H.L.
Your observations would sort of match with my thought of the
industrial being based a little more on being used more like a little
utility truck or Jeep might be. Lots of towing and shuttling about
rather that doing all day field work. Do a moving job and then move
quickly to another job sort of thing.

Since the VAI calls for an extra 325 RPM top engine speed maybe I
should just try to talk son Scott into selling me the one I found for
him. I don't believe he is particularly excited about it. It is stuck
but I don't "think" it has been full of water. The sheet metal is
pretty straight but is uniformly pitted all over. Not rusted through
but pitted. He was really wanting something that would be an easier
restoration. It has been sitting in the barn down the road with oil in
on top of the pistons for a year now. This VAI has an extremely heavy
looking mid mount sickle mower under it.
