[Farmall] Farmall Digest, Vol 112, Issue 5

[farmallgray at aol.com]

I really liked the book but I also found a few things that I didn't think were correct. 
One was that the 3088 was only available as an open station or ROPS tractor but not 
with a cab. I'm pretty sure my Family's dealership sold one with a cab to Penn State Univ.
Since the smaller 84 series were also available with cabs, this didn't sound right.

There was also some discrepencies about the graphics changes on the 66 and 86 series.

But overall it was a very well done book and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Lots of very
interesting info that I had never heard before.

Santy Claus brought me a copy.  So far it looks REALLY good, I have mainly 
skimmed it.  LOTS of pretty pictures.  Only disappointment I have found so far 
is it identifies the 424 as being produced at the IH plant in Germany.  It was 
actually partially built at Doncaster England, and then finished off at 
Louisville.  Oh well.  There's lots of good info about how the Magnum tractor 
was developed using the case engine and the transmission/finals that IH already 
had developed prior to the merger.
