I have been toying with the idea of remanufaturing the gearbox that drives the side-mounted Electrall. I have some machine tools but would need to use a foundry to cast some parts. It does sound like a dumb idea because it would be expensive and the gearbox would only fit a few models for only a few years. Nonetheless, it would allow people with an incomplete trailer or fast hitch Electrall to add significant value to their SMTA thru 560. Beat-up Electrall junk sometimes attracts high bids on eBay. A fellow near Des Moines, IA usually gets it. I suppose the design could be altered to fit 300 thru 656 or 686(?). The output is "live" and other equipment such as air compressors, hydraulic pumps, welders, and other generators could be driven off of it. Yes, I realize that the belt pulley gearbox is available for these applications but it is not "live" and some may find that is a desirable feature for their application. The purpose of this post is to find out what IHC did with their old Electrall parts, or any obsolete parts inventory. Did they scrap the stuff or liquidate it to another business? I sent a list of 11 part numbers to my local dealer and everything came back as "discontinued" or "invalid part #". I seem to recall, many years ago, this same dealer had another source for discontinued "new old stock" parts. Is anybody aware of a business that buys up and specializes in IH discontinued parts? Some of you may refer me to an article in the Jan-Feb 2001 Red Power Mag. It says that The Farmall Works received some excess Electralls from the truck division for disposal to farm equipment dealers. It doesn't indicate what FW did with the parts that they may have held in inventory for awhile.

A Towny Goes Plowing - by Anthony West (UK). I live in an area renowned for its rural beauty. Small fields with hedgerows and trees are common place, as are small hamlets with village greens and the odd duck pond complete with swans. The center of any village once the shop is closed is the old tavern. Rustic places with cheerful names like "The Griffin" "Red Lion" or "The Plough and Harrow" are found dotted around the country lanes all over the place. The warm glow of yellowish light can be seen for quite some distance at dusk, and
