to add to the I-series tractors used as aircraft tugs, the international A was used. I have a friend whom's father is a korean war vet. he said that International A's and Allis B's were used to pull smaller single engine planes and misc. maint. equipment. The I-series tractors were used to tug heavier multiple engine planes. he actually purchased one of the allis b's after they were surplused out. he said all of the ih tractors were industrial models, painted the normal red(some being yellow), and had military insignia stenciled onto the hood. I will ask him if he has any pictures that I can borrow in order to post them. P.S. while we are on the subject of ih and the military, ih produced a number of M1 Garands as a sub-contractor for the government in the 1950's. i wish i had a nickel for every time someone asks me why i have a rifle in my curio along with a sea of red IH stuff. most dont believe me until i take it out and show them the IHC markings on the reciever!
