I ran two IHC 1800 Loadstars for years.  A '69 and a '71. Replaced with 
a '68 VF192.  One thing I learned early on from my IHC dealer was too be 
sure to have the line build sheet for the truck.  That was the one sure 
way of getting the proper parts for the proper truck.  IHC sourced parts 
from all over, and it is likely no two trucks were ever exactly alike.  
The family farm still has the VF192.  That bugger has IH rear ends.  Now 
those parts could be very hard to find these days.

A new front brake drum for the 1600 might be hard to find but not 
impossible.  However, I would think a serviceable drum could be found 
easily enough with enough time and effort to put towards it.  Front 
drums should not have a great deal of wear.  At least at the way I kept 
them set up.  But once again, the line sheet would help tremendously.
