International produced two (2) models with a V8 engine - 1468 which was replaced by the 1568. They both used the IH DV-550 (549ci) engine. Under light load operation, the engine ran on 4 cylinders. These models were only in production for a few years and are HIGHLY collectible. http://www.tractorshop.com/articles/ih.html International offered V8 engines in their articulated 4WD tractors. Massey Ferguson offered a factory Perkins V8 in a few models of straight frame tractors. They also used the CAT 3208 in an articulated 4WD tractor. Oliver and White offered a CAT V8 engine. John Deere never offered a factory V8 in any of their straight frame tractors. They did offer their own V8 in an articulated 4WD tractor. Allis-Chalmers and Steiger offered several articulated 4WD models with V8 engines.

OD - you need to photochop Vinny in the second pic.

Nutin' but trucks and wimmin!

David - good job on the training!

Hmmm. That can be interpreted both ways (child abuse or well you know). I bet the show writers never thought about his nickname. Back then I bet the "beaver" was furry.

This is just another episode of the government soap opera...."Lyin' Politicians". They are good at pointing fingers. I say clean house! Term limits, no re-election, no beney's. Maybe they will once again remember us (the ones who are paying the bills).

Nice pics of nice trucks. I especially like the R with the V8. Thanks!

Maybe you can give them a visit and post some pics. Shipping Wars? No comment!

Happy Birthday Rob!

I like the R tractors with tank trailers. I find it interesting that fire companies actually used "semis". Did they have a manual or automatic transmission?

This topic kinda died (perhaps I should let it rest in peace) but.... Lining up early for Obummer's Inauguration

What RandyP said. The envelope icon in the black bar at the very top of the page (left or your profile name) will show a red box with a number in it (the number indicates the number of replies).

x2 Sorry to hear of your misfortune.

And it is only 9am (eastern time)....

An early day "glider kit"?

Amen again!! Seems like everything is being exported...jobs, technical knowledge, manufacturing, and the list continues. We as a country are "selling out" to non-US entities. Is there anything left that is wholely US owned? What happened to American Ingenuity, Manufacturing, and PRIDE! I read an article that PA is "selling" the lottery to Great Britian! Say what!?!?!?! Indiana leased their turnpike to a foreign investor. But the bottom line is MONEY and politics. I hate to say it but I am glad I am getting old. End of my rant for the day!

Amen!!!! That is what happened my last MH...had it advertised on CL....US guy told me he was going to use it....use it to export! It is a free world so once I have the money and they have the title...they can do as they please. But I will NOT KNOWINGLY sell to an exporter.

Pleading ignorance (which is not hard to do most of the time)....what is the purpose of a BCR? If I understand the nomenclature...a B chassis with a R cab and hood? Was this a factory setup?

You will know if you have diabetes....get up every hour to pee.

What is the dinger bell looking thing on the dash just above the speedometer?

WTF!

Dang! I reached my quota of "likes" for the day (didn't keep count). But I like the pair in the pink t-shirt.

Did the sauce eat a hole in the floor?

Anyone know the "like" daily limit?
