black knights what all models?

[casered]

As more of an IH guy I frequent red power magazine a lot. A post appeared this afternoon with a picture of what is at least a 1270. I just can"t find any info anywhere as to the models bigger than an 1170 that were built as a black knight. What model am I looking at or is it even an original factory build?

The pic that was posted from Red Power, was of a want-to-be BK, The open 4 post ROPS and wide opening at ther door would indicate that it was a 12-1570, wide hood and larger cab opening. the bigest 2WD drive tractors were 1170"s. which had a door opening,only on the left side and much smaller than the opening pictured on the RH side. The bigest 4WD drives were 1470"s.
The 12-1570 were not built until later years. 1972 and after, were never built as a BK. The Desert Sunset paint scheme was replaced with Power White in 1974/5.

Thanks, that's what I thought but wanted to be sure I was right. I knew by the picture it was a 12-15 as I could tell it was a wide hood model. We used to have a 78 model 1270, what a machine! I wish some days we still had it even though we are getting out of farming at the moment and selling equipment.
