Hi everybody, I just joined. I came across the forum when I was researching the JCB 1400B that I should be bringing home pretty soon. It is a 1986, naturally aspirated, 2wd machine with an enclosed cab and a 6 in 1 bucket. It was abandoned on a property that my co-worker bought, so I got a pretty good deal on it. I got it started yesterday and it looks like all the major stuff works after sitting for a two + years. The tachometer is in-op though, most of the hydraulic cylinders seem to be leaking, and the left side cab glass is missing. I'm pretty excited to be getting it though.
I also have a 1966 IH 424, gas tractor with a loader that has been doing all the heavy lifting at the horse boarding facility the wife and I run.
