Tractorman810 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 guys i am currently waiting for delivery of 2 manus ih kits , a 1455xl and a 845 2wd, was wondering what age these would be in real life, need to get the red paint and whtie/cream from the dealers so need a rough year of production of the real things so i can get the right shades i am aiming for the older all red version, so those ages will be perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Early to mid 80's Sean,according to Agriaffaires http://www.agriaffaires.co.uk/used/farm-tractor/989436/case-ih-1455xla.html This one even has a LaForge front linkage Regards Joe.

archbarch Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 i cant remember whether the xl range came out in 1981 or 82. The 1455xl i used to drive was 1983 on an 'a' plate the daker red wasnt used until the merger with case in 1986. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH885XLMAN Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 looks as close as a 955 with those 2 wd wheels if she was just a little bit longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 looks as close as a 955 with those 2 wd wheels if she was just a little bit longer Exactly what I thought when I saw it as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 955?? mmmmmm you recon it would pass, otherwsie its a 845s as per origonal, i guess thats a french model, wonder if i could find some info out about it, see if it may well be a french version of the 955??

nashmach Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I am just guessing now but I reckon the 845 was a 955 with a 4cyl 784 engine opened up a bit. 955 is 6cyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 what ih's would we have got with this cab then?? a early 845? or similar, i am guessing looking at a topic i have for ref on the kit, i might be able to extend the engine block to fill the gap in the front to a 6 cylinder, if the bonnet is long enough for a 955 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
