Here we are 40 years later and they say we needed more fuel efficient engines, regarding EPA!
I have a 1974 IH 2050A with a 1160 Cat engine, .5 emissions, plenty of power for the category of truck and it is NOT a thirsty engine! Very little maintenance!
265 MF tractor, clean running after 35 years, plenty of power and efficiency for the category, again very little maintenance.
