the bottom picture is when my 956 first came home.

the 1056 is totally original only the wheels have been painted

we used to own a 4wd 956xl but was sold some years ago and a 785xl and 885xl were purchased now the 785 and 885 are now sold for the 2wd 956

i used a case 1056 for mowing 2,500 acres of silage in the 80s.. brill tractor ,,the ole bus would go anywere and hold the banks

[case 1056xl mad]

our 1056 doesn't see much work as we only have 11 acre but it bales 5 acre and does some road work never in winter time though as the salt on the roads will just rot the rear wings and as i said it is mint. the front linkage was made by my dad

Very nice fleet cannot beat them! Raw power 

Where i work we have an 956 and 856 both 4wd

the 956 has done 12.000 hours and still starts of the button and runs great

Great to see some old iron still going strong! Will you be converting a Britains 956XL to 2wd to represent the real one?

[case 1056xl mad]

i already have a 2wd 956 it was originally a 1056 4wd but now has a 2wd front axel and 956xl decals it is a great conversion and i believe Dave towse made it as i bought it of ebay ;D
