In Reply to: IH gas caps posted by James Williams on January 25, 2007 at 13:40:57:
James: I probably received my first free gas cap somewhere in the vicinity of 40 years ago. I was at the IH dealer buying parts and the partsman gave me new caps for each tractor we had on the farm with the old type cap. At that time I figured that would be the end of the practice. I also noticed he was asking folks he probably didn't know quite as well, what they had for tractors. I just supposed these were folks who had bought a used IH tractor. I thought at the time 10 years and this program will be gone. I'm sure now, 40 years later IH and later Navistar have put out 3 times as many caps as they ever did tractors with the old type cap. Our 300 in 55 came with the new type cap. 130 in 58 didn't. I was given at least another round of free caps in the mid 80s It's certainly interesting where all those caps have gone to, as it's not uncommon to find tractors still around with the old type cap. When I bought my 140 three years ago it still had the old cap. I've looked at a couple others in the past 5 years with old caps. I quite agree it's time the practice came to an end. Some folks must be using these for ornaments.
