I remember one of those little one lunger IH engines being used on a grain cleaner when I was a kid. Slow turning with a steaming water tank keeping it cool. 

Here is an ad that I have for the 56 series tractors.

Found on the net a link and an interesting video on the company International Harvester.

My uncle and his brother bought one of those case balers new late 30's early 40's to do custom baling. They had their dad on the tractor and those two sat on the back passing the wire thru. He said every time that plunger hit to got a facefull of dust. He said it was miserable. He died 3 years ago at age 99 so it didn't hurt him to bad.

I don't know if it took 3 people,but dad and 2 neighbors had a Case like that. I never saw it run. The senior member that was least mechanical had it in his yard. Covered in sheets of tin boards and old tarps other had thrown away. May have a bundle of bale wire pre cut with a eye twisted i one end. A kid wanted the old Wisconsin on it and dad got $25 I think for his share in 1975 or so.

Case did not have a wire twister. The two guys on back would put in the wood block between bales and pass the wire across thru spacers in the block and hand twist the wire. Case was always on the cutting edge of technology.

I spent many hours for a few summers twisting wires on  Case Hand Tie baler.  Not exactly fun.
