My dad worked at a IH dealership in the 70S and I remember hearing him tell stories of the hard times with high interest rates and poor economy. The dealership he worked at went bankrupt and equipment that was from last season was getting sent back to IH or other dealers. He said they were taking their forklift and setting brand new plows one right on top of the the other and of course popping tires. As tears rolled down his face he said it was a sad day. He loved IH equipment and loved working for IH. As a kid I would go to work with him. Man those were good days, I remember them like it was yesterday!

Lots of memoies stirred up here, since I also worked for IHCC back in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
