Showing 2,761 hours and restored with great attention to detail, this 1026 is an excellent option for a collector, exhibitor, or anyone looking for a clean and capable classic Farmall. This tractor was originally sold new in New York state and brought to Minnesota by Barry Kappleman of Kiester Implement in a dealer trade. The Van Wyhes purchased it from Barry in 2016 knowing that the hydro was bad. They had the hydro rebuilt but then found a bad engine as well, the engine was then rebuilt by the Case IH dealer Hammels Equip
