Introducing.....me.

I'd like to share with you the information that I have amassed over the years writing a magazine and then a book about IH tractors in Australia. I started out listening to stories from farmers of the years these tractors were introduced. Then I was just looking for answers for myself and others  - such as "How many A-514 tractors were made?" and "What does a A-554 weigh? (or 564 or AW-7 or...)"

That's how I ended up writing a book all about tractors- "International Harvester Australia: Geelong Works" I found enough answers. The title is long. I know. I usually just refer to it as IH Geelong.  (ps. you can buy it from Amazon, order it from your local or big bookstore)

I've been able to find and answer most things that are thrown at me, but one. I still don't know exactly how many A-514 tractors were made. I have an idea, (I found an engineering report projecting the numbers) but nothing has come to my attention as facts. (I like facts.)  

I hope to share a few stories from both you, the reader, and the IH factory. There are also a lot of stories from  real people that should be out there for others to listen to. I've had the pleasure of  listening to many of these and I think everyone would have a good time if I was able to share some of them with you.
