My loyalty is IH red so don't look to see if I have any green underware with a yellow streak down the middle. I've talked to quite a few old timers and heard advantages on both sides. When it come time for threashing or sawing logs the IH line with the 4 cyl. run the belt nice and smooth vs. the 2 cyl. made the belt slap during opperation. The 2 bangers were supposedly easy to maintain and had less parts to go wrong and farmer friendly to work on for the farmer that only had a fencing pliers and a creasent-hammer. Without working on one I don't know it this is true or not but I didn't think that IH was all that tuff to maintain. Now-a-days the loyalty isn't like it used to be. Its nothing to see or hear about sombody changing colors just cause somebody from a dealer made them mad or shot them a unbeatable price. I still stick with red cause they still have a good product. The Magnum trans is still basically the same as it was as the 50, 52,and 5488 IH just with powershift. It has been a bullet proof design with minor improvments. I could go on with specific storys that are impressive but then this would get to long.
