IH international 1055

[Shanefoley]

Hi everyone.
I bought a project a 1055 international late 1980s 4wd
My problem is the cab, full it has rust worm. I dnt no the name of the type of the cab iv got. The cab is gone to far to fix.
I was woundering do u no if a 956xl or 1056xl cab or so fit my 1055. What has to b changed to make it fit. The cab is not the full red one with the white top. My gear stick is in the centre of the cab. The xl are over to the right bside the door.
Or what international cab would fix. Thanks for your time

If it's late '80s I'd be surprised if it's a 1055.
On another thread I've just put this picture of my 1983 1056XL I'm working on later this winter.

It's one of the first 56s, and as far as I know they stopped the smaller 55s when these came out in '83.

Someone else might know the difference in mounts etc, but as far as I know all the XL cabs were the same basic frame.

Cool thanks for the reply and info. im only a member today. My one is the older yes and is 1055. Am i dnt no the year yet as im waiting for the log box. The man i bought it of said it was the last of the 55s before the 56 came out. I dnt no for sure how old it is. Nice project u have. Il try and get a picture uploaded soon as i can. The cab u have is called xl cab?? Is that right. Im cnt find the name on the older cab anywhere.

Are you on Facebook?
There's a group dedicated to 6 cylinder IH tractors on there, with some very knowledgeable people.

Stick some photos on there (and here!) to get a bit of interest, and you'll soon find out what you want to know.

Maybe a Tinnerman cab ? They were used before the XL

Did some of the late 55 series not have xl cab?

It will probably be the Tinnermam as mentioned, also please do join the IH 6 cylinder group on Facebook, there are so many guys in that group with decades of knowledge.
