leeave96 97 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Paint around the front windshield, the surface where the wiper and top two amber cab lights are located and down the sides of the windshield - always black or sometimes white? I see them on Craigslist painted both ways. I'm thinking one is a re-paint? Link to post Share on other sites

That was the factory skids the East Moline plant shipped them to Farmall on. Company I drove OtR for had the contract of hauling the cabs along with lots of other cartage work for IH. They bought two new Fruehauf 53 ft trailers just to haul cabs on those skids. I forget if the old trailers were 45 or 48 ft. The driver's chained the last cab in with chains bolted to the sides of the trailers, the skids sat on roller conveyors, one person could push a load of 7-8 cabs off in a couple minutes. Cabs were stored at Farmall in the basement under the Finish assembly line. Lots of pictures of the hoists used to lift the cabs out of the basement, up to the rafters of the plant, match speed with the assembly line and lower the cab onto the tractor with very little hand labor to jiggle it into place.
