Springfield, OH was a truck plant. There was also a stamping plant for sheetmetal in SHADYSIDE, OH that made the hoods & sheetmetal for the 2+2's. Otherwise the truck division & tractor plants really didn't "SHARE Parts" much. The other AG plants made a HUGE amount of parts for the other plants. Cabs, 3-point hitch arms, all the hoods & side panels, battery boxes, cab steps, etc. came from IH E.Moline Plant, siderails and LOTS of other heavy steel formed parts like the steel pieces for the front frame half of the 2+2 came from the old P&O Plow WORKS in Canton, IL. Quite a few gears, shafts, several truck loads of castings every day came form LVL, and also the Memphis & Indianapolis Foundrys. Engines all came from Melrose Pk. IL, except the German (Nuess)diesel's and the few 686 gas engines used in some very early 686/H86's built when I first started at FARMALL. Those came from INDY if I remember right. We built 2 maybe 3 of those per day.
