other dog Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I saw this truck sitting off of rt. 19 just north of Summersville, W.V. a while back. I thought it was the extremely rare, seldom seen, and never photographed International Payhauler, but I wasn't sure.It was parked way down yonder off a side road, hard to see, much less get a picture of. I tried and failed several times to get a picture while driving up rt. 19.Yesterday I was coming south, it was pretty early, so I decided to stop and check it out. I was going to pull off on the ramp at the Muddelty exit and walk over to it but that was a lot of work, so I took a left, then a right onto the road where the truck was sitting. I thought it would bring me back out onto 19 but as soon as I turned I saw a "Dead End" sign. So I kept going anyway of course, figuring i'd figure something out.I passed the truck, then turned left into a dirt road, went down a little ways and found another gravel road I could back into to turn around. I took some pictures from where I turned around, then more from the road on the way out.By now I wasn't even sure if it was a Pay Hauler or not, because I didn't see an IH on the grill or International on it anywhere. I was probably 300 yards or more from it where I turned around, and close to 100 yards from it where I stopped in the road.I didn't positively identify it until today when I could see the big picture, and it is indeed a Pay Hauler 350. Now I wish i'd walked through the woods and briar patch over to it and got a really close look. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Timothy Maikshilo Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Very nice. I like how far the axle is set back. Would look good in your front yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olivetroad Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 In the first photo, it looks like someone drove it like I would - up to axle deep in fill. I see a big metal thing like that and my right hand starts to go on autopilot and compress the oxygen lever on the imaginary torch I am holding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joes mack Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 one of the companies i used to work for had 4 of these 3 had cummins engines and 1 had 2 detroits 6v92s i think. one turned normal and the other turned backwards they were mounted flywheel to flywheel with a gearbox inbetween them. if you had a big enough sack of marbels they would go anywhere if it was dry. but if it was wet you couldnt pay for a ride like you would take in them on a small hill. the biggest prob we had out of them were the front springs if you hit a bump or a hole too fast it would break the springs.

I just watched it and I forgot the name of the coal co. already. Thought maybe it was where you worked. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 I ordered a DVD from Farmington Implement Co. called 70 Years of International Harvester, got segments about the Payhauler, Scouts, snow fighters, the LCD 405, and more stuff. Pretty good video, the Payhauler part is from 1976, Scout from 1959-1960, snow fighters is from 1938, the LCD 405 is from 1952. I think I ordered it out of a Wheels of Time magazine.
