing is the rear lift bar attachment block, might have to borrow this from the 149

I got a K301 installed an started on Saturday. Got the 2nd wiring harness installed, I'm wondering why I had not bought a new wiring harness from Charlie, will do this in the future. at some point. The wiring harness in this 128 was in poor condition. Clutch and rive shaft all worked fine. I will have the fenders aligned and mounted tonight I think.

Did you get it back together for the plow day?

I have no info on the hood on the mini 5 Mil tractor, just the pics.

Sorry I have been slacking on an update. I plowed with this on Saturday. The 1st time I drove it was on Saturday morning at 5am driving it out of my garage and onto the trailer. I proceeded to slam into my dads 149 on the trailer due to the clutch not releasing, and I missed the key when trying to turn if off in the dark. On Friday of last week I 90% finished putting this together, then I started the engine and found the clutch was not releasing. The clutch disc was loose when I pressed down the clutch pedal but the driveshaft would not stop, I adjusted the internal brake tighter and it still did not release. After plowing a bit Saturday morning the clutch performed like it should. I bought a 2 bottom Cat 0 plow so I guess I am buying a Xtreme Cat o 3 point hitch to use at a Plowday this fall. 1st pic is what it looked like Wed April 7th. This was and is quite the project.

Vince, that looks great!
