1957
in General Chat
22 minutes ago, IHhogfarmer said:1957 IH A-160. Great-grandpa bought it new that year. Used it on the farm till they moved to town in 1980.
Did all IH trucks leave the factory as cab and chassis only? Then the customer or dealer could put whatever on the chassis.
No bodies installed at the factory except for pickups.
Some bodies were installed at the Sales Processing Centers located near the factories but not in large numbers.

The engine size and serial number are stamped on a pad on the passenger side of the engine next to the fuel pump.

Reading those makes me wonder where those kids were in 20 or 30 years.

Just read on FB, the record they set was 110 Farmalls.

It probably wasn't too bad back in the 1960s, but can you imagine trying to replace those engines today?
-
ihdealerspast.net lists Buhrman as a dealer until 1945.

Well, at least it was red!

You could mount most anything you could mount on a small tractor like a Ford 8N--plows, discs, mowers, etc. Here's a post hole digger mounted on a Scout.
Jeep extensively promoted this on their CJ with the 3 point attachment in the late 1940s and some were sold as Farm Jeeps, but they never caught on because the tractor was better suited for that use although they were offered into the 1960s. Google Farm Jeep to see more of the intended use of the hitch.

Wouldn’t that thing auto correct and get back on course?
Guidance wasn't that advanced yet. I think they launched them on a certain course and they flew for a set time and shut down to crash. Change its course and it continues in the new direction.

You just missed the Springfield show for this year. It was this weekend. It's called the Scout Nationals but includes all IH trucks.

The usual way to designate a tandem would be RDF-225. I don't know what the E means.

Until they showed how a bale was dropped and hauled away, I was wondering how you could drop a bale on a hillside like that without all of them ending up at the bottom of the hill.

Having spent the better part of a couple years 'down under' I'm sure our friends have heard it butchered many times.......it's Qantas not Kwantus. (Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Service). But, even having worked for them for a bit, I never could pronounce it like a native.
I've wondered where that name came from. But can you show us in text how it should be pronounced?

I bet that distracted the driver from his texting! Almost looks like the car in the other lane kept on going.

You might have better success if you joined the American Truck Historical Society and asked there, more collectors of that type truck there.

Is that an IH emblem on the bed rack? Did IH offer wood bed racks?
Never seen anything about bed racks in our catalogs. Owner built. I doubt if that wood is 65 years old anyway.

It’s a KB-5, 1947 or later but no automatics in them unless it was swapped long after it was built.

A 1972 Sales Data Book says the 1160 and Cummins V555 engines were options for the 2050. I don't know if the 3208 was an option in 76, but I'm sure it could be ordered if wanted.
