The most likely surprise for someone unfamiliar with IH of that era would be the torque amplifier. A very helpful option, but if you don't know to check it before buying it can bite. Do a Search of this site (type "torque amplifier" in the Search block at the top of the Forum page, be sure the 'Search Area" stays on Farmall Forum."
