- Slideshow and and information video on the IH 1468. I do not own all the photos in this video and some are from the Internet , Wisconsin Historical Socicty and my own personal photos. Thanks for watching
IH definitely made a statement with this tractor. It went something like THIS IS WHAT #1 LOOKS LIKE. I still think it’s the coolest tractor ever built.
Is it any cooler looking than a V8 Oliver? The Oliver Air cleaner was pretty neat. They are both decent tractors, equipped with colossal boat anchors for engines. The Massey was hot wet garbage in every respect.
@@randymagnum143 haven’t seen the Oliver & I didn’t even know Massy made a V8. Lots of people didn’t like the IH , but it made a statement, plus all that chrome .
I was 14 years old when I got to drive a 1468 for the first time!! 1976 2nd time I drove it there was a 5 bottom plow behind IT ❤😊😊😊😊😊
I have a 1973 Buyer's Guide since 1973. I thought the 1468 on the back cover was one of the coolest tractors I'd ever seen. I still do even though I'm an Oliver-built Cockshutt guy. Those twin heat shield stacks and manifold covers just rocked.
Had one, with 23.4 x 34s + duals, the deluxe cab, and chrome everything. Gave me fond memories of a very cool beast. Hi and low range + reverse with a syncromesh 4 speed shift that would let it run up to 30 mph at full roar. Amused onlookers to see it go through 4 gears in reverse. Torque amplifiers were a weak point in that whole tractor series so we tried to avoid using the T/A under load. I think most ended up repowered with the 6 cylinder from the 1466 since the V8 wasn't a big success.
love thst video. awsome ol tractor
Great videos! 5 stars. I have a 1468 and it is a monster to run, I love useing it. I have some videos of it chopping corn and hopfully i'll get some cultivating videos up real soon. There is no other engine out there that sounds as nice as that old DV550.
I'm an Oliver/White guy by nature, and the 2255 is my choice in the V8 muscle tractors. That said, I have to admit, and without any grudge, that the 1468/1568 tractors had the coolness factor down pat, and they OWNED the V8 tractor image.
The 1150/1155/2255/2-180 tractors just didn't have the 'Prestige', as IH put it in their sales literature, of the 1468/1568 models. The dual chrome stacks and the chrome manifold heat guards just totally set them off and set them apart.
We all know a well tuned 1466 will out pull a '68, BUT! The DV550-1468 has a way better COOL factor that has never been matched. Great video by the way!
Farm Country LLC Does a Kinze repower with a Detroit count?
All depends? 1466 &1468 were factory built units. Any corncob with a stick welder and an old bus engine can make a V8 anything.
@BriggsStratton11 Thanks Ive drove a tractor like this before its something else to hear it pull with those duals.
I’d love to see one of them pulling and just listen to that V8 going down the track
I love the 1468's and would love to get one. I have never seen one in my area. We have a Loadstar 1850 with the DV 550. Nothing sounds like them.
I no joke have that tractor as my background it's a beauty
@NomaDairy Yeah they are and a nice sound they make too.
Great vid of this monster! Thanks
I had an uncle with the 1468 they put turbos on each Bank it was a horse
i have a cuz that has a 1568 that was a demo for IH and he bought it and was working it and blow it like 5 times so he just put it away its got like 1000 hours on it
no cab on one I operated. didn't need a/c it would disc so fast made a breeze
Yes Jose , you farm and I heat it, again thanks a farmer for the food on our table, forget the good lord!
very well done! those are beasts of tractors I'll bet
Beautiful machine, you know as you mention it it does look like a "ROD" a Farm Rod with the big engine and the chrome exhaust stacks, NICE! So how'd it do in the field?
Terrible, no torque. You drop below 1800 and you'll be grabbing the gear shift and hitting the clutch. I had a 1568 bigger reared and axles rated at 161 hp. But a 1066 would out pull it. Should have put twin turbochargers on it. I think the 10 had more torque because of a longer stroke.
IHC rules!
I was 12 years old farmed on my weekends on a 1468 ih or a jd 4020 for gene field farms decker chapel Indiana me and blaine
all i have close to that is a 1086 if ya count that or the oliver2255.do you own a 1468 or is this just a contribute vid,just wondering
Clay Smith, they did poorly in the field with a really bad reputation for blowing pistons.
lego man, the 1155 was rated at around 140 HP.
the IH 66 series was started in 72
@MRcubcadet107 No I wish I had one.
I ran one back in the day with straight pipes and no cab.....huh....?
remember plowing with gene field farms decker Indiana come out of end row drop plow in with torque amplifier back then shove her forward and this tractor would roar thanks big gene little jim said that 10 year old at time
The image at 0:48 is interesting - a 1468 with Front Wheel Assist (Coleman Axle option) and at 1:00 a "Turbo" decal on the hood. IH never built a Turbocharged version. There was apparently a brochure with a photo of the 1468 fitted with a 1466 (Turbo 6 cylinder) hood.- prototype perhaps - it still causes arguments about this tractor.
My life is farming.
she would run on 4 till you socked the 6 bottom plow in then this tractor would roar then you would throw torque amplifier forward then she would be gone on all 8 thanks big gene corbin Eugene field sr.
DV550 looked good. Sounded good. But ultimately performed bad. Funny how a tractor can come out, everyone gets excited about it. Until they take them home and experience problems. Then the tractor gets a bad reputation and sales plummet. Skip forward 30 years, everyone loves it again, thinks they’re awesome, and will pay a premium for one.
