I'll hide this here at the end of this thread: Decided to pass on the dump bed IH Loadstar that's been sitting for about 8 years. As someone mentioned, the cab is in darned good shape for that year truck. Even peeled up the rubber floor mat and there was minimal rust underneath. BIG mice nest in glove box. Big. Vinyl on the big bench seat looked ok, too. I'll see if I can dig up some more pics and put them here. Headliner coming down but I would have torn that out anyway along with the rubber mats. I like to see steel in old trucks, get scared what might be underneath those floor mats. Could probably revive the motor with minimal effort but the main thing was those brakes. No fluid in the reservoir, old clunky design that was not that safe to begin with, and I could just picture this big truck sitting at my place all taken apart with wheels everywhere, brake parts sitting around and no end in sight. At auction I'd expect a truck like this, even driven in under its own power, to sell for no more than a grand. I am thinking maybe $2K to get it safely down the road with still more work to be done. Thanks for the realistic replies, I'll check for photos and post here.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
