John I should have read this before I posted my last reply!

There are some newer, big IH tractors around with very few hours, practically NOS.  The last 5488 built at the time of the merger has only a few hundred.  IIRC there is a 1586 in CaseIH's possession that was part of a museum exhibit in Chicago that has nearly no hours.
