Even though International Harvester was focused in making the best farm equipment on the market. They were honored when the US Military asked if they could manufacture the M1 Rifle which was a gun that was used in all divisions of the military.
Got it for my son, former 11B, US Army, Iraq 06-07, 08-09. LEO since 2012. We purchased a M1 Garand from CMP when he got out in 2012. Went with one of the better grades. We we very pleased when we opened the case a found a beautiful 1954 IH with matching barrel and stock in very nice shape as well. It is a great shooter and he is very proud of the quality and heritage of the rifle.
I used to love to get the die cast and steel IH toys back in the 50s and 60s at the Dealer. Had pretty much all of them, tractors, hay wagons and I think my favorite was the manure spreader. I really liked how it actually worked! Wasn't so much fun though when I had to start using a real one behind an old Farmall Cub when I was 12 or 13. Midwest heat and humidity, ripe manure...Ha, ha. Good times. Learned the best ever example of, "Patience is a Virtue". Figured I could run it in 3rd gear at 3/4 or more throttle and get done really fast...Nope, that just showed me how to get a total manure shower real quick! Thanks for all of the fantastic things IH has done for America over the years! Feeding billions, defending Freedom, the Scout, Scout II, multiple pick-ups, and truck chassis (don't get me started on the multiple IH firetrucks I used in my 23 year Firefighter days). Hope you all had a great 4th of July!
P.S. Fun fact. As kids we used to be able to identify whose farm was whose by two things: A Funk's Hybrid or a Dekalb seed sign on the corner post at the section road and whether the tractors in the field were green or red!
