I love the old IH trucks. I worked for some farmers/dairymen most of my childhood and they owned one and it was a serious workhorse. Later when I looked back on what we put that truck through it surprises me that it kept going ... until one day it was parked up next to a fence that was nailed to a huge old longleaf pine and the pine got hit with lightning and before we knew it that old IH was fully engaged in fire. I guess there was just enough oil and grease from all those years to make it a torch. That same lightning strike killed 3 Holstein cows who were next to the fence.
I'd love to have that! No computers and no tracking! You can fix those old cornbinders with a crescent wrench and a screw driver.
