Just 55 years ago today as International Harvester was gearing up for the production of their new Cub, the union was making rumblings about a long strike that would bring IH to its knees. In a little known action the brass negotiated a test run of Cubs to be assembled in the recently shut down Cletrac plant. Go to the HELP IDENTIFY page to the left and see picture of the survivor.
