Carranza, Yes, IH was great and produced great things for a long time. Was your family in the tractor business? All those old Farmalls were good tractors, we had an H and our last gas tractor was a Super C. I have never had any dealings with a 450 but they look like great tractors. But somehow they really blew it on the 460. Seems to me that whatever problems they had with the 460 had been solved with the 504. The 504 is a completely modern tractor and maybe a good bit tougher than most anything you have today. It just seems to be a much better tractor than others of that vintage, say the 4000 Ford. I have heard that after the 504 that all the small IH tractors were imported and that many came from India where IH had set up a factory earlier. I think the Mahindra tractor today is produced there. I sure looks like it owes lots of its features to IH. I believe that earlier a few smaller IH models came from England? Brother and I experimented with wind energy back in the 1970's and were early members of the AWEA. We put up an old 60' Aeromotor tower (first had to take it down) to use as a test bed for our experiments and somehow in the course of all that I visited the Dempster plant in Nebraska. I see Dempster is still making windmills, too. That didn't go the way of the buggy whip, did it? Slagle
