I have an IHC (International Harvester Company) 433 that is about 60 years old and it is still in use occasionally for forest work. It is amazing how robust and reliable these old machines are.
Fun facts:
- It has 8 reverse gears and 16 forward ones. With a maximum speed of about 25 km/h this is very granular. On the other hand: the diesel engine is very forgiving and not easily stalled.
- It does have an operating hours counter instead of an odometer.
- pmiller2 7y agoI always felt as though an odometer reading was only a proxy for what really matters when it comes to most maintenance schedules (operating hours). Tires and brakes would be an exception, but for most parts, operating hours is the better proxy. There's a reason airplane maintenance schedules go by hours flown rather than distance traveled.
