What do you mean not gone through? The stuff is all indexed to at elast the box level. There's still tons of articles and books.

As far as what makes it into the books, I relied on IH records and original in the period IH photographs. I am careful to know who within IH generated the record- if it came from the advertising department, it was trusted less than it came from the engineering department.

On the originality guides, a lot of the information came from IH engineering records held by Case Corporation, who still supply parts for tractors going back into the 1930s. Engineering Drawings, product change notices, and bills of materials.

I would have liked to have looked at original IH tractors, but truly original tractors are very few and far between.
