[AT] Cub

[John Hall]

IH used some very similar flathead Continentals on balers and probably 
combines. To the best of my knowledge the Cub engine was an IH design, 
at least I never heard my dad say otherwise---nor did I ever stumble 
across anything at the dealership indicating . Would be interested as 
well to know if IH had any outside input on designing and building it.
