[Farmall] IHC truck and tractor

[Rob Johnson]

Interesting ! , did you get anywhere near the record ?.
No , I haven't seen "the castle" , but there is a Super 90 and a KW with an 
8v71 in it on the farm next door , and there has been a bloke with a C 
series Inter with a 6v53 and Allison getting around here , carting water .
Big twin stacks , but he kept on blowing out the mufflers , you could hear 
that GM for miles !.
