Nat: I have to disagree with you on the engine issue. It would have been a mistake to bring those driect start diesels into the northern US and Canada. It was the evolution of direct start diesel not yet ready for our cold winters. We saw the B-250 and B-275 come to Canada, and most owners had to keep a SA or SC around for tow-pup start from Nov. to April. Can you imagine what it would have been like tow-starting those big tractors on ice and snow. At that time block heaters to really do a number on these had not yet been developed. I can remember guys tow starting those B-275, first you had to find bare ground, then it took a good 1/4 mile with clutch out turning the engine. You couple that with the ease at which gas start diesels fired up, no IH did not make a mistake on that one. I quite agree with you on 3 point, we should have had it.
