I posted an article Sat or Sun on the IH tractor thread regarding the rise and fall of IH, I think it is titled The rise and fall of IH or something close to that

Binder here too.

My dad had a 66 Corn Binder pickup. It was his company truck. The company did away with company trucks in 70 and just gave it to him. He kept it until the gas lines in 73. It only had a 19 gallon tank and got about 6 MPG. Not good for gas lines. That big V8 and 4 speed with low gears could pull anything.

In 1970 I worked alongside a Carpenter with one of those. It had a bed longer than 9 ft, I think 10 ft, and he said IH was the only pickup offering that.

Another great but forgotten pickup was the Studebaker, in particular the early-50's rounded ones. A friend with a small-engine repair shop had one restored to immaculate, and a second one in decent used condition. Both were obvious classics. But I never saw them leave his shop.

I read a book about the history of CASE. My God that was complicated.

If it fits, it sits.

If they’re all the same weight as that Komatsu 200 that’s 172,000 pounds. I’m surprised the trailer isn’t bent.

What if they don't have engines?

 

[4570Man]

I’m guessing they do otherwise you’d be in a real treat to load them like that but the engine and pumps is probably 3,000 out of the 43,000 so not a significant savings.

they put some thought into it.. Blocks on the one with the tracks above the wheels. Blocked so the nose of one fits under the other. The one over the fifth wheel must tilt backwards and that is why the chain is there. I wonder where they put the boom arms? Did they take the buckets off?
