I can understand the differences in the US and Canadian situation then. Another thing I had always heard, and it may not have been true, was that the IH diesels of the day, MD on at least through the 350/450 series, were not as strong as their gas counterparts. Only real experience I had with any of the older IH Ds was with a 350D that was on the ranch I worked on while stationed in the Air Force in Wyoming. Only work I remember doing with it was with a loader and Farmhand bale handler that picked up 8 bales dropped by an accumulator. We had 400 acres of irrigated alfalfa on the ranch and it seemed like we baled hay almost every day in the summer. They also had a 450 gas that we used for the tillage work, pulled the IH baler and an IH chopper for filling the trench silo with corn. Don't remember ever doing any hard work with the 350D, but that was 1964... 45 years ago. Don't know what is left of the ranch as I-90 goes right through the middle of it now. I do remember the 350D was easy on fuel though.
