This truck was used on the Antigo Wisconsin potato farms as an irrigation truck after it's useful life of hauling potatoes was up. I believe it was made in 1957. The interior (sorry no pics) was olive green. It's been on the farm ever since. A collector from Wausau, WI purchased it for $1800 last week It runs great. Needs some paint. Will try to get photos of the restoration.

I drove one like that for a few weeks back in '73 or 74- I think it was a '62, and an H model.  My only exposure to the duplex trans.  Holy cow...  It was a single drive, and I remember it as riding quite nicely and being really solid.  The engine had a confident sound to it- like "I'm going to outlast you, buddy".  It did- but only because of the trans.

Anyway, there's an H model sitting down by pottstown (it's the exact same color, even!).  It's parked by the road, as if it might be for sale.  It's a screw.
