Tom:
That's what I figured - I knew the name, but more from their dragline and excavator equipment (made in Wasau, I believe..). From a google expedition, I learned that IHC formed a partnership with Drott in 1950 to put their loader equipment on IHC dozers. IHC subsequently designed their own version. The other thing I found out is the Hough loader was also an IHC product/company....

Kendell,
Yup the Frank Hough Co. was bought up by IH, then Kamotsu(sp), bought bougth the IHline up and then Dresser bout them out. Hough was from Libertyville Ilinois not to far from me. The had a auction at the plant a few years ago and I went to see if I could find any IH stuff, nothing was to be found by me.
