[Farmall] rats + clutch = big mess

[Jim Becker]

IH used all the names: "McCormick-Deering Industrial Tractor", the 
"McCormick-Deering 10-20 Industrial" and the "Model 20 Industrial".  From 
what I have found, all 3 names were used at various times for what was 
essentially an unchanged tractor.  The introduction of an industrial version 
of the 15-30 probably prompted a change to a name that included "10-20" or 
"20".  There are vintage pictures in the July-August Red Power Magazine.
