Ray: I have said this many many times, Harry Ferguson won the hitch war before IH sold their first fast hitch. Truth is his draft controll wasn't working any better than IH fast hitch. You add the fast hitch lower link sencing and the telescoping lower links seen on 3 point since 1965, Harry may have won but IH perfected his hitch. If IH had spend more time and effort into perfecting TA, hitch and IPTO, instead of spending money on that contraption they so proudly showed off last summer at Penfield. (turbine tractor) 40 years later and it still has no commercial use. Must be great to cellebrate your failures. Had IH been on the ball and had the 06 tractors ready to go in 1960, even if it meant building a few more 350-450, etc. Then followed it with the 56 series and went right to 86 series. All 66 series did was put a tractor on the market without all the kinks out and a cab of same quality as after market was already providing. The final hurrah was the biggest joke of all, the 88 series with foreward air flow. Industrial machines had this for years, put them on steady heavy pulling and you had to install a suck fan. I am glad I don't have to put on my resume that I was a decission making excutive at IH.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
